- The operator says it is designed for cruise guests; the listed pickups are city hotels and a custom point is allowed, so ask for the Matsugae terminal when you book.
- The car saves walking and is out of the rain, and it adds Mt. Inasa's daytime view, which is hard to fit in by tram.
- Admission to Dejima, the Atomic Bomb Museum and Glover Garden is included; 24 reviews average 5.0.
Travellers who want to avoid Nagasaki's hills and stairs, or visit on a wet day.
Lunch is not included (the tour stops for it). Oura Cathedral is a pass-by, not a visit. All of these sights except Mt. Inasa are within tram range of the pier, so you could do much of this yourself.
