Nagoya Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“SERGE-Japan Korenkei Gorge - Knowledgeable, fun, safe and willing.”

My wife and I booked Serge several months before our tour 20th November 2025.We weren't nervous about it as he kept in contact with us before our tour. Japan is a pretty well regulated country and the only thing we had to worry about was the presence of Autumn colour in the area. We needn't have worried, Serge made some sort of sacrifice to the spirit world and it was nothing short of amazing. However, Serge made it Super-Amazing. He is very knowledgeable about his home town area of Nagoya/Toyota. He has a sense of fun and was chatty all the way through our experience. He is a very safe driver. He had snacks and drinks for us when he picked us up in a very spacious car. He speaks fluent English and Japanese and was able to charm his way into a parking space almost on top of the gorge despite the crowded roads and obvious lack of parking facilities. Later in the afternoon he took us to a temple famous for cherry blossom and Autumn maple leaf colour AT THE SAME TIME It's true, I tell yuh! He introduced us to the priest too. We got the full treatment from Serge. We had his undivided attention for the full time in the contact and a little bit more on top too. He has been doing this for a while now and is a very competent guide. Right at the start I explained about a health issue I have. He checked on me regularly but without being intrusive and gave me his contact details in case I needed any help later on in our holiday. Oh yeah, he is a bit of a photographer too. He will show you some neat techniques and take loads of photos of you, for you. A grand day out. If you're in the area look him up. In case you didn't realise, we thought he was prett-darn good.

You were right Bob, I just pulled out a hankey. Thank you so much for this beautiful review..and yeah it doesn't happen very often, but I'm speechless. The only times this happend was during the birth of my sons (panic attacks), when my wife said "I do" at my wedding (again panic attack) and when I was born (until the doctor smacked me on my bum.... he unknowingly unleashed an evil). You thought that on the way back we would run out of topics and drive back in silence.... never underestimate the power of the blabbing Dutchman! I also love the detail in your review, and how you remembered every tiny thing. The cherry on top was me being able to give you a hug and break through your wall of English stubbornness....you guys are great, and I'm sure that the goat is smiling from goat heaven, knowing that he/she got sacrificed for a great cause. Love Serge

“Nagoya Half Day”

Our guide,Roy was spectacular. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the local history and culture, making every stop come to life. For our first time in Nagoya he made the history so inteesting and explained everything in great detail but yet not over the top and we came away with so much information. He was very helpful answering our questions carefully. English was very good. He was patient and listened to what we wnated to do regarding food and shopping!

Edith, Thank you very much for your warm review. I also had a great time with you and your husband to walk around various destinations in Nagoya and enjoyed the inspired conversation. Have a wonderful holiday season. All the best, Roy

“Half Day tour of Nagoya”

Excellent tour guide with excellent english. She even wore a Kimono for our tour and were able to meet some of her former friends that worked at the Atsuta Jingu Shrine. Her knowledge of the area we toured was full of facts and able to share the local culture with us as well. We would highly recommend her as a tour guide and if ever we return, we would sought her services again.
