Nagasaki Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“Customized tour in Nagasaki”

Our tour with Armando was great. He was very personable and knowledgeable about the history of Nagasaki. We visited the Atomic Bomb Museum, Dejima Museum (where we saw Geisha performers) and a delicious traditional lunch.

Thank you ladies and gentleman! Spending a day with you was a real treat. I wish you a wonderful time in Korea as well.

“Excellent walking tour of Nagasaki with Armando”

We had a fantastic walking tour of Nagasaki with our guide, Armando. He was incredibly knowledgeable, full of fascinating historical facts, and explained the city’s unique role as Japan’s gateway to the world with real clarity. We learnt about the influence of the Dutch, British, and Portuguese, as well as the politics of the shoguns, all while exploring the many “firsts” that began here in Nagasaki. Armando’s passion for history and storytelling kept us engaged throughout, even as we walked over 10,000 steps up and down the hills of this remarkable city. By the end of the day our legs were tired, but our minds were buzzing with everything we had discovered. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to understand Nagasaki’s unique vibe and rich history.

“Fantastic Time in Nagasaki and Goto Islands with Hero”

Hero listened to what I wanted and always gave me several options to choose from. His responses to my endless questions were prompt and thorough. His descriptions of cultural elements of Japanese society, culture, history, economy, spirituality, customs and language were helpful and insightful. His English was excellent, outlook positive and tailored even willing to make last minute changes upon request. Also he is a good driver. Made my trip so much more fun, interesting , meaningful and memorable than I ever imagined

Hello Laura, Thank you very much for the overwhelmingly great review of my guiding and tour last 4 days in Nagasaki city and the Goto Islands. I was worried about the weather every day, but we luckily used rain gear only one day. I was surprised that you are so healthy and tough physically. Especially on the Goto tour, I was drenched in sweat every day while hiking. I was surprised at how tough you were, even though elder than me. I hope this was a good warm-up for hiking the Kumano Kodo trail. I hope to see you in the future again.
