Favorite tour guide during 2 weeks in Japan

Published on Nov, 2024

We had a fantastic experience using City Unscripted in Nagasaki with guide Armand. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and tailored the tour to fit our interests. Armand shared fascinating insights into Nagasaki’s history and culture that we would not have discovered on our own. His enthusiasm and passion for the city made the experience truly memorable. City Unscripted and Armand reached out weeks before the tour to ask about our interests and what we'd most like to see, do, eat, experience. I loved this conscientious interaction to create a dream Nagasaki day! Armand met the 4 of us at the Cruise Terminal as planned. Our lunch was one of the best we ate during our 2 weeks in Japan. It was a small restaurant off of the tourist path featuring incredible Wagyu teppanyaki. While every moment was filled with new experiences, the other tour highlight was having tea in a Buddhist temple prepared by the tea master monk! I highly recommend this tour and suggest that you request Armand!

Nagasaki walking food tour with Shin

Published on Sep, 2024

Shin picked us up just outside the Cruise Terminal. He took us on a walkabout in Nagasaki city. We get to taste the Chinese food (different kinds of noodles and black pork dishes). We also got to try Japanese Manju, fresh sashimi, and local beer. At the end of the tour, we asked him to drop us off at a shopping mall and he did so with the instructions of how to get back to the Cruise Terminal. Thanks, Shin for giving us such a memorable tour of Nagasaki. Kham September 2024

Great food in Nagasaki

Published on Jun, 2024

Armand was waiting for us when we came off our cruise ship. We had communicated by email after booking about what foods we wanted to try during the walking tour so the tour was arranged accordingly. He took us to have wagyu, sashimi, Castella cake, and sake tasting! Needless to say, everything was delicious! Armand actually went an hour over in order to get everything in. He is very professional and really tries to make sure you get the most out of your time.

Excellent afternoon - great for kids!

Published on May, 2024

Armand showed us more about his adopted hometown than we've experienced during food tours in other cities, and we learned a great deal about Nagasaki's unique history. It was our pleasure to spend the afternoon with him. He was engaging and perfectly suited to make the experience positive for our children. And, of course, the food was excellent! I very highly recommend the wagyu place he picked out. First rate! One note, so expectations are clear: plan to walk fast! It's worth it to see so much of this beautiful city.

Delicious food, great company, lovely walk

Published on Apr, 2024

We enjoyed our time with Armand as he took us to try FRESH sashimi at a lovely restaurant. Everything there was delicious. After lunch we had a pleasant walk to a temple which was very beautiful. There we enjoyed a casual tea ceremony where we met some lovely locals celebrating a 90th birthday. The grounds were calming and serene. Next we walked through the city and an arcade to best ice cream shop! All in all a great day. Thank you Armand!
