We went on two different City Unscripted tours in Nagasaki. Both tours were terrific and the guides fantastic (Sho and Armand). Saw areas and ate in restaurants that we would never have found on our own. Well worth the cost!

Armand was such an engaging and interesting guide and was committed to making our experience a great one. He was able to quickly pivot to a new plan when a restaurant was unexpectedly closed. He's so knowledgeable about the city and about the food scene and we went to places that we'd never have found on our own!
