About Tour Guide Armando V.

Hi there! I’m Armand. Living in Nagasaki since 2016. I am living a most relaxing life on my permaculture homestead in the hills of Nagasaki, where you get the best views in Japan. I love my town. As a dancer and actor I love telling stories too. And there are so many great stories to share about all the interesting people that once dwelled in this adventurous town full of historical intrigues.


Want to experience the rich Nagasaki culture? Eat the freshest fish of Japan? Make the most beautiful photos of hidden treasures and landscapes? Come and explore the town together with me.

I’ve made it my mission to get to know everything there is to know about this place.

Großartig

Schon vorab war der Kontakt mit Armando so nett, wodurch wir uns schon auf den Tag mit ihm freuten. Er holte uns wie vereinbart im Hafen ab und zeigte uns sein Nagasaki. Er erzählte uns viel über die Geschichte der Stadt und hatte auf jede Frage eine Antwort. Armando ging auf unsere Wünsche ein uns zeigte uns verborgene Stellen, abseits der Massen, uns Fotostopps, die wir alleine nie gefunden hätten. Es war eine erstklassige Tour mit ihm. Vielen Dank!!

Vielen Dank für den schönen Tag zusammen in Nagasaki! Ich habe mich sehr gefreut, euch beide kennenzulernen. Ihr wart so fit und stark, ich glaube, wir haben einen neuen Rekord an Schritten aufgestellt. :-) Ich wünsche euch alles Gute!

Nagasaki tour

He had great recommendations for local food that was greatly appreciated. It was also appreciated that he knew what was worth seeing and what could be skipped. He was also able to accommodate a somewhat short-brain plan which changed as we went. Would recommend!

Hi Dean! Thanks for visiting Nagasaki. It was great eating and drinking and talking and walking around with you. Have a great time the coming weeks in Japan!

Nagasaki Half Day

Our guide,Armando was spectacular. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the local history and culture, making every stop come to life. For our first time in Nagasaki he made the history so interesting 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 provided exactly the sites we wnated to see. He had us jumping on buses like a local and allowed me to shop! Perfect tour!
