Very helpful guide

We had a great time with Kazue-san! she was able to make immediate adjustments to impromptu changes. she also gave us great suggestions for our sudden requests. We are grateful to her for helping us make reservations for a direct bus service which was impossible to do online. Highly recommended tour guide!

Dear Jenny It is so nice of you to make such nice comments. What I did for you was a just small things. Actually I’ve been thinking that I could have done better with the tour. I will strive to be better and with more experiences, hopefully I will see you again one day. I’d also like to let you know I really enjoyed talking with every one in your group especially your mother and two more ladies.! Thank you so much again for letting me join your wonderful group!

Outstanding Professional Service

Kazue is a terrific and friendly guide, knowledgeable as she grew up a Fukuoka native. Her English is excellent due to a former international position. While she has a tour plan, we found she quickly adapts, especially as she learns your preferences. Kazue made great suggestions for spontaneous coffee or shopping stops. I feel there’s more to see in Fukuoka than fits into a four hour tour. Kazue shows you a good part of it and makes the experience memorable.

Dear, Mr. Ed Thank you so much for such nice words and giving comments promptly. Your wife and you are so wonderful that I really enjoyed spending the time together and talking with both of you. I also learn a lot from you. Thank you again and I hope you will have a great time for the rest of your trip! Warm regards, Kazue
