Latest reviews from our guests

Bruce walked with me around showing places of interest and good restaurants. It was a very good intro around the city. Park was very nice and basically a good exercise walk in the morning as well. Thanks Bruce.

We had a wonderful day with Bruce, and he provided us with exactly the experience we were looking for. Bruce gave us an introduction to Japan since we had just arrived the previous night. I wanted help tackling some administrative tasks like picking up our sumo tickets and getting subway cards. Bruce led us through those processes, took us on our subway maiden voyage, and also gave us a tour around Hakata station where we enjoyed the rooftop view. We then went to a hideaway Japanese restaurant where we got to experience an authentic neighborhood lunch. He took us around winding back streets through the neighborhood and pointed out attractions that we returned to later in the day. Bruce was an entertaining companion and tailored our tour to meet our particular needs.

Bruce is one of the absolute best guides I've ever had! I briefed him by email the night before our meeting, regarding my expectations and goals. He managed to fulfill them all, and then some. His forte' is food. Not the tourist trap types of eating establishments. But the small surprising neighborhood restaurants. Treasured by locals. He's a truly thoughtful gentleman, who knows the city well and how to cover a lot of territory in a limited amount of time. Being extremely knowledgeable and lighthearted. He not only taught and informed me, but kept me smiling and entertained. I highly recommend choosing Bruce as your Fukuoka private tour guide.

He took me to many shrines and temples. Showed me a lot of the historic culture and explained (in detail) the history and meaning of the destinations. I would recommend Taiyo for any tourist that can book him. 100/10.
