Experience City Tours in Nagasaki with Withlocals

"Senyo was a phenomenal guide! He quickly designed an itinerary that was just right - focused on local history with some out of the way stops along the way. Very knowledgeable and friendly!!"

"We had the most wonderful tour of Nagasaki with Princess, who is such a knowledgeable, warm and friendly guide. In just three hours, she helped us see and understand so much more than we ever could have found on our own. We learned about the atomic bombing of 1945 — a sobering part of Nagasaki’s history — and visited the Peace Park, a beautiful and moving place dedicated to remembrance and hope. From there, we went up to the top of a tower for an incredible view of the city, 19 floors up. Princess also took us to a hidden temple and shrines tucked away at the top of the Chinese Quarter — a spot so secret that even some locals don’t know it exists! We travelled around on trams and buses (with drivers who could give Nigel Mansell a run for his money!) and enjoyed every moment. It was the perfect balance of history, local insight, and fun — and all delivered with Princess’s warm personality and passion for her city. We left with a much deeper appreciation of Nagasaki and some truly special memories. Highly recommended! 🌸 "

"We had an incredible day with Senyo! He seemed to work out what our family was interested in right away and we were able to tailor our tour on the fly to see things that made our trip more memorable. We felt really lucky to be with him and we’d recommend him to anyone. An epic day all round. "

"Senyo was a great tour guide, both considerate and informative. He kept us engaged throughout the tour. "

"With only a few hours in port, Senyo introduced us to the beauty and significance of this historic town. He shared his unique perspective of the culture, his experience as a student and teacher and, of course, a great meal. His guidance was appreciated by all three generations in our party. Thank you, Senyo for joining our family for the day! "

"My family and i found your explanation superb and you enthusiasm really good!!!!!! We all learned so much about Nagasaki. Your explanations were amazing. I also found your accent really cool, makes me really want to listen. Your engaging conversations and questions really made us feel taken care of and this made our experience that much better. We also consider you the GOAT!"

"Had a great afternoon with Senyo who gave us an insight of the city’s past and present. Senyo was knowledgeable, friendly and professional and mixed good humour with the necessary solemnity of the many troubling aspects of the history of the place. The final stop on top of Mt Inasma was a perfect end to the afternoon "

"Our experience with Senyo could not have been better. We have had many tours by locals and this was by far the best. Sanyo was extremely knowledgeable, beyond pleasant and just down right fun to be with. If you want a wonderful day without missing a site, he's the guide for you. "

"We had a wonderful experience exploring Nagasaki with Senyo as our guide! Originally from Ghana, he's been living and teaching in Nagasaki for seven years and brings a deep knowledge of the city’s history and culture. He took us through the old town, to a stunning overlook of the city, a church and temple, the Peace Park Memorial, and finally guided us to the Atomic Bomb Museum, which my husband and I explored on our own afterwards. What made the day especially enjoyable was Senyo’s combination of passion, insight, and warmth. He was extremely knowledgeable and attentive - eager before the tour and during to adjust it to our specific interests. He even taught us how to navigate the tram system, which made getting around the city much easier! This tour was both meaningful and memorable - we feel very fortunate to have had Senyo as our guide. Highly recommended!"

"Senyo was exceptional and I highly recommend! We were on a cruise and if we had not reserved this tour, we would not have seen Nagasaki well. We shared all of the sights we saw with other cruise guests and none of them saw as much as us on their large group cruise operated tours. Nagasaki is small and you can get around on the trams and see everything if you have a guide like Senyo. He was so flexible and able to customize the day as requested and on the spot if we wanted to change anything. His English was perfect and he also knows enough Japanese to work with the locals. He shared the history of everything we saw and managed time well, even with my elderly mom and autistic son who were also on the tour. "
