Although we met at a subway station a little out of town, Bruce was able to guide us back to the city and picked up a few great tips on the way

Kickstart Fukuoka

Sumire from pre-tour was very timely in her response to my questions. She suggested a time change which worked out perfectly for us. She was in formative and very flexible. I would highly recommend her to any individual or group who wants a nice, informative tour. She is very knowledgeable.

Nice and informative

The tour was nice. We were only in Fukuoka for a day so not much time to see a lot. Our guide took us to a local Ramon restaurant which was an eye opening experience. Walked around Fukuoka park which was a nice wind down after our flight from Singapore. Thank you very much.

Wonderful start to my Fukuoka stay!

Company matched me with the perfect guide- I can't say enough wonderful things about John and his tour. Fun, informative and enjoyable. I felt that this tour was far more than sightseeing- John went above and beyond to not only show me many sights but to also answer all my questions and offer assistance and advice about my remaining time in Fukuoka.An excellent experience, I highly recommend.
