Great Experience for first timer in Japan - My tour guide, Masa, was a really great tour guide on the tour. He is very knowledgeable about the history or Osaka and the origins of how Osaka came to be and into today’s modern world. I would highly recommend Masa as your tour guide. Osaka Museum and the Osaka castle tour is a must! Learned so much on this tour.

Great fun at Osaka Castle - Michi was an excellent and knowledgeable guide, and we had great fun exploring both the Osaka Museum of History and Osaka Castle. Overall, it was a great experience and tour. I was so happy I took the tour even after getting lost on the Osaka subway. I will definitely recommend Michi to anyone else who visits Osaka and wishes to see Osaka Castle.

Osaka castle is a must see - Our guide Kate was really nice. She was very knowledgeable about Osaka castle. It was a very hot day so she assisted us with where to buy tickets and how to see museum best way possible. She also assisted us with transfer information to help us get back to our hotel. She was very helpful.

Thank you so much, Kei! - Kei, our tour guide, was super caring and shared a lot of historical background of the two places we visited. He went out of his way to give us the best experience possible. The tour was supposed to end at 1:30 but in the end the tour ended at about 2:30 which allowed us to get the most for our buck. He was very friendly and sincere. We were able to learned a lot about Osaka/Japan and him as a person! 10/10 highly recommend:)

Great Guide - My tour guide was Ma-chan, who did an excellent job. The museum inside Osaka Castle is not great when it comes to translations, often only translating the name of the item but not the story. She did a great job translating, explaining and expanding upon what both museums and the castle had to offer. The tour was a little expensive for what it was, which is a shame. Ma-Chan did an excellent job and deserves full recognition for it.
