“4 days trip with seniors”
Katsu-San was an excellent guide. We had day trips to Saga Prefecture and Mt. Aso. He is an excellent driver. He really accommodated all our requests given that my parents have mobility issues.

Katsu was the perfect guide for this group. He was efficient and knowledgeable and gave them a very thorough tour. He was easy to communicate with prior to the tour. I will definitely keep his information on file, should I have future clients traveling to Nagasaki. Kathy Price, President of Old World Travel.

Thank you very much for your kind words, Kathy. I’m honored that the tour left a positive impression. I did my best to make the experience as meaningful and comfortable as possible for Vivian’s group. I also offer tours in places like Fukuoka (especially during the sumo tournament), Mount Aso (volcanic landscapes), and Takachiho Gorge (mystical nature), among others.
