Nagasaki Tour Reviews
Jessica N.
“Amazing Day with Mark and Family”
We had an amazing day in Nagasaki with Mark and family. Mark made it work seamlessly for our family of 6. It was so convenient for us and we all learned a lot. We enjoyed a fun lunch together where we learned how to eat at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. This was followed by a visit to a beautiful beach. We were also gifted a delicious local cake. Mark was flexible and responsive. I would highly recommend his tour.

“Great overview of Nagasaki ”
Mark is easy to chat to and our tour went amazingly quickly. Mark is just starting out as a tour guide and is open to what interests you, as well as showing the most significant places in his adopted home. I can recommend a day out with Mark.

Thank you Lydia for your kind review of your visit. I hope the rest of your tour went well.

“Mark is a beautiful human and a memorable guide”
Mark is Wisconsin born and has been a professor in Nagasaki since 1982. Having a chance to have someone like Mark personally take you through Nagasaki is a huge opportunity. He not only shows you the many important sites and gives you the back story on the history he is flexible to tailor his guiding to meet your interest and needs. This is no canned tour. It is custom made by you. And did I mention he knows the best places to eat and helps to translate the menu and guide your ordering. So fun. So recommended.
Mark T.
Martin, thank you for your kind review. You and your pair were pleasant and interested guests. It was useful to know that you had been to a lot of other places before Nagasaki and were a little worn out. Knowing that I kept the pace down, but we were still able to see most of the major sights. Hope that the rest of your trip went well.
