A wonderful day in Osaka - I am travelling solo and was the only person in my group that day, so Minori, my guide, made a customised plan for me. We visited Osaka Castle and a historical museum (which was amazing). Then she helped me to get an IC pass -essential for life in Osaka - and took me to a large bookstore to purchase books I need for teaching Japanese back home. I took her to cafe afterwards to say thank you. What a lovely day! I highly recommend this tour.

I booked this tour last... - I booked this tour last minute on our arrival in Osaka and it was a fantastic way to hit the ground running. Our guide Kenji was fantastic, he not only shows us around Osaka Castle and temples but also gave us lots of hints and tips for navigating on our own. We went back next day to some of the good spots recommended by Kenji and we’re not disappointed! A great way to get out and about and adjust quickly to the Japanese way of life. I really enjoyed the experience.

The best of Osaka in half a day ! - We had a very interesting and enjoyable half day Osaka tour with Dan. He was both cheerful and very helpful as our guide for the half day tour. He even went beyond the normal tour duration to ensure that we had a good time. He helped with taking of most of the photos too. It was a different kind of walking tour as it involved getting on and off local trains. But with the Welcome SUICA card, it was an effortless task. We started off with the area of Namba and then went through the other areas like Shinsekai, Kuromon Market, Dotonbori, and visited a few renowned shrines like the Shitennoji Temple too.

Osaka Joiner day tour with Minori 5⭐️ - Minori was superb. Her ability to share her knowledge of the area in such a way to easily engage not only adults, but also my 11 year old daughter and 15 year old son made this whole experience so interactive for all. We felt completely relaxed throughout the whole tour, it felt like we were just hanging out with an old friend. That is not something you can fake; Minori is genuinely passionate about what she does. Even now as our tour has ended, I am writing this review as we finish off a meal, listening to Minori happily chatting away with my family even though her time has ended. She is worth a trillion dollars!!!

Happy experience I recommend it. - Sebastiano's guide was the best. I think they were Japanese and it was difficult to do it, but they showed me around with coordination that met my wishes. It was four hours too fast. I feel like I have made friends in Osaka. Thank you very much.
