Shannon is an incredible tour guide. But more importantly, he put together an amazing tour. We took two locals from Nagasaki and they both said they had never heard, nor been to, many of the things we visited. Shannon is a pro and he is extremely knowledgeable about the Japanese culture, the food, the language, and the history, and the architecture. There was some really fun parts, sad parts, thought provoking parts, and even some spiritual aspects. If you book a tour with Shannon everyone in your group is going to feel like they had their needs met. There is something for everyone. Also, Shannon will 100% go the extra mile and spend way more time with you than the tour requiresif your group needs it.
