Excellent tour ! - Our tour of Osaka was absolutely fantastic, thanks to our incredible guide! We explored Osaka Castle, admired the views of the tower and the Temple and experienced the vibrant atmosphere of a local food market. The guide -Olivia-was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared so many interesting stories and facts that brought the city to life. Their passion for Osaka and attention to detail made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to discover the true spirit of the city ! 5 stars 🌟

Wonderful tour with Satsuki - We had a wonderful 6-hour tour in Osaka with our tour guide Satsuki. She planned the tour perfectly so that we could experience all the sights we wanted. So there was still enough time to enjoy the delicious cuisine of Osaka. Due to their good local knowledge we discovered places that we would hardly have found on our own. Satsuki has always followed our wishes, making it an eventful but also relaxing day. Absolutely recommendable!

A Taste of Osaka - The half-day tour was a good introduction to Osaka. Our guide, Buchi, made our experience enjoyable. He was very pleasant and patient. He always had a smile on his face! Our small group of three liked taking a lot of photos, but he had a great attitude and was very accommodating. The tour included riding the train a few times, so having the Suica card loaded on our Smart phones made it convenient. You will definitely walk a lot, so be prepared. We logged over 20,000 steps in 4 hours. If you want a “taste” of Osaka (and a good workout), I recommend this tour.

More the the perfect Osaka introduction tour - Much, much more than just the perfect tour to get acquainted with the wonderful town of Osaka and it's roots... Minori was an outstanding guide, guiding in very good and clear English, sharing her remarkable knowladge of the sites we visited and, even more importantly, putting one in the perspective of Osaka within Japan and it's history in a very flowing and interesting manner. I could not 4 hours went by when the tour was over... It felt like we just started... I highly recommend this tour for anybody visiting Japan, let alone Osaka...

Sebastiano- Great travel guide - My wife booked a half day tour of Osaka. Sebastiano was our tour guide- he was warm and friendly from beginning to end. This was our first time visiting Japan and he us around Osaka. We visited the castle, shinsekai and kuromon market. We not only got to see different tourist destinations but learned local customs and how to operate the subway. All very helpful because we do not know Japanese. Even beyond providing a wealth of information about Osaka. Sebastiano offered places elsewhere in Japan based upon our week stay here like what to see in Kyoto, Kobe and Nara. Great experience. Thank you

The venues visited on... - The venues visited on this tour were good but it was disappointing that the guide seemed focussed on just a couple of the people in the group. Shared a lot of information with them which couldn't be heard by the rest of the group - this was particularly while we were moving between locations.
