Guided Tour of Nagoya by Car

On our recent trip to Japan, my wife and I booked a Toyota museum tour in Nagoya through GoWithGuide. We took the Shinkansen from Tokyo early in the morning and were met at the station by not only our guide, Tomoko, but also her husband, Serge, who had just finished another tour. From the start, it felt less like a guided tour and more like spending the day with friends. Both Tomoko and Serge were welcoming, personable, and eager to share information about the area as we traveled. When we arrived at the museums, they handled the tickets and accompanied us throughout the visit. As a car enthusiast, I especially appreciated Serge's passion and knowledge. The first museum focused on the history of Toyota, the Toyoda family, and the company's remarkable journey from its beginnings to becoming the world's largest automobile manufacturer. Learning about their challenges, innovations, and forward-thinking approach was fascinating. The second museum featured an incredible collection of automobiles, and Serge and I could have talked about cars all day. Meanwhile, Tomoko and my wife enjoyed their own conversations, making the experience enjoyable for everyone. We truly can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this tour. Tomoko and Serge are knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely wonderful people. If you're visiting Nagoya, we highly recommend booking a tour with them. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan.

What a day! Tomoko picked us up from our hotel and then took us on a day's adventure of her home city. Her knowledge was in depth, she had water and snacks on the go and made us feel very comfortable. We were given a tour of the palace and gardens and she even took me to get my glasses fixed which broke whilst in Japan. My husband especially loved the Toyota Museum tour. Tomoko was an absolute gem and this day was worth every dollar.

Great day with Serge our travel guide. He knows the city well and shared lots of information. Engaging conversations and laughter throughout the day! Highly recommend this tour with Serge.

We went on a one day guided tour of Nagoya with Serge and had the most wonderful time. He is a delightful and entertaining guide; it’s was like having a knowledgeable family member as a guide. Not only did he do a great job driving us around, he took us to several sites that were off the beaten path that turned out to be amazing. We also had a great lunch. We really weren’t even looking forward to the tour since we were tired just having flown into Japan but are really glad we did. Serge has a lot of energy and he passes that on to you. We were planning on driving ourselves in a different location later in our trip and he pointed out what to watch for when driving and gave us great ideas on where to go as we continued our travels. Book a tour with Serge; you will be very happy you did!

We were in Nagoya for the F1 race and wanted to see some of the city as well. This tour with Serge was a perfect choice for our family as he took us to visit the beautiful Nagoya Castle, a quiet temple with Giant Buddha, a popular market area for lunch, and a relaxed traditional tea house. Throughout the tour Serge shared lots of information/stories and was always entertaining, humorous and just all around fun to spend time with. In addition he took lots of pictures for our family which he sent to us promptly afterwards. We not only had a Wonderful day out but truly felt like we made a new friend as well! Highly highly recommend spending a day with Serge in Nagoya.
