Our host for our Nagasaki tour was Miki, she was great. Prior to our tour she communicated often with us in preparation for our tour. She helped us use the bus to get around town. We espcially liked visiting the Atomic Bomb gardens and museum, although very sobering. We had an instant connection with Miki as we are from Washington State and Miki had attended the University of Washington. We will be returning to Nagasaki in two weeks and Miki provided us a list of additional things we could see and do on our return. It was a great day for us and the rain even held off for us. We highlt reconmend this tour and hope you get Miki as your tour guide.

Our guide, Shin, was a joy to have as our guide. It was like walking with a friend who was proud of his home city, and to be able to show us around. We were very fortunate to have his deep local knowledge, as he took us to locations we could not have known to visit; with each one added unanticipated depth and context. Add in his knowledge of greater Japan, and it's history within the world, and you have a consummate guide.
