Terrific personalized Nagasaki city tour by great guide - Senyo was excellent. Very knowledgeable of Nagasaki. Great walking tour and very flexible. We rode the trolleys, strolled up to the big houses on the hill, ate delicious crepes and just had a great time. Highly recommended.

Nice guide but not proficient in English - Our guide Yuki could not have been nicer and did her best to make sure that we had a good tour, but her English was not proficient enough for this tour. She didn’t know enough history or couldn’t communicate it to us, leaving us to read about the history and details of Nagasaki history on information panels. The nice thing about the tour was that it was bespoke and we were able to select the places that we wanted to go.
