        Jessica has excellent knowledge of the area and tailored the tour to us perfectly! She showed us excellent sites in the Hakata area, two of which are listed as national treasures.

        The canal ferry ride was fantastic! It was a recommendation from the guide, very good scenery. The guide knew a lot about the area, and we had a good time even while walking around!

        Lovely way to see the city in the eyes of a local. We had a 4 hour walking tour and even though it was a very wet day, we enjoyed every moment. We say many sights, tried lots of different snacks and took it all the city had to offer. Our guide was very courteous, friendly and went out of her way to help us out with restaurants bookings and recommendation, even after our tour with her had ended. We enjoyed the most: Seeing sights which were off the beaten track. Having matcha in a tatami room after a visit to a quiet garden was by far the most memorable part of the walk.
