Top Osaka Private Sightseeing Tours - page 16

Tommy was the best! Super chill guy. Catered the tour towards the group’s vibe. Perfect mix of historical information / fun facts and natural conversation. Knowledgable on everything…. Had some really insightful conversations that made me reflect. Recommend this to anyone who wants a knowledgable, interesting, and social guide. Although the tour was only four hours, I feel connected to Osaka and its culture.

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!

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.

Excellent biking tour through Osaka. The bikes were easy to use and they had multiple sizes available as well as helmets. Osaka is mostly flat so the ride was easy also. All the food was delicious and we received lots of recommendations from our guide Mako for other restaurants to eat at.

We were picked up at our hotel which was so much easier than getting other transportation. The pace was relaxing and our guide Thomas was super friendly and social able. I loved that we stopped for lunch at one his favourite places. I really liked the food more than I had been so far in Japan. We asked tons of questions and it was like connecting with a local. I would highly recommend doing this!

The tour covers all the major attractions in Kyoto and if like us if you get Kenjisan as your guide you would get to see a little more. The time given for each attraction was a bit less but we managed. Elderly tourist might struggle to keep up a bit though but Kenjisan was very considerate and even looked for places where we could rest. Kenjisan also took wonderful photos of us everywhere.

Our tour with Naka was flawless from the start when he met us at the hotel and guided us through the several modes of transport to reach Koyasan. The sheer beauty of the site was enhanced by Naka’s deep knowledge of its history and cultural significance. In addition to the highlights, Naka pointed out many small details that we would have completely missed had we done this on our own. This was a truly memorable experience.

Even before we began our tour we knew it would be an amazing tour. Our tour guide was in contact with us shortly after our booking to prepare an itinerary designed to our taste. Sachiko our tour guide was waiting for us as we disembarked our ship. She was very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and the culture and history of Japan. She is an excellent photographer and knows all the best photo sites. We stopped for lunch and she chose a restaraunt that was perfect for us. Some of the best teriyaki we tasted in Japan. Our itinerary was varied with tall buildings with breathtaking vistas and architecture to temples and last but not least Dontonbori. Dontonbori is very crowded and can be intimidating but Sachiko seamlessly walked amongst the crowds pointing out the amazing sites and took some fabulous photos. We would have never attempted this on our own. It is obvious Sachiko has a strong love for her country and that she loves sharing her knowledge. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a special memorable day. Thank you Sachiko. R & R
