5.00Naoko was great to spend the day with. She was waiting for us when wee got off the ship and had all of our tickets arranged for the places we went to visit. She allowed us to spend as much or as little time at each place as we wanted and was able to give us plenty of history and background. She also helped us find a special shop we wanted to go to near the end of our day.

Nagasaki Tour Modified to Perfection

5.00Noriko is a super fun tour guide! I had injured myself the day before, and she was great at modifying the day so that I could still get the most out of a day in Nagasaki! Visited the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum and Peace Memorial. I learned how to make an origami crane! We walked across spectacle bridge, had a traditional lunch and I learned how to eat in a triangle. We hit up Starbucks (my request) , a drug store, Lawsons and City Hall where we saw some really great views. Over all a really amazing day!
