You can see most in Osaka in one day with Taka San’s guide ! - The tour was wonderful with a small group and Taka San was very kind to arrange the walk with easy short cuts and good recommendations on one day pass for many benefits. He offered many assistance taking family photos!

Osaka Day Out - The day walking with Taka and our group was wonderful, exactly as advertised and a great way to get a good overview of the city and the cultures. Very clear communication on meeting place and time, and small group as advertised. Be prepared to cover 15000 steps easily on this tour, but nothing at a super fast pace. If you have trouble with inclines or steps, this may be a challenge on certain parts of the tour, but Taka was wonderful in finding lifts and shortcuts where possible on the day. Lunch was fantastic, and able to be catered for GF diet restrictions, and there was no pressure to have to pay the extra admission for the places we visited if you didn't want to (eg, Osaka Castle I was able to enjoy the gardens and the outside views without having to pay extra to see the inside of the building). A number of interesting places were pointed out to us on our walk, which meant we could come back at a later time if that was of interest. Taka was also very quick to ask if things were or were not of interest to our group, to make sure our tour kept on time - the long lines at one place were passed up for another stop which was better use of our time and interest. Great tour, a good place to start an Osaka adventure.

Great overview of Osaka! - Yuka was our tour guide and she was fabulous! From the moment we booked this Walking Tour she was in touch with us to see where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see! She greeted us at the port and carefully guided us through the Metro system on to the Osaka castle. We had a wonderful day learning about Osaka, from someone who was born and raised here. Highly recommend this tour!

Not worth it, just explore on your own. - When I first booked this experience I was under the impression that all travel fare and tickets for activities would be covered in the price of the experience. I came to learn during the outing that nothing but the ramen lunch was covered and there were quite a few things to be paid for during this experience. On top of that I saw also everything this experience ended up covering the day before on my own making the whole trip unnecessary. The guide was very kind and offered to take photos for you if you wanted.
