Highlight of Nagasaki with a terrific guide - Exceptionally well-organized full-day walking tour of Nagasaki with guide, Armand van den Hamer. This was for a group of six cruise ship passengers, all in our 70’s. Armand and I had ample opportunity to plan the sites we visited , and he took special care to lay out a route that minimized stairs and uphill walking. That said, we probably covered close to 7 km during the day, so my advice would be to be well-aware of the fitness level of your group. In between the major sites we visited, Armand took care to point out interesting small details - the kind of things large group tours and most walking tours miss. His narrative at the major stops was fact-filled and with just the right amount of detail. Even lunch along the way was a real treat. A multicourse set meal at a local restaurant with excellent service and a nice variety of offerings. Noticing some fatigue late in the day, we made some adjustments and added a scenic stop high above the city that we were able to reach by elevator on the way back to the ship. All in all absolutely terrific day.

Amazing Day in Nagasaki with Armand - Our guide Armand was amazing. His enthuasim and easy going personality made it a very enjoyable day. He took us to off the beaten path to places where we could learn and observe how the locals live. His stories were also very educational and entertaining. We would definitely recommend Armand.

A full day in Nagasaki! - Mack was a very kind and patient tour guide. We covered every place we wanted to see and more in Nagasaki. He patiently helped me identify items to eat and drink for my unique diet. He answered all of our questions, and was a very pleasant person to spend the day with.

Outstanding day with Kinoshita-San in Nagasaki - Mr Kinoshita was very knowledgeable about Nagasaki history and sights. He accommodated our time and changes to the program. He wanted us to spend as much time as we liked at all the sights. More than anything we really liked his company as he is a very interesting person from his background. We really enjoyed our day in his company and strongly encourage anyone to ask for him as a guide.
