Friendly, adaptable, knowledgeable, and kind - Hyde-san was an excellent guide and provided helpful assistance and support when translating for our English-speaking family at locations specific to our genealogical needs. His understanding of the traffic patterns around town helped maximize our tour time. We appreciate his open-mindedness and life-long learning approach to his work! His friendliness and sense of humor also added brightness to a rainy and cloudy day.

Easy and Fun Experience. - Masumi was an excellent guide, very friendly and knowledgable. If you want to see a bit more in your time, definitely recommend hiring a vehicle which will maximise your time in Naha. Our small group loved the flexibility of the private tour. Highly recommended.

Great intro to Naha - Hiromi was a great guide to work with. Very informative and professional. She got in touch with us to understand our requirements for the tour way ahead of our travel date, and it made for a wonderful day exploring Naha and it's surroundings with her. We even had the pleasure of witnessing a Shuri festival street parade which was great happenstance.

Hyde was very communicative beforehand and attentive to our priority sites to visit. - Hyde was great about communicating by email and WhatsApp before the tour so we were clear about where we were going during our 6 hours. His knowledge of the local scene helped us avoid traffic mess on a parade day. He warned us ahead about a possible typhoon so we were able to adjust plans days in advance of bad weather. He took us where we asked to go and understood our interest in WWII. He added some places of interest, into our allotted time, that we didn’t know existed. He even went out of his way to assist us with needed information after the tour. A genuinely helpful and caring gentleman.

Historical tour - Hyde has an absolute passion for history and is well versed in this area. He had planned for us to visit the Okinawa Peace Museum, the Himeyuri Peace Museum, the memorial is Lt General Simon Buckner Jr, lunch at the fish markets, the former Japanese Naval Underground Headquarters and then to the shopping district. It was a little different to what we expected as there was not much walking and mainly taxi rides which had not been communicated in advance. Great tour if you’re into history. We would have liked to see more of the local culture and flare of this city.
