    We had a three hour tour with family (children included) around Fukuoka. Our guide Luis was amazing - so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Luis enriched our experience and helped us plan the rest of our trip, we definitely had a much better understanding of the city and what it had to offer because of his expertise. A huge thanks Luis for an unforgettable Fukuoka adventure!

    Mike was very helpful in his answers to my questions about the city, and really made an effort to point me to the underrated places pertaining to food, which is exactly what I wanted. He also made the tour engaging by giving me interesting context about how the history of the city is reflected in the modern day in terms of architecture, businesses and tradition.
