Yuki was the most amazing...

irma_g, Jun 2025
Yuko was the most amazing tour guide we have ever had. She took us all around the city and taught us a lot. She was one of the sweetest people we have met and truly made a big impact on us. We loved her so much and would love to keep in touch. We would 100% recommend her tour.

Fascinating Nagasaki Tour

Tour guide was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. My suggestion is Viator consider investing in "whispers" which make it far easier for a group to hear the guide. That suggestion is not a criticism of our guide.

Response from Host, Apr 2023
