Fun and friendly guide with great photography skills - Tiana was a wonderful guide for our day trip from Kyoto to Osaka. It was our last day in Japan and we only had the afternoon/evening but she put together the perfect itinerary that gave us just the right mix of attractions, street food, and nightlife. She’s also a fantastic photographer!

Osaka day wasted - The Osaka castle was amazing. Beyond the castle Osaka was nothing special, just a big city to shop and eat in.

Disappointing. - My Osaka tour with Ajic was disappointing. We had pre-discussed where we wanted to tour and that we wanted learn the background history of the area we were visiting. He was a nice tour guide, and had prepared and explained history of Osaka Castle, planned out to have the lunch experience in Dotonbori as we requested. But upon asking more questions about the history of Dotonbori and other areas in Osaka, he was not able to explain. Being a non-Japanese and having lived in Osaka for 6 years, his knowledge of the city seemed cursory and his command of the English language was also lacking.
