Nagasaki Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“A Perfect Tour”

Katsu-San (Winner!) planned out tour to Shimabara and Unzen with two days notice and did extra research to ensure we had the most meaningful and personalized trip possible. He was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and went out of his way to make sure we were enjoying each part of the tour. He was also very flexible when we asked for something not on the itinerary. There is no better way to explore an unknown area of Japan. Katsu-San took care of everything so we could completely relax and enjoy our time with no stress and no complicated decision making.

“Excellent guide and knowledgeable ”

Our day tour with Armando was a magnificent experience during our stay in Nagasaki. His English was a plus when comparing with previous Japanese local guides. He was so nice and friendly that made our journey unforgettable. Thanks Armando.

Thank you dear Alfonso! My day with you guys was a magnificent experience as well. Thanks to you I've had the best rainy day of my guiding career :-) I wish you many great travels in the years to come. (And please come again!)

“One of our favourite guides we have ever had....”

We had the absolute pleasure of touring Nagasaki with Sho — or “Showtime,” as we affectionately called him — and what an unforgettable experience it was. Sho’s vibrant and positive energy was contagious from the start. He made our family feel so welcomed and cared for, with a level of attentiveness and kindness that was truly inspirational. Sho’s deep knowledge of Nagasaki was exceptional. He didn’t just guide us through the city’s highlights — he introduced us to hidden gardens and lesser-known gems that brought the city to life in such a unique and personal way. His passion for both the city and for making us feel at home was clear in everything he did. Flexible, insightful, and genuinely joyful to be around, Sho was more than just a guide — he felt like part of the family by the end. I honestly wish we could adopt him and bring him on every trip with us. If you're visiting Nagasaki, I cannot recommend Sho highly enough. He is truly a gem.
