Bruce H. was a great guide for a newcomer to Fukuoka. Best tempura I had during my whole trip! Bruce was interested in explaining life in Japan and answering every little question. Walking the streets of the city was fun with someone so knowledgeable. His tour made for a really nice afternoon.

This tour was absolutely wonderful because of our particular guide, Sae. She developed a great spirit amongst the participants and educated us all in a gentle manner. We had a terrific time.

Outstanding and memorable food experience. One, Bruce knows his stuff, and Hakata knows him. You should see 'em jump to attention at the Ritz when he comes in. Second, he's responsive to what the client wants but third, most important, he's got a plan B for force majeure situations. We had a great walk and enjoyed a lunch of o-den and fresh tofu prepared various ways, al fresco on the lake, authentic and all local. An experience I couldn't have had on my own. Travel is too valuable to waste putzing around, get someone who knows the territory like Bruce to take you straight to the good stuff.

Emma was amazing. Very knowledgeable about the history of the area, as well as Japanese literature and culture. It was a delight to walk Gion and see Geisha, Maiko, and the beautiful and historic buildings. We ended the evening with an exceptional meal at a local Kaiseki restaurant, where the service can only be described as fantastic. The food was well presented and flavorful, and Emma ensured communicated with the staff at each course and explained what we were eating, as well as how to traditionally enjoy it. The other members of our tour all found Emma to be knowledgeable, affable, and an excellent guide. Enjoy this tour, and ask for Emma!

One of the things on my Japan bucklist was to learn more about Japanese geisha so I booked this tour in the main geisha district - I thought it would be about right. On the tour we saw 3 Maiko and it was amazing! Our guide, Lauren, was great and shared so much information about Japanese culture, history, and tradition. The food was awesome and it was great to interact with other people in the group. Very rewarding - I can't recommend it highly enough, thanks for the tour Lauren!

We enjoyed this tour on our magical last night in Japan, we had a really memorable time with Yoshi! She showed us the Gion area and streets across the river at sunset. We snacked our way along as we explored the quaint shops. Yoshi was a very personable guide with a warm nature. In a very approachable and inviting style, she taught us about Japanese culture and the language, we just adored her by the end of the tour! Yoshi made great selections for food as well. Really interesting tour, delicious food, overall exceptional quality. Exploring Kyoto with delicious treats was amazing! Arigatou!!!

The Kyoto Gion tour was thoroughly enjoyable. Our guides Hiroe and Agustin took us for a lovely walk around Gion and Pontocho - very pleasant and informative. We stopped en route to have sweets, but the highlight was the kaiseki dinner we ate with our guides at Yoshina. The food was served in a beautiful private room along the river - wonderful food too! Best of all was the conversations we had during the tour with like minded travelers. We were able to learn a lot about Kyoto and Japan/Japanese culture. This experience was a fantastic way to enjoy an evening in Kyoto, definitely unique!
