Great guide
Very flexible experience and made for a pleasant afternoon. Kieran was our guide and he was excellent. Very knowledgeable am great personality. I need to be picked up at an alternative location and left a message - he responded very quickly and was able to make the accommodation. We ended the tour a bit early and he walked us into the train station making sure we were taking the correct train. Great day in all.

From the South Australian Aussies
We had a fantastic day and our guide Ishmael was the best. He was informative, extremely friendly, no question was too hard, he was attentive and we really enjoyed our day with him. He made sure we had enough time and information to fully appreciate everything we saw and he took a group photo at each significant destination which we thoughtwas above and beyond. Thanks Ishmael.

Gino was an excellent guide
Gino was an excellent guide. Great communication. He told us interesting Japanese history related to the Osaka Castle; among all the tours we took in two weeks in Japan, Gino taught us the most. He was willing to adapt the tour to our interests and was very flexible. It was clear that he was trying to do a good job to ensure that my group was pleased with our day.

Wonderful Day in Osaka
Despite intense heat, Mayura Kai led us on a wonderful 8 hour tour in Osaka. We saw the sights we wanted to see (Osaka Castle, Kuromon Market, Dontonbori, etc) and took a lovely break from the heat for an indoor experience that Kai suggested (painting Daruma Dolls). Later that evening Kai guided us on a food tour that was a lot of fun.

Fun and different way to explore Osaka
We had such a fun time. Mo was very patient with us not having the best bicycle skills. He made us feel safe and took us to some excellent food spots. We took some great pictures along the way. It was a completely different and fun way to see the city of Osaka!

Authentic , home style cooking experience
The location was a little out of the way in a quiet Osaka neighborhood. Highly recommend this cooking experience hosted by yayo in her home. We learned to make several traditional Osaka dishes that were delicious. Our host was so personable, and knowledgeable. We are going home with new recipes that we will cherish for years to come.

Amazing time with Mari!!
Absolutely incredible experience last night with our guide Mari — hands down one of the best food tours I’ve ever done. The bar hopping was so thoughtfully curated and gave us the perfect mix of hidden local spots, amazing atmosphere, incredible food, and drinks we never would have found on our own. Every stop felt authentic and special, and Mari made the entire night feel effortless, fun, and personal. She was warm, knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure everyone was having an amazing time. We left full, happy, and feeling like we experienced a side of Osaka we never could have discovered ourselves. Could not recommend this tour more highly!

Great Value Private Kyoto Tour
Our guide Yoshino was excellent. We communicated quite a bit by email prior to the tour customizing our itinerary, Yoshino happily accepted a last minute change to our pick up spot. During the day he expertly guided us using trains, subways and taxis. We never waited more than 5-10 minutes.
We were on a cruise and Yoshino got us back to the ship with plenty of time.
He is a great photographer and was happy to take pictures of us at every stop.
Highly recommend Yoshino and this tour.

Pros: Very memorable and...
Pros: Very memorable and informative tour, exploring areas of Osaka influenced by yakuza. Lots of fascinating history going through the low-income areas. Some dark stuff, but the tour still felt safe because it is Japan.
Neutral: I didn't realize we were going through an active red light district at the end! For some reason I thought it was a historic former site or something. Surreal looking part of town that is technically a restaurant district.
Cons: Although the tour guide was very talkative and friendly, they also had a lot of personal opinions thrown into the tour that could rub some people the wrong way.

Amazing food tour!
This was a highlight of our trip! We were so happy to be introduced to the areas of Temma and Kyobashi. Loved the vibe and the food. Tommy was our guide and he put together an amazing selection of locations with excellent atmosphere and food. The walk in between was part of the fun, we had great conversation and learned a bit about the customs and culture of the area. Recommended for sure.

Great experience
Great Service and appreciate the patience while we finalized the check-out process at our hotel. Driver arrived ~10 minutes early for our 2pm pick up. Checking out at the hotel, took longer than expected but driver was patient and accommodated us. Van (Nissan) was spacious and clean. Plenty of room for 4 people with 9 total bags. Highly recommended!

Great guide, great experience.
It was fast paced, but allowed us to see a lot. Saw several shrines, temples, Osaka Castle, and shopping/local areas. The Guide, Yama, explained everything we encountered and experienced very thoroughly. He spoke very good English and added a bit of humor that made it educational and fun!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Most tours in Osaka hit the city’s highlights, but for travelers who want a more tailored approach that takes their specific interests into account, then Osaka private sightseeing tours are definitely the way to go. Set the pace as you explore the city, and spend more time in museums, at markets, or around areas that really interest you. Private sightseeing tours in Osaka are the next best thing to having a local friend show you around the city.
