The tour was nice. We were only in Fukuoka for a day so not much time to see a lot. Our guide took us to a local Ramon restaurant which was an eye opening experience. Walked around Fukuoka park which was a nice wind down after our flight from Singapore. Thank you very much.

Company matched me with the perfect guide- I can't say enough wonderful things about John and his tour. Fun, informative and enjoyable. I felt that this tour was far more than sightseeing- John went above and beyond to not only show me many sights but to also answer all my questions and offer assistance and advice about my remaining time in Fukuoka.An excellent experience, I highly recommend.BosseR16

Guiden blev sjuk. Och vi kunde inte en annan tid. Så det blev ingen guidning. Vi hade bara några få dagar i Fukuoka och ett omfattande program.

You can find yourself saying WTF anywhere in Japan, but here the airport code is FUK so fun just writes itself. When I saw that my guide had lived in Fukuoka for 30 years and still retained a NYC flourish, WTF crossed my mind. Luis is fluent in English, Spanish and Japanese and is deeply woven into the community. I asked for a day of worthwhile places that I might miss and planning for the next few days. We did just that and enjoyed the city from sea and land while I learned about Fukuoka and how Luis ended up choosing to live here. During our walks we ran into folks that recognized Luis and said hello to us in all three of his languages! I followed many of Luis recommendations and came away feeling that he understood exactly the types of experiences I was seeking. If you are good he will get you a Brooklyn Burger if you are missing the taste of home. And like any New Yorker he knows where the good and bad are located so get yourself situated with a typical or different city intro. I can’t recommend Luis enough.Lynn_H

Sumire from pre-tour was very timely in her response to my questions. She suggested a time change which worked out perfectly for us. She was in formative and very flexible. I would highly recommend her to any individual or group who wants a nice, informative tour. She is very knowledgeable.

Our guide Kenny was lovely. he was 30 mins early at our meeting point so we had extra time with him. He was honest when he ddnt know the answers to our questions. He took us to see the biggest wooden buddha in Japan and taught us the prayer rituals. then to the food stalls. Sweets before mains but thats fine by me. The ramen from the yatai's was delicious. We lingered too long talking and drinking at the yatai's that we were politely asked to fnish up. the boat tour by the river was romantic. best advise he gave us was the location of the "100 yen" sushi train. Oh my goodness! we went there the next day and had the best value for great quality sushi!
