Traveller reviews
Asako was our guide. Her english was excellent We had a wonderful day. Seeing all the sites and tailoring our experiences to our every request. She planned the day so we could visit at least crowded times. We would have never been able to experience all we did in a larger group. It was well worth the cost.
I had a tour with Akino in Nagasaki, she was a nice guide and really took her time. She spoke Englisch very well and could tell us more about the locations. We had a nice day, thankyou Akino!
Had a wonderful experience today in Nagasaki with our guide Karen. She was so kind showing us all of the amazing things Nagasaki had to offer. We managed to see all of the included sights as anticipated. The Atomic Bomb museum is certainly a must while visiting Nagasaki, and the incredible views from the ropeway and Mt. Inasa are not to be missed. Thank you again Karen for sharing your fantastic country, and culture with us.
Lovely lovely day with Hiromi Omaru. Pre cruise contact was great. Picked us up at the port and made sure we were back in plenty of time. Her English is great and we ended the day as friends. No hesitation in recommending
Hiro and Vichka provided a private, customized, English speaking tour of the highlights of Nagasaki. It was fantastic!!! From pickup to each of these points of interest: The Peace Park, the Hypocenter Park, the Atomic Bomb Museum, the beautiful and breathtaking views from the Mt. Inasa Observatory, the Megane Bridge and the Oura Cathedral with a bit of shopping at the end of the tour was all that we could have asked for in a four hour tour.
Adrianne made this tour experience exceptional. We very much enjoyed all the information that she passed along. She was not only informative but also made the learning enjoyable. She was happy to accommodate our pace and take us to some places that were special requests. The car was comfortable and Adrienne was professional throughout the entire day. This was absolutely a 5 star experience and earned an exceptional rating.
I had chosen to book an excursion to Huis Ten Bosch Theme Park in Nagasaki with a large cruise line, and that excursion was canceled without notice at the last moment. My heart was set on visiting the Theme Park, and so I immediately began researching companies with which I could arrange a private tour. From the very start, my communications with Nagasaki Private Tours were thoroughly-detailed, professional & prompt. All of my (many!) questions were answered, and I was shocked to find out that I had actually been communicating with the CEO of the company, Hiro! I completed my tour today & my assigned guide, Hiromi, was excellent! She was friendly, professional & allowed me to explore the park at my own pace, so that I could engage in extensive photography, which is my passion. Both Hiro & Hiromi also worked hard to allow me to attempt a last-minute change to my itinerary. I cannot recommend Nagasaki Private Tours, Hiro & Hiromi highly enough!
We enjoyed our tour of Nagasaki with our guide, Adrianne. She met us early at the Sasebo port and drove us to Nagasaki where she started the tour at the Peace Park. She was friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and interesting. She provided the right amount of information for us, showing us things we would never have noticed if on our own. She showed us all the highlights of the city at a comfortable, relaxed pace. She fit in everything we wanted to see before returning us to our ship in plenty of time before we set sail. Highly recommend this tour. It was a great way to spend our time while docked in Sasebo!
