Delicious food, great company, lovely walk - We enjoyed our time with Armand as he took us to try FRESH sashimi at a lovely restaurant. Everything there was delicious. After lunch we had a pleasant walk to a temple which was very beautiful. There we enjoyed a casual tea ceremony where we met some lovely locals celebrating a 90th birthday. The grounds were calming and serene. Next we walked through the city and an arcade to best ice cream shop! All in all a great day. Thank you Armand!

Nagasaki Walking Food Tour with Senyo - I booked a walking food tour of Nagasaki in November and was assigned Senyo as the guide. Senyo made early communication, including a survey, to establish our interests and tailor the tour specifically to us. He was very easy to talk to and it was evident that he really enjoyed meeting new people as a part of his job as a tour guide. During the tour itself, Senyo took us to some pre-planned destinations but was also extremely flexible and allowed us to alter the tour to suit the vibe we were looking for. It was a great way to see Nagasaki on foot and familiarise ourselves with the city. Senyo stayed to guide us longer than the actual tour was booked for because we were having so much fun and when he left us, he provided us with a detailed itinerary of how to catch the rope way up to Mt. Inasa where we saw the beautiful city lit up and evening fireworks. I could not recommend booking a tour with Senyo more highly. He really helped us make the most of the small amount of time we had in Nagasaki and showed us many hidden gems of the city!

Tasty Food Tour in Nagasaki - We took a short 3 hour food tour of Nagasaki with Maasaki. Wow! We had some delicious tastings of local Nagasaki specialties. After the tour Maasaki took us up to Mt Inasa for a ride on the cable car to the top. What a spectacular view of the city with surrounding mountains and sea. Our guide was thoughtful, helpful and easy to communicate with. We enjoyed everything! Thank you for sharing your beautiful city with us!
