What people are saying about Nagasaki Prefecture Tours
Nagasaki Half-Day Private Tour with Government-Licensed Guide
"I highly recommend. The website was easy to use. After paying, I was hooked up directly with my guide via email. We communicated via email and LINE to coordinate the morning’s itinerary and logistics. All of that worked perfectly. My guide, Yoshiko Hattori, showed up on time at my hotel. She was very friendly, knowledgeable, and adaptable to my preferences. This is not a canned tour, but a custom designed itinerary to serve your particular interests. Yoshi was able to put together a morning that included many of the primary historical sites I was interested in visiting, and she was helpful to me in pointing the way to visit more places on my own. I wanted to do most of my tour on foot and street car, which she was able to accommodate, but if taxi is preferred, that can be arranged as well. In short, a very enjoyable morning spent with a very pleasant person who shared much about Nagasaki from a personal perspective."..."
