The only way to see Fukuoka - Short on time in Fukuoka? Eli is the best person to maximise your time in Fukuoka. She was insightful, friendly and patient. It was as if an old friend was showing us around Fukuoka. We would have not been able to see as much of this city without this tour!

A great way to see Fukuoka. - Incredibly chill and informative afternoon walking around Fukuoka with Eli. She was very knowledgeable and certainly made us feel like we were touring with a local. She made some great recommendations and showed us more of Fukuoka than we would have known existed. Thanks Eli!!

Better than the ship Offering! - We had a cruise port stop in Fukuoka and we hired Chris to show us around town for a few hours. He met us at the port and took us to Five different destinations we wanted to see. He will customize base on timeline and your desired wish list. We even got to pop into a 7-Eleven very quickly so we could try one of their Eggie sandwiches. :) Chris teaches English at the local university so it was nice to be able to communicate so clearly We were done on time and he assisted us with the directions back to the ship, definitely better than a ship tour!

Don't do a walking tour in Fukuoka on a rainy day! - Fukuoka needs a fine day, and a truly LOCAL guide. Unfortunately it rained heavily all day. We came off the cruise ship and to meet our guide we had to walk some 10-15 minutes in the rain to the ferry terminal (not the international cruise terminal). This was because this is where the local bus leaves from. If we had known this we would have got the ship's shuttle into town and arranged to meet the guide there as we also had to walk back to the ship in the rain from the ferry terminal. The guide communicated well beforehand and warned us there could be moderate rain and suggested the itinerary be amended. We agreed and asked him to do that. Sadly we discovered he had no ideas for other places where there was more shelter. We wandered through a basic market - fish and food, then decided that was enough and terminated the tour. On a fine day going to places like Ohuri Park would have been nice. Although his English was very good, the guide was not experienced, he was not from Fukuoka and this was only his 4th tour. When hiring a "local" guide we suggest you check out their actual knowledge of the city and its attractions. You pay a lot for these walking tours and at the end of our short time with him we felt sorry for him and tipped him although Viator had let us down with the guide allocated to us.
