An Unforgettable Day in Nagasaki with Armando

Wow! I cannot say enough great things about Armando and our day in Nagasaki. We had a group of 11, and from the moment we booked the tour, Armando was excellent. He communicated with us for months in advance, answered all of our questions, and made planning easy and stress-free. During our tour, Armando shared his extensive knowledge of his hometown of Nagasaki and took us to places we never would have discovered on our own. We explored the historic Oura neighborhood (the former foreign settlement), Holland Slope, the former Chinese settlement, the Maruyama neighborhood, a local food market, Sofukuji Temple, Teramachi Cemetery, and the beautiful viewpoint at Kazagashira Park. What made the experience so memorable was Armando himself. He was knowledgeable, friendly, engaging, and clearly passionate about sharing the history, culture, and stories of Nagasaki. He made everyone in our group feel welcome and ensured we had an enjoyable day from start to finish. We ended the day with ice cream and sake while reflecting on everything we had seen and learned, which was the perfect way to conclude an unforgettable experience. If you are planning a trip to Nagasaki, I highly recommend Armando. He made our visit truly special, and I would not hesitate to book with him again. 10/10 recommendation!

Wow! Thank you so much! Hahaha, I loved your company so much and couldn't have imagined a nicer group of people to have spent my birthday with. Also you deserve compliments for making it to the top of the hill. I wish you all the best and I will remember you for a long time! Thanks again!

Great tour of Nagasaki

Great guys! Thank you for the wonderful day here in Nagasaki. It was a pleasure to meet you! Have a great time during the rest of your Japan trip.

Enjoyable and educational tour of Nagasaki

We had a fun day with Armando walking around Nagasaki and learning about its fascinating history. The Wagyu beef that Armando recommended and reserved for lunch was so good, I still think about it now!

Thank you so much for coming to visit Nagasaki! You were such lovely people. It was a delight to spend a day with you. And yeah, that Wagyu beef is so good, isn't it. It's on my mind too :-) I wish you both happy times for many years to come!
