Our trip to Fukuoka - The trip was completely customisable and Eli (our guide) was amazing. She put together all the things that we wanted to do while explaining the Japanese culture and art forms. It was an enriching afternoon and we enjoyed visiting temples, shrines, besides trying our hand at doll making. We also found an amazing vegetarian place to have lunch. Thank you Eli for the great experience

Great walking tour of Fukuoka with Bruce our tour guide! - Bruce was an excellent tour guide, from the moment he got in contact with us prior to our trip! Bruce was very insightful and had a great itinerary! We had lunch at a fantastic place for lunch and gave a great suggestion for dinner ( and was yummy! ) he showed us the ins and outs of riding the subway and we took a Uber too! If we’re ever back in Fukuoka in the future we’ll be sure to have Bruce be our guide again! We highly recommend Bruce!

Our tour was awesome thanks to Eli - Eli made the tour fun and personal giving multiple suggestions of her favorite places and showing us both the bright lights and hidden gems of Fukuoka. She made an in depth schedule and was able to change it on the fly depending on our interests. My wife and I laughed constantly throughout the tour with Eli which made the experience completely worth it. Felt like hanging with a friend.

Great customized tour, amazing food - Our guide, Ai, helped us even before we got to the tour! She contacted us on WhatsApp, and we were able to ask for recommendations on Onsens, restaurants, and whiskey bars in the area. We were able to customize the tour with her help, and had a great day walking around temples, shrines, and Ohori Park. Ai has amazing taste in food, and took us to an amazing spot for a Teishoku style lunch. She also suggested an amazing sushi restaurant, and made us a reservation for made us a reservation reservation for a omakase dinner! If you like food, Ai is definitely your tour guide.

Wonderful Private Tour With Eli - Our Private Tour with Eli was excellent. From the moment we met in our hotel lobby she made us feel comfortable and confident we would have a wonderful experience. We had a mostly walking tour and visited several historic sites, local shopping areas and beautiful landscaped parks in Fukuoka.

Absolutely Brilliant - This was an excellent experience. I had the great honor of being guided by Bruce who has been living in Fukuoka for more than 20 years and has made a significant impact on the modern Yatai food scene. He was very professional and fun. He explained and showed me the true essence of Fukuoka which helped me further understand its local culture. I am a big history and culture person, so I had an absolutely stellar time. Highly recommend this tour and please ask for Bruce if you are interested in the Yatai!

Ai did a good job playing things by ear - We were pretty tired of shrines and temples so requested more of a city tour. Ai was very good at showing us her city and keeping it interesting. We had a lovely sushi lunch as well as enjoying a lot of underground Fukuoka since we had a rainy day. Good tour.
