We had a wonderful afternoon seeing a few sights of Nagasaki with Fauzul our guide. She was extremely accommodating as my girlfriend has mobility issues and as well we requested seeing the beauty of the city as opposed to the tragic history. We started out on foot to climb to a high view point which was wonderful as they had several elevators for us to take to minimize the walking. There was also a beautiful garden up there. Then we travelled by tram to see Spectacles Bridge, Peace Park and ended in Chinatown. We had a great visit and learned a little Japanese along the way. Arigato Fauzul.

Fantastic way to see Nagasaki. We had an exceptional tour guide, Yuri. She took into account our ages, 72-82 and work the tour around that and what we wanted to visit. We used public transport to get from 1 place to the next and Yuri helped us negotiate it all the way. Couldn't be more pleased with Yuri or the tour.

Shin was our guide today and he is very nice man, who's knowledgeable, insightful, adaptable, and very well versed in the history, traditions, and culture of the local area, and greater Japan. While touring, we felt like we were walking and talking with a friend, who just happened to be a great local guide that loves his job. Walking and riding the trolly were a lot of fun, and allowed us to see so many things that we'd never have otherwise seen.

Yuri was a wonderful young lady who took our ages into account when planning and showing us around Nagasaki. We are 4 retired ladies ranging in age from 72 to 83. She was so very knowledgeable and gave us relevant information about each site we visited. Hearing about and seeing the Peace Memorial Park and the Hypocentre Park was sad but fascinating. Yuri used the public transport system to get us around which saved not only time but made it easier for all of us. We would highly recommend this tour and especially Yuri as a guide to our families and friends.

What you’ll do

Perhaps best known for being the site of a WWII tragedy, Nagasaki has rebuilt itself as one of Japan’s most charming port cities, with culturally significant attractions far beyond museums and memorials. You’ll get a three-hour crash course in navigating Nagasaki, from its lively shopping streets to the peaceful Nagasaki Seaside Park – and get plenty of food recommendations at Chinatown along the way. You’ll see the curiously-shaped Fukusai-ji temple, rebuilt after WWII as a mausoleum for fallen Japanese soldiers, but you’ll also experience the side of Nagasaki’s history you might be less familiar with at the European-style Oura Cathedral and Dutch Slope – a stone-paved street with the former Western-style residences of foreign traders.
