Being a first time traveler in Nagasaki was different. Mohamed showed me how to use the Tran and navigate how one can ride on them. He was knowledgeable of the history of Nagasaki and engaged in fruitful conversations with my son. He also helped us enjoy a sea food local lunch at a local restaurant where he helped me choose the menu which was in Japanese.
We truly appreciate your thoughtful review. It is wonderful to hear that Mohamed helped make your first visit to Nagasaki smooth and enjoyable, from using the tram to learning about the city’s history. We are also glad he could help with the Japanese menu so you could enjoy a local seafood lunch. Nagasaki Private Tours
Mohammed was a wonderful guide - very well spoken and easy to understand - he provided great insight and took us easily to Atomic Bomb Museum, Peace Park, walking through historic bridges over the canal, then to Chinatown for an amazing feast and finally to Clover Gardens to appreciate scenic views as well as history and mammoth koi fish! Highly recommend.

We had an absolutely wonderful day exploring Nagasaki with our guide, Yudi. From the moment we met her, she was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. She brought the history of Nagasaki to life with thoughtful explanations and stories that gave us a much deeper appreciation for the city, its people, and its resilience. The tour was perfectly paced, well organized, and tailored to our interests. Yudi was attentive, answered all of our questions, and made us feel like we were spending the day with a friend rather than simply following a guide. If you’re visiting Nagasaki, we highly recommend requesting Yudi. She turned what would have been a sightseeing tour into one of the most meaningful experiences of our trip to Japan. Thank you for an unforgettable day!

As we explored Nagasaki, our amazing guides, Yuri and Karen, brought the city's past to life by generously sharing their own family’s history regarding the atomic bomb. Hearing these deeply personal, firsthand accounts completely transformed our sightseeing into an unforgettable connection to the culture, making this an extraordinary, deeply moving experience that we will cherish forever. The exceptional service actually began days before our arrival when the manager, Hiro, reached out to ensure we knew exactly what to expect. We are incredibly grateful to Hiro, Yuri, and Karen for their hospitality and meaningful storytelling, and this team is a must book for anyone visiting Japan.

Michie was amazing on our day in Nagasaki. It was hot and we walked a ton of steps (uphill) and her patience was incredible. We started at Inasuyama Observation Deck to see the city and harbor. Gorgeous views. Visited the Peace Park (large), the Hypocenter (somber) and the Atomic Bomb Museum. The Museum was very crowded, but Michie had much patience as we wanted to read and learn. We never felt rushed. Next stop was the Dejima Wharf, we stopped for a bite to eat (local fare) and then walked to mall. You could see the ship from this side of the wharf. Next stop was Glover Garden...after a few enormous escalators and many many steps we reached the magnificent gardens and walked around. Lots of shopping and restaurants and on the way. Easy walk from this point back to the ship. Amazing day filled with learning, history, exploration, tram rides, food, and beautiful sites. Highly suggest this private tour.
Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed review of your day in Nagasaki. We are very happy to hear that Michie helped make the day comfortable, meaningful, and unhurried, especially with the heat and all those uphill steps. Nagasaki has so many different sides, from the views at Mt. Inasa to the important history at Peace Park, the Hypocenter, and the Atomic Bomb Museum, so it is wonderful to know you had time to take everything in at your own pace. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation. It was our pleasure to be part of your visit, and we hope your memories of Nagasaki stay with you for a long time. Nagasaki Private Tours

Spent a wonderful day in Nagasaki with Yuri Yamada. After meeting us at the point we got off our cruise ship, she took us to multiple locations that needed to be seen. We started with the spectacular view of Nagasaki, from the Observation Tower, then to the Peace Park, Hypocenter, and the Atomic Bomb museum. We also saw the Spectacle Bridge, the Glover Garden and the Aura Cathedral. Yuri is a very knowledgeable, kind and friendly guide. She also demonstrated her skill at making the most use of the limited time we had. Thanks for a great experience in Nagasaki, Yuri.
