“Best tour guide we had ever encounter”
Chiyako is on time. Her English is excellent with no accent. She is very knowledgeable of all the places we visited. We all had a great time and learned a lot about the culture and history of Fukuoka and Kyushu. I highly recommend her as a guide. Thank you Chiyako for a really nice day here in Fuluoka.
