Excellent Tour
My husband and I had a fantastic time touring this beautiful place. Our tour guide was the best, he was knowledgeable and open to all of our inquiries. He was very easy going and allowed us time to look around, shop, and snack. We also got the chance to sit down and have lunch that he suggested and we are thankful for that. We learned a lot about Kyoto and the historical paces we got to see.

Amazing tour – The guide made all the difference!
A very interesting tour with so much to see. Our guide Ismaël was a big part of the success of this experience — he spoke good English, had great knowledge, and shared excellent advice all along the way. He was extremely friendly and took us to different parts of the town, not just the usual tourist places.
Thanks to him, we discovered the city in a much more authentic and enjoyable way. Highly recommend it!

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!

1 day visit to Osaka June 2026 - visitors from NC USA
Mayu did a great job for our 2 hour tour. She met up with us at our hotel at 1 pm, and we visited and took photos at Namba Yasaka Shrine, Kuromon Market (a covered indoor/outdoor market with a wonderful collection of small businesses that specialize in sushi, sea food, tokoyaki, Wagyu Beef, Mochi, sweets, and many others), photos at energetic Dotonburi and the 2 bridges, photos near the Glico man sign, photos outside Don Quijote, Hozenji temple, and photos at quiet Hozenji Yokocho Alley. Mayu completed the tour by walking us back to our hotel. After the fantastic tour with Mayu we went to quiet Hozenji Yokocho Alley at 5 pm and ate incredible Wagyu at Kitashinchi Harami Hozenji. The restaurant was fully booked the entire evening, but they kindly offered us a table if we could finish our meal before 6:50. It was the best Wagyu meal ever! We went to Dotobori, and purchased a roller suitcase at Don Quijote (needed for the souvenirs for the trip home). We rolled our newly purchased roller suitcase all over Dotonbori and experienced the neon lights and high energy at Dotonbori topped by soft served Cremia Ice cream at Excelsior Cafe (possibly the best ice cream we have ever tasted). Mayu gave a fun and highly informative tour and many useful tips that we were able to use immediately during our 1 day visit to Osaka. We highly recommend Mayu as a tour guide and highly recommend a visit to Osaka - the “food capital of Japan.”

We had a great day with...
We had a great day with Armand…he met us at the cruise port on foot and off we went. There is a lot of walking on this tour, it was too much for some of the people we were traveling with, however, my husband and I enjoyed all the sites and felt we received a great overview of Osaka.
Armand helped us navigate the subway system and made sure we were on the correct train to return us to the port. Great day!

Good 4 hours tour, I highly recommed it
Great tour if you want to see some iconic Osaka sports in 4 hours. I took a private tour. Ichiro was an excellent guide, well informed about every place we visit. We visit the Osaka Castle exterior, an some of the most touristic streets in the city centre. We walk and we use the subway. The tour is good because you dont waste time in shops like in other tours, and you can enjoy places walking around with some interesting historic context.

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.

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 experience, a lot of interesting and unique information about osaka and japan. You get to see some "touristy" areas but then also see some areas you absolutely would not on other tours. Dinner is at end for anyone booking the with dinner option and was delicious.

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!

Excellent tour and tour guide
My husband and I very much enjoyed this tour with Haru our tour guide. He met us on time at our hotel and guided us to the four sites that we had pre-arranged with him to see. His knowledge of Japanese history and culture is excellent and he came prepared with additional visual guides to show us as he carefully explained the significance of each site. My husband and I would highly recommend this tour and Haru.

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.
