Great food in Nagasaki - Armand was waiting for us when we came off our cruise ship. We had communicated by email after booking about what foods we wanted to try during the walking tour so the tour was arranged accordingly. He took us to have wagyu, sashimi, Castella cake, and sake tasting! Needless to say, everything was delicious! Armand actually went an hour over in order to get everything in. He is very professional and really tries to make sure you get the most out of your time.

Excellent afternoon - great for kids! - Armand showed us more about his adopted hometown than we've experienced during food tours in other cities, and we learned a great deal about Nagasaki's unique history. It was our pleasure to spend the afternoon with him. He was engaging and perfectly suited to make the experience positive for our children. And, of course, the food was excellent! I very highly recommend the wagyu place he picked out. First rate! One note, so expectations are clear: plan to walk fast! It's worth it to see so much of this beautiful city.

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!
