Our guide, Sho was exceptional. He altered the trip, after meeting us, to visit other stores and sites he thought we would enjoy. We had a lovely picnic under the full bloom cherry blossoms that was so memorable. Everything about the experience with Sho and the Tour company was fantastic. They stayed in contact with us the weeks before our visit and everything went so smoothly and we enjoyed every minute! I would highly recommend Sho and this company. We were so impressed we are booking a similar tour when we are in Tokyo.

Sho was fantastic. He built the perfect day for us with a combination of shopping andical culture. We had the most perfect picnic under the full bloom cherry blossoms. If was wonderful learning about Nagasaki and the local culture and food specialities. I hope anyone booking this trip is lucky enough to have Sho show them his Nagasaki.

Shin provided a wonderful tour of Nagasaki. He met us on time, was very personable and his English was very good. The cherry blossoms were not blooming, except for a few trees, but that did not stop us from having a great day. He provided bento box lunches, catering to our likes, and we had a very nice lunch in a park by one of the few blooming trees. A great day despite Mother Nature not cooperating.

Shinn met us on time at the cruise port just as planned. He arranged a nice itinerary around the city focused on its natural beauty. One in our group is in a wheelchair , which he was able to accommodate nicely. He provided a magnificent Bento box lunch on a pleasant hillside before taking us back. He even took time to help us navigate a huge mall in search of some special items. Friendly, knowledgeable and easily understood English, Shinn is your Nagasaki guide.
