Absolutely Brilliant - This was an excellent experience. I had the great honor of being guided by Bruce who has been living in Fukuoka for more than 20 years and has made a significant impact on the modern Yatai food scene. He was very professional and fun. He explained and showed me the true essence of Fukuoka which helped me further understand its local culture. I am a big history and culture person, so I had an absolutely stellar time. Highly recommend this tour and please ask for Bruce if you are interested in the Yatai!

First time exploring Fukuoka - Great interaction with Eli. Fun to explore city on own time with private tour guide and allows deviation which suites your schedule and time and interest.

The best of fukuoka through its food and its people - The 6 hours of the tour flew by! Bruce was wonderful, he is passionate about life in Japan, its culture and its food. He passed on his love for the place. He's a happy man!

Excellent tour guide - The experience Yu provided felt like catching up with an old friend in a new city rather than being taken around on a tour. This was excellent. The experience was a very warm welcoming to a wonderful city.

Ken was an excellent guide - Lots of walking (good) and stimulating conversation with a cool local. Ken kept the tour moving along and we visited a number of places that didn’t appear in the guides. My personal preferences were taken into account. Highly recommended.

Inside Fukuoka - The tour with Yutaro was exceptional and provided my wife and I with a lasting impression of this beautiful city. Yu's passion and knowledge of his home town enhanced our time together as he shared his experiences visiting the local temples as a child. He also provided valuable recommendations of local restaurants that were high in taste and vibe but off the typical tourist circuit. We appreciated Yu's personal touch and have a much greater appreciation for Fukuoka than if we had tried to navigate this great city on our own. Many thanks Yu!
