Shannon was absolutely perfect for us! It rained the whole day, but it was the very best tour we have ever had. Shannon had so much information about Japan and the city. He made it so easy to get out of the car, get an umbrella, walk and talk, then wait here for a few minutes for him to get the car again and hop in and off to the next attraction. We never felt rushed, but we moved along at a good pace to see so much! He was just the best and it was an excellent tour! Sorry to say this, but the fact that Shannon spoke English as his first language made all the difference. It was just so easy to hear him and understand everything he said.

We had a great day with Shannon touring Fukuoka. We enjoyed a variety of activities including Nanzoin Temple, Yusenti Park, Tea in the Tea House, a Sake Brewery for tasting and beautiful Ramen for Lunch. All with minimal walking on a very hot day. Shannon was able to drop us off at the entrance and park the car to reduce our walking which we greatly appreciated. He was very knowledgeable about Japan and great fun.

We booked a 3 day customized Private tour or Kyushu for our party of 8 friends and family with Shannon and we were not disappointed. He worked with us to put together such an awesome experience that we will never forget. We let him know what places we wanted to visit, dates of our travel, he then put an itinerary together adding so many hidden gems. We were shuttled around comfortably in a spacious van, took us to many off the beaten path locations. The local style lunches and drinks also included were so delicious. His commentary and knowledge of the areas visited made our visit made for everlasting memories. He toured us through Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Takachiho, Kurosawa, Aso, Yufin, and ended in Fukuoka.

It was easy working with Shannon especially given the time difference when setting up the tour: I live in LA; Shannon in Kyushu! Shannon picked us promptly at our hotel in downtown Fukuoka at 7:30 am to start our very full day drive and tour to Nagasaki. We hit so many places as described in his itinerary; there's some flexibility depending upon your count and schedule. There was just my son & I, so we had plenty of room in Shannon's Prius and ample time to tour all the spots. He may have other vehicle options for larger groups. My 32 year old son was initially skeptical of the tour, thinking it would be easy to just jettison to Nagasaki via train but at the end of the day and at the end of our two week stay in Japan, he found the 10+ hour tour with Shannon to be informative and relaxing. He appreciated the opportunity to visit some of the out of the way but interesting places. We had been in Osaka, Kyota, Tokyo, and Beppu by this point, so this tour gave us a different perspective and Shannon graciously shared some of his personal insights and experiences with us. Having two teenage kids in Japan will give one plenty of insight! I won't highlight all the places we went with Shannon; his itinerary is pretty detailed and you may do a different route. He does varioius Kyushu tours. We had a wonderful seaside lunch grilling our own seafood! Shannon also took some wonderful pictures (I've only uploaded a few) as well as a nice video. BTW Shannon's English is good (Australian that it is, ha ha) but his Japanese is pretty flawless as well! Thanks Shannon.
