My reviews

Eli was awesome. She helped us understand Japanese culture and practices and let us enjoy the day at our pace and in the manner in which we wanted. She also helped us find good vegetarian food

Eli made the tour fun and personal giving multiple suggestions of her favorite places and showing us both the bright lights and hidden gems of Fukuoka. She made an in depth schedule and was able to change it on the fly depending on our interests. My wife and I laughed constantly throughout the tour with Eli which made the experience completely worth it. Felt like hanging with a friend.

Eli was friendly and genuine. She showed us great spots so we got the flavor of Fukuoka. She tailored the itinerary very well to our tastes and abilities. She showed flexibility to make revisions as needed. We ate at a local fish market restaurant, ate delicious pastries, saw shrines and learned their history, learned about local customs and ceremonies and wandered through all sorts of shopping areas. Highly recommend this tour especially if your time is limited in Fukuoka.

Our Private Tour with Eli was excellent. From the moment we met in our hotel lobby she made us feel comfortable and confident we would have a wonderful experience. We had a mostly walking tour and visited several historic sites, local shopping areas and beautiful landscaped parks in Fukuoka.
