A true local experience in Osaka - I had such a wonderful time exploring Osaka with Fumiko! From the beginning, she was warm, friendly, and incredibly thoughtful in planning a tour that matched exactly what I was looking for. She guided me through charming neighborhoods, local markets, and hidden gems that I never would have discovered on my own. Her deep knowledge of the city, culture, and everyday life in Osaka added so much meaning to everything we saw. I especially appreciated how flexible the tour was—we could take our time and truly enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. If you're looking for a tour that’s personal, authentic, and full of heart, I recommend this.

Perfect all day your! - It was a full day and we lucked out with great weather. In the 70°s, so perfect for lots of walking. We hit all the key sites and Fumi took us to a favorite restaurant to experience the delicious okonomiyaki dish. Took all public transportation and Fumi made it a very smooth tour.

Inside view of dotonbori. - Maria clearly loves Osaka and it shows. We had just visited Dotonbori the day before but were disappointed with what we found. Maria took us there and showed us some great spots and shared some good history.

A fairly interesting day. - The tour guide was a lovely, helpful, patient person and aimed to please, wherever she could.. And it was a fairly interesting day. However, for what we paid for our experience, we expected more variety, especially cultural and perhaps a longer time frame,,since, in the interest questionnaire I completed, I'm sure I specified what we were interested in.
