Fukuoka Full-Day Private Tour with Sasuke. - Got to spend the day with Sasuke, who was very friendly, and gave us a great taste of the Fukuoka area. We loved getting to see several temples/shrines, and getting to explore around town. Thank you Sasuke for making our trip to Fukuoka a memorable one!

Great trip with great tour guide - Guide Shannon is very entertaining and good knowledge of the places we visited. Timing and arrangements of the whole trip is very well plan. We visited places we requested and timing is perfect. We don't feel rush. We are able to have time taking photo relax and shop.

A full day touring! - We had a wonderful day touring Tokyo with Minoru. He showed us more than we would have been able to cover on our own. He was also very knowledgeable and flexible! I highly recommend him!

Private tour of Fukouka - Our guide Peko met us at the port right off our ship. She was fabulous. We took a taxi to the main railway station and headed out to Nanzoin to see the reclining Buddha. Breathtaking. She was so knowledgeable and made the experience so enjoyable. Next we headed back into town and we had lunch in the rooftop garden of the station which had fabulous views over the city. Next we took matcha tea and sweets at a small tea house in a beautiful garden. Then 2 temples one of which we went inside the Buddha and a short stop at the heritage museum. Then back to the ship on plenty of time. We would never have been able to see so much on our own and Peko’s knowledge and personality was the icing on the cake. Definitely recommend a tour with Peko. She was fabulous. Taxi fares and transport costs were not expensive.

Erica…a fantastic guide in Fukuoka - Erica was a fantastic guide. We had limited time but she planned a beautiful day for us. She not only guided us to many locations but had detailed explanations of everything. She also was great at showing us the hidden details of daily life in Japan. We highly recommend Erica.
