Amazing tour - Not only was Ichiro very courteous, helpful but amazing tour guide as well. If I could, I’d give him 10 stars
Our trip to Osaka would be incomplete without having done this tour and I would recommend this for everyone.
Well, we chose a super hot day. He made sure he were indoors for the most part and got to see all the places.

Excellent trip with knowledgable and friendly local guide! - An excellent trip with Minako! We only had one day in Osaka and Minako made sure she could give us information, tips and practical advice, both for Osaka and Japan in general. We got to meet local friends of Minako who were all kind, welcoming and friendly. We recommend this tour 100% and hope to see Minako again on another tour in the future.

Great tour with... - Great tour with information on the Osaka station, then a visit to a cool area with lots of food and arcade type areas, followed by a tasty snack served inside an old VW bus at a restaurant, and ending at the Dotonburi area. Keiko was a great tour guide!

Relaxed walking tour .................. - The tour was very relaxed, easy paced, which is what you need when the weather is hot and humid. We visited 3 different areas, taking the the tube to each. Our guide was very knowledgeable and give as lots of facts and history about Osaka. We stopped for a snack to try the cuisine which was a nice break.
For me the best place was Namba, its very busy but has a great atmosphere.
We only had a group of 5 which was perfect, almost a private tour! Would recommend if you want to visit a few areas to get a good understanding of Osaka.

Great way to spend a few hours in Osaka - This was an interesting tour. We definitely saw parts of Osaka we would not have visited on our own. It gave us a completely different feel for the city than we would have taken away from the standard tourist spots. Our guide was pleasant, informative, and definitely loved her city.

Not for us, we had high hopes. - We didn’t enjoy our walk and it wasn’t what we expected. There were only 4 of us and Rika didn’t check what we might be interested in. Too long at Osaka Station, the garish Dontonburi area was plastic, the ‘tasting restaurant’ was dirty. We did enjoy walking through the old Geisha / theatre alley way and seeing the little Shinto & Buddist Temple/Shrine. Wouldn’t recommend, sorry Guide Rika.
