Serge was the perfect guide for this trip! Full of jokes, fun stories, and information along the way. Gut busting laughter throughout! We cannot believe how lucky we were and would recommend Serge for this tour, or any other he’s leading. He was flexible with tailoring the tour to what we wanted to visit, picked us up right from our hotel, and came ready with drinks and snacks. After the tour, he followed up with many, many excellent photos for us to remember the trip, although I’m sure we’d remember it fondly anyway. Thank you, Serge, for the wonderful time! Kevin, Kathy, and Deb

We had an amazing day with Serge as our tour guide! He’s such a lovely guy — friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about Nagoya and the surrounding areas. Serge took us to places we would never have discovered on our own, giving us a real insight into local life and culture. His enthusiasm made the whole experience so much fun, and we came away with wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. If you’re visiting Nagoya, we can’t recommend Serge highly enough for an adventure of a lifetime!

Serge was an amazing tour guide, very fun to chat with and took me all over the place for the day. He picked me up right in front of my hotel and drove me to Korankei Gorge and Asuke Castle. But after casually chatting a bit he drove me all around Nagoya to various points of interest that I ended up enjoying even more than the main itinerary. We also ran into his lovely wife giving a different tour which was a fun time too. Serge apparently travels around to give tours in other cities too, but if you want a guide for all the great spots in Nagoya and around Aichi Prefecture in general, definitely reach out to Serge!

Highly recommend this tour, Serge was very friendly and knowledgeable as a tour guide. He took us to places we wouldn’t have found ourselves and had prepared snacks and drinks for the trip. Nagoya and Korankei valley were beautiful. Toyota museum was also interesting and my son enjoyed the stamps.

We have had my family and I an unforgettable experience meeting Nagoya with Tomoko. Tomoko picked us up from port as we arrived on a cruise ship. Her sympathy was from the moment we saw her. Full of knowledge and very friendly. Tomoko took us to very nice places and also shopping. The whole time we were with her was a nice experience and made us feel like family. Thanks Tomoko, see you next time!!

Everything about the tour was memorable. From the moment we were picked up by our tour guides Serge and his son Enzo, to the moment we were dropped back off to the cruise port. Serge provided an abundant information about Nagoya including the Japanese culture. It was enlightening and a wonderful learning experience. I highly recommend Serge’s tour guide services to everyone.

The whole journey was made more memorable with Serge as my hiking guide. From hotel to Korankei..I decided to skip Toyota Museum and trek more in Asoke. Serge made it even more enjoyable by allowing me to go to places not in the planned itinerary. It was an amazing trip and hope to do it again soon with this company.
