Great private walking tour - Our guide Radim was a delight. He took us on a 4 hour walking tour of Fukuoka and a short train ride to Japan's largest lying Budda. He was very knowlegable of the area and history. We highly recommend booking his private tour to show you this lovely city and learn more.

Fukuoka serenity - Over approx three hours our guide Radim took us on an easy walk through a number of impressive temples and tranquil shrine gardens that were readily accessible but would have taken days us days of hits and misses to find ourselves. He was engaging and informative, chatty and considerate. Highly recommend. We even saw a sumo wrestler!

Walking Tour - This is a walking tour. I thought a bus or van would pick you up then walk on foot at the location. Transportation and events/ entry is paid by the traveler and not by the tour.
Ramid did a good job as a guide. Very knowledgeable and personable. He follow through before and after the tour was great.
