Wonderful time in Nagasaki - When I arrived in town, I wasn’t convinced with Nagasaki’s food compared to other cities I’ve been to in Japan, but meeting up with Armand and having him share some of his favourite places was a game changer. I tried some very good food while learning about the city, and had some really nice chats with a very knowledgeable person. I had a wonderful experience!

History and food go well together. - To really enjoy the local dishes you need to do so with someone who not only speaks the language but knows where the best spots are located. Armand was very accommodating to ensure we were within our comfort zone with adventurous dishes and completely unknown types of fish and condiments. We could never have done the Nagasaki food scene by ourselves and as an added bonus Armand give us a great history lesson and tour of the interesting historical part of the city. Well worth the time and money :)

Fantastic day! - Shin gave me a terrific tour of Nagasaki food and culture! We ate delicious food, including very fresh sushi and a local treat of ice cream hand carved in the shape of a rose. Shin knows the out of the way places, giving me a unique view of this beautiful city. Shin was a pleasure to spend the day with, and was generous with sharing information about the Nagasaki culture. Highly recommend!

Great food + walking tour - We had a great tour with Miki who was able to acomodate meeting us at the cruise terminal. Miki reached out in advance to make sure we knew where to meet and communication was seamless. We were able to try a few different local foods followed by a sushi lunch and dessert spot. We were also able to pass by a few sightseeing spots, which we visited once the tour was over.

Favorite tour guide during 2 weeks in Japan - We had a fantastic experience using City Unscripted in Nagasaki with guide Armand. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and tailored the tour to fit our interests. Armand shared fascinating insights into Nagasaki’s history and culture that we would not have discovered on our own. His enthusiasm and passion for the city made the experience truly memorable. City Unscripted and Armand reached out weeks before the tour to ask about our interests and what we'd most like to see, do, eat, experience. I loved this conscientious interaction to create a dream Nagasaki day! Armand met the 4 of us at the Cruise Terminal as planned. Our lunch was one of the best we ate during our 2 weeks in Japan. It was a small restaurant off of the tourist path featuring incredible Wagyu teppanyaki. While every moment was filled with new experiences, the other tour highlight was having tea in a Buddhist temple prepared by the tea master monk! I highly recommend this tour and suggest that you request Armand!

Nagasaki walking food tour with Shin - Shin picked us up just outside the Cruise Terminal. He took us on a walkabout in Nagasaki city. We get to taste the Chinese food (different kinds of noodles and black pork dishes). We also got to try Japanese Manju, fresh sashimi, and local beer. At the end of the tour, we asked him to drop us off at a shopping mall and he did so with the instructions of how to get back to the Cruise Terminal. Thanks, Shin for giving us such a memorable tour of Nagasaki. Kham September 2024

Great food in Nagasaki - Armand was waiting for us when we came off our cruise ship. We had communicated by email after booking about what foods we wanted to try during the walking tour so the tour was arranged accordingly. He took us to have wagyu, sashimi, Castella cake, and sake tasting! Needless to say, everything was delicious! Armand actually went an hour over in order to get everything in. He is very professional and really tries to make sure you get the most out of your time.
