We had an outstanding experience with our guide Pene in Nagasaki —easily the best guide we had during our trip to Japan. He was incredibly organized, personable, and had a good sense of humor that made the day both informative and fun. His daughter Ester assisted and took over for the last hour or so. Our group was about 12 people, which can be tricky to manage, but Pene and Ester handled everything seamlessly. Instead of taking the tram, he arranged taxis for us so we could get around efficiently and make the most of our time. Thanks to his planning, we were able to see a lot without ever feeling rushed. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hiroshima!

We met our guides at the cruise terminal & started out on a wonderfully fulfilling adventure. Having a teacher as a guide made each stop on our itinerary more informative, learning a great deal of background history and culture. At the Nagasaki museum, Pene & Esther gave us background information but waited for us outside because they wanted us to experience the exhibits on our own without their influence or commentary. They were so organized and efficient. We were able to get the most out of each stop. On Pene's suggestion, we were able to try "Nagasaki noodles" for lunch. They were delicious! The Pirates hat was a nice touch. Thank you both for an exceptional day! If you want a great tour in Nagasaki, you must ask for Pene and Esther.

Very well organised tour. One of the best tours we have experienced recently. Directions to the meeting point was very well explained in advance with pictures etc and we had no problem in finding the two friendly guides at the cruise terminal. The itinerary was also well designed and we were given sufficient free time at each stop to explore and learn about the places we visited and to take pictures etc. Both Penn and Esther are knowledgeable and we learnt a lot from them. The price they charged for the tour was very reasonable. We recommend this tour to anyone and we give them 5 stars!
