On private day tours in Fukuoka, there’s no doubt that every traveler’s ideal itinerary will look a little different. After all, the city has an effortless blend of Kyoto’s culture and Tokyo’s big-city energy, so there’s something for everyone. Perhaps in your opinion, the best private tours in Fukuoka should be an exploration of opulent temples, preserved tradition, and tiny tonkotsu ramen restaurants.

Live it up like a local

With too many iconic attractions to possibly keep track of, from scenic Ohori Park to stunning shrines, Fukuoka has no shortage of sights along its well-trodden tourist trail. But when you have a local guide to take the reins on private Fukuoka tours, your experience is bound to be something out of the ordinary. Our Fukuoka private tours don’t only take you to the top attractions – they lead you off the beaten track. Famous cafés serving flannel drip coffee (a local specialty) and the best street food stalls in the city are just a few places you can look forward to exploring.

Fueled by ramen

Are Fukuoka private tours making you hungry? You’re in the right place. If there’s one thing Fukuoka is most famous for, it’s the city’s inimitable food scene. Loved across Japan, Fukuoka’s specialties are a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach – but none is more iconic than silky, creamy, umami Tonkotsu ramen. Private ramen tours in Fukuoka are the perfect way to find the best of the best. Our local guides can show you this famous meal in all its forms, from bottomless bowls of fresh noodles at a 10-seater ramen joint to restaurants with ramen tickets inside a vending machine!

Latest reviews from our guests

Our guide has spent time planning our trip just after I booked the excursion, taking care of details what our preferences. Within 4 hours we covered different aspects of the city, from historial shrine, street scapes, witness people queling up for buy their favorate snacks, shopping streets with stunning waterfalls, nice city park with lakes and a lovely Japanese gardens, and few traditional residential streets. Experiencing travel on the underground train system to various sections of the city and as well as walking. A very nice experience!

Bruce really tailored the itinerary for what we wanted to see and made the whole day great. His background both in the US and 42 years in the local area really made everything easy to get the feel for this wonderful city!

We took a 4 hour tour with Jocelyn and we had a lovely time. There was lots of walking, but we saw many interesting things from shrines, a water show at the downtown shopping area and lovely gardens. Jocelyn was in contact with me a few times in advance of our trip to plan according to our interests. This tour was among the best we have had. Having it taylored to us makes all the difference. Jocelyn was always concerned about our well-being. She spoke English perfectly and helped us travel on the bus and get us safely into a cab at the end of the tour. We had lunch at a local Ramen restaurant that was a Fukuoaka specialty and it was delicious! We could not have asked for a better guide and tour. Thank you Jocelyn!
