You can learn a lot of about Nagoya Castle. - I had a great time with a guide and other tourists. If I didn't join this tour, I have missed so much information about the castle and backgrounds of this historical establishment.

Toshi was a very patient and professional guide ! - The Tour was very interesting , Nagoya Castle really deserves a visit and Toshi was a great Guide . Unfortunately not all the customers know how to travel , and know that if you book a tour you should arrive before the tour starts , and no 33 minutes later . If we had started on time , there wouldn’t have been so much crowd , and lines !

Beautiful Nagoya Castle with Toshi - Toshi, our guide, was great. We had a private tour of the grounds. How beautiful. Be ready to walk! Getting there was easy on the purple line as it drops you right by the east gate.

Great Customer Service during a potential tsunami - My cruise ship arrived in Nagoya the morning of the tsunami warnings in Japan. We were not allowed off the ship while the warnings were in effect. I contacted the tour guide to explain the situation and cancel the tour. The guide was very understanding and offered me two options for a later port call in Hiroshima at no cost. The options presented to me did not fit the desires of our group of four so I declined. To my surprise the tour group refunded my money! Great customer service. Hope I get a chance to use this tour group in the future.
