What to expect
Get a personalized introduction to Nagoya (and plenty of insider tips and tricks) from your sensei – sorry, knowledgeable local insider. Who needs a map when your host can point out each district from Japan's highest open-air observation deck, the Midland Square skyscraper?
Soak up the spirit of ancient Japan at 700-year-old Osu Kannon Temple, which happens to be right in the middle of the city's famous otaku hub - the Osu neighborhood - packed with stores selling fantastic costumes and gaming goods. And when you're comfortably seated in a backstreet izakaya, ask your host any questions you have between bites of grilled Nagoya cochin, the local specialty chicken!



Reviews
Good way to explore the city and hearing explanations about the culture. It was also great that the tour can be personalized to your liking. Shout out to my guide Shochan who was engaging. I learned a lot about Nagoya and enjoyed myself.
Once you book, the agency will send you questions on your preferences. Then we were assigned with a guide who helped me plan with what we want. For a nagoya private tour, price is really good. Our guide was perfect. We were able to plan what we wanted to go/do and we had a lot of fun. Highly recommended! Take note: this is a walking tour. Transpo and food are your own expense.
Takako-san made our day trip to Nagoya an enjoyable one. Whether is was a general request like guiding us around Nagoya castle, taking us to the Dragon's baseball stadium team shop, or a very specfic one to search for an item at a local drug store, she delivered. We learned so much about the city and the people who live there. Would definitely recommond her for anyone visiting Nagoya.
A bit underwhelming. The guide simply accompanied us to the Mirai Tower and Osu Shopping Arcade without sharing much information. I wish more interesting facts or historical context had been provided about the places we visited.
Shochan helped us know the city better. She is also nice and helpful. It is a very nice adjusted tour to fit our group. 👍
Anna was a great guide. she taught me the proper way to show respect in a shrine, gave me a brief understanding of the history of Nagoya Castle. When i said i want to try the Nagoya red bean paste toast, she was v willing to bring me even though it was not part of the itinerary. Her English is great and no communication breakdown throughout the tour. i enjoyed it.
Anaa is a friendly and warm-hearted guide. She explained Nagoya Castle in&out detail and even though there were some unexpected situations along the way, we managed to solve them well. It was a short but enjoyable tour.
Atsumi, out tour guide was very proficient in the English language and accommodated out requests for stops for photos. she took very nice photos for my group of three
Saki was so friendly and knowledgeable about her city Nagoya. I had a great shopping experience at the Osu market and saw some beautiful views of the tower and station at sunset.
Gold is an excellent tour guide. Very accommodating, friendly and helpful and answered all my queries about Nagoya with a smile.
