Reviews of Our Nagoya Experiences

We loved the tour and Sammy was excellect. She was very well informed knew the city very well funny and kind. The food was delicious and very plentiful and the Izakaya bars we visited were lively interesting different and fun. My biggest negative was we paid twice the amount of other similar food tours booked in other parts of Japan so thought very expensive for what it was. 10 points for the tour guide though.

Stephen was a long time local of Nagoya and as a native English speaker, really helped bridge the gap between my group and the locals. We ended the food tour in a hole in the wall place with extreme local flair. The history and characters at the place were fantastic and I wish I would have had more time to hang out and enjoy that scene. Stephen was extremely nice and we enjoyed the Sakura festival scene as well as the Osu district. We would do it again!

We had a walking tour of Nagoya and dinner with Takako. She has traveled significantly, which makes her a fascinating person to chat with, let alone a knowledgeable tour guide. I particularly enjoyed her positive energy and cheerful demeanor. We had a lovely time with her!
