Joanne G.
“Amazing tour”
Katsu was an absolute professional, very thoughtful and accommodating. My mother has accessibility needs and he made sure this was supported at all times. He even sent reading material ahead of the tour which was well received giving us further understanding of what we were going to see. Katsu went above and beyond. I would highly recommend him and his tours.
Katsu N.
Dear Joanne and your mother, I am truly honored to hear you say that. I hope that the PDF I sent you will also become a memory of the tour. I will be able to attend to various cities other than Nagasaki, so I hope to see you again. Thank you for joining my tour. Katsuhisa

“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 N.
Thank you so much, Raymund! It was my pleasure to guide you and your wonderful parents. I’m really glad we could make the trip comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. Wishing you all the best, and I hope to welcome you again in Kyushu someday!

“Excellent day in Nagasaki ”
Katsu was a wonderful guide and made us feel very welcome. He took us to a lovely restaurant and helped explain things to us. Would not hesitate to recommend Katsu!
Katsu N.
Thank you so much for the kind words, Annya. I’m very happy you enjoyed the day and felt welcome in Nagasaki. I’m also glad you liked the lunch spot—sharing local places is one of my favorite parts of guiding. And thank you as well—I was also impressed by the delicious Chateaubriand you kindly treated me to! Wishing you both a wonderful rest of your cruise, and I’d be honored to guide you again someday!
