Top Osaka Bus Tours

Sachiko was a fantastic guide! She was great with our kids and customized the tour as we went along based on our interests. She even helped set us up at a restaurant for lunch with local friends! She made getting around the city a breeze - we could never have moved so quickly through the many subway stops without her.

We visited two very different areas of Osaka with some food stops we would have picked out on our own. Along the way Michi gave us interesting information about the history of Osaka, in addition to Osaka’s food history. Very enjoyable and tasty afternoon.

This is an excellent tour of Osaka visiting most of the main sights. Our tpur guide, Kevin, has an amazing knowledge of Osaka and Japanese history and culture. Small group - 4 of us which was brilliant as we got to ask a lot of questions, There is a quite a bit of walking and using the subway (Kevin will help you purchase a subway ticket - not included in the cost), but so easy to get around with an expert! Finished in Dotonbori - just amazing. Thoroughly recommend.

For those interested in the history of Buddhism in Japan this is a must do. Our guide Hiro is very knowledgeable and accommodating. If starting in Osaka you should be prepared to travel 2.5 hours each way and be fit enough to walk up stairs and hills. We highly recommend this tour.

Had a great time with Erik our guide. My husband and I are older but love to bike, we requested e-bikes (because we weren’t sure about the terrain) and the tour was a breeze! We tried great food and had a relaxed day cycling thru Osaka!! He showed us hidden gems throughout the tour! Would definitively recommend this experience.

Was an awesome bar crawl. We had about 10 total people show up which was perfect and the vibe at each place we went to was great! Highly recommend doing it. The two host Tony and B were awesome as well really showed us all a good time and overall super cool dudes.

Highly recommend this tour - it was well organized and my tour guide is considerate and love sharing all things Japanese with me. I have learned a lot and it’s a a good experience getting to talk to a local through this opportunity. I really wouldn’t have gathered this much information if I go myself

This was a fantastic tour! Hugo took us to three excellent choice restaurants. Even better, the places we went to and the food dishes he chose and ordered for us were so varied and so interesting that I think over two thirds of the many things we tried were completely new to me and I consider myself well travelled. There were lots of culinary surprises, giving many a raised eyebrow, but as is needed in these food tours, it is best to just get on with tasting and eating, which we all did, and there were just empty plates left at each stop. The dishes were not something I would know to order from a menu or would even have thought to have as either a main course or an appetiser so to get to try so many things in one meal tour was amazing. Hugo was probably the best host and guide that we have had out of our many food tours: informative, friendly, engaging, welcoming and entertaining. Even though two groups had to be combined on the day due to illness of another guide, he handled the ten of us very well. (Of note, Qudos to the tour company who emailed us to apologise for having to have a larger group than the maximum 6 as promised, but also offered full refunds if desired, available up to one hour before the tour start. No one took that option it seems and they were right not to. The group size was fine and we all had a treat.) Lastly - the Wagyu beef optional upgrade, available at the time of buying the tour, was well worth it for us. We were the only two on the tour who did this and I suspect others regretted not buying it. It isn’t cheap, but Wagyu beef isn’t, and the 100g portion size gave each of us 8 large mouth sized chunks to savour. There was more than enough food to eat in the basic tour without the additional Wagyu, but we pre-ordered it because we knew we would be unlikely to go to a steakhouse and have a Wagyu meal another time. The Wagyu steak was so delicious, tender, juicy and tasty that I would recommend it to anyone who eats meat, whether you think you like steak or not. Don’t leave Japan without trying it (and this is a great way to do that) 10/10 for this tour even though I’ve had to rate it 5/5!
