Japan Tour Reviews
Xilei D.
“Great entertainer”
Morry is a very entertaining tour guide, and he will pepper your tour with amazing up close magic tricks! My son who likes magic and is usually skeptical of most magic shows is honestly baffled by quite a few of his tricks despite having the chance to observe up close. Our tour was on a rainy day but Morry came prepared with wet weather gear for us. It was a good day out.

Masatoshi M.
I'm so glad you enjoyed Dazaifu and Yanagawa despite the rainy weather. I have over 400 magic tricks; I'll show you even more next time we have the opportunity. Please come to Fukuoka again. See you again soon

“Great service ”
Excellent service, our driver was very professional and always willing to help. He was on time and very cooperative. I recommend to use any Translator app to be able to communicate as the level of English is limited.
