We were met at the cruise terminal by two delightful ladies Adrianne and Akino who were to be our guides for the morning. We used the trams, an ideal mode of transport to see the sights of Nagasaki. Adrianne was very knowledgeable (Akino took the back seat this time) as she guided us to the various sights in particular those relating to the atom bomb and the devastation left behind in 1945. The ladies finally escorted us back to the cruise terminal, an hour after the tour was meant to end. We thoroughly enjoyed the morning in their company in this beautiful city of Nagasaki.

Pre-paid tram tickets, umbrellas, a smile combined with the determination to show us all that was in the tour, regardless of the weather. clearly, she is very well prepared for her tours and it showed. There were four of us in the tour and we would highly recommend Yuri.
