Kyoko met us at the Nagasaki ship port. It was a hot day; 89 to 92 degrees! I have arthritis in my knees and can’t walk long distances. At the beginning of the tour, we knew that we did not have the stamina for the entire 6 hour tour; so went over her planned itinerary, and we decided which parts we wanted to do, and which parts we were OK with not doing. Kyoko was easily able to make adjustments to her planned itinerary. Also because of the heat and my physical limitation, we decided to take taxi cabs to the places we went after the Atomic Bomb Museum. That worked very well for us, and we didn’t mind paying for the taxi rides. We had a lovely time with Kyoko; she was a wonderful guide. Thank you, Kyoko, for such a wonderful time!
We truly appreciate you sharing your experience. Kyoko will be delighted to know that her flexibility helped you enjoy Nagasaki at a pace that suited you, especially on such a hot day. Thank you for spending your time with us. Nagasaki Private Tours
Yuri was a fabulous tour guide. She was in contact with us several times leading up to the tour due to me contacting her after a knee injury. She met us at the cruise terminal and returned with us to the same location. Her knowledge of the atomic bomb and the general history of Nagasaki was outstanding. The stories she told about her families history was extremely interesting and captivating. Yuri is extremely caring and found areas for me to rest my knee when required. This would have to be our best tour while in Japan. At the end of the tour she gave us a couple of keepsakes. Thank you Yuri. You are amazing!!!
We’re very grateful for your thoughtful review. Yuri will be delighted to know that her care and flexibility helped you enjoy the day despite your knee injury.

We had a fantastic tour with Yuri. She helped us get to all our locations efficiently while providing us with great information about Nagasaki and each site. She had a well thought out itinerary and was also able to pivot so we avoided crowds or delays. Shr recommended a great sushi restaurant. We visited the peace museum where she guided us through and added insight based on her family's experiences. We also rode the cable cars for a great mountain view and visited Glover Garden. We appreciated her making sure we made it back to our cruise ship on time. She also speaks English really well (plus German)
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed your day in Nagasaki with Yuri. She will be very pleased to know that her planning, flexibility, and explanations helped make the tour a good experience for you. We hope to welcome you back to Japan again someday.

Being a first time traveler in Nagasaki was different. Mohamed showed me how to use the Tran and navigate how one can ride on them. He was knowledgeable of the history of Nagasaki and engaged in fruitful conversations with my son. He also helped us enjoy a sea food local lunch at a local restaurant where he helped me choose the menu which was in Japanese.
We truly appreciate your thoughtful review. It is wonderful to hear that Mohamed helped make your first visit to Nagasaki smooth and enjoyable, from using the tram to learning about the city’s history. We are also glad he could help with the Japanese menu so you could enjoy a local seafood lunch. Nagasaki Private Tours
Mohammed was a wonderful guide - very well spoken and easy to understand - he provided great insight and took us easily to Atomic Bomb Museum, Peace Park, walking through historic bridges over the canal, then to Chinatown for an amazing feast and finally to Clover Gardens to appreciate scenic views as well as history and mammoth koi fish! Highly recommend.
Thank you very much for your kind review. We are glad to hear that you had a wonderful day in Nagasaki with Mohammed. It is nice to know that his guidance helped you enjoy the city’s history, scenery, and local food throughout the tour. Thank you for recommending us and for choosing our full-day tour.

We had an absolutely wonderful day exploring Nagasaki with our guide, Yudi. From the moment we met her, she was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. She brought the history of Nagasaki to life with thoughtful explanations and stories that gave us a much deeper appreciation for the city, its people, and its resilience. The tour was perfectly paced, well organized, and tailored to our interests. Yudi was attentive, answered all of our questions, and made us feel like we were spending the day with a friend rather than simply following a guide. If you’re visiting Nagasaki, we highly recommend requesting Yudi. She turned what would have been a sightseeing tour into one of the most meaningful experiences of our trip to Japan. Thank you for an unforgettable day!

As we explored Nagasaki, our amazing guides, Yuri and Karen, brought the city's past to life by generously sharing their own family’s history regarding the atomic bomb. Hearing these deeply personal, firsthand accounts completely transformed our sightseeing into an unforgettable connection to the culture, making this an extraordinary, deeply moving experience that we will cherish forever. The exceptional service actually began days before our arrival when the manager, Hiro, reached out to ensure we knew exactly what to expect. We are incredibly grateful to Hiro, Yuri, and Karen for their hospitality and meaningful storytelling, and this team is a must book for anyone visiting Japan.
