This is a great tour, with many options. We chose Nagoya Castle, and because we weren't interested in shopping, we asked our guide before the trip if we could do Tokugawaen Garden. We were so lucky an amazingly knowledgeable and very flexible guide, Toshi, agreed to take us to both places. The Castle is amazing, both inside an out, with a long history. The collection of artwork inside the castle, on floors, ceilings and walls, is mind-boggling. Tokugawaen Garden was equally impressive, but because we took so many photos at both places it took longer than the time allocated for our trip. Toshi could not have been more obliging, even taking us back to the Cruise Terminal where he both collected and returned us. This was greatly appreciated, since we are not experienced train travellers. We are so glad to have Toshi as our guide.
