What are people saying about Osaka

Riku_S, May 2026

Excellent tour!

Had a fantastic morning in Nara! Our tour guide Moe was wonderful! She was genuinely kind and made the whole experience both relaxing and engaging. Her English was excellent, so everything was easy to follow, and she explained each site clearly and brought them to life. It never felt like a dry history lecture. What really stood out was how she took the time to get to know each person in the group individually, which made the morning feel personal and welcoming. 10/10 would absolutely do it again. Highly recommend!!

Amazing tour with James...

Amazing tour with James today! He was so knowledgeable and fun and made every spot a history or language lesson in addition to giving us some delicious bites! The meeting point was a little confusing as there are about 20 tours that go from the same spot, but that was not James fault at all! He very calmly and politely gathered everyone and we had a great tour!

Osaka Street Food Tour: 17 Dishes at 4 Local Eateries

Jessica_B, May 2026

One of the best things we did in Osaka

We were so surprised at how well-planned this trip was. Meals were preselected with options for people who avoid certain foods, seats were saved for us when we got there and we got to try a pretty wide variety of food special to the region. We really loved the part of town we went through, much different from the city area we’d been in. Our guide, Niko was a young Japanese/New Zealander so it was really helpful having someone truly fluent in both languages. He was really friendly and more than happy to take our pictures as well! Great tour, one of our favorite things we did in Osaka!

Amy is amazing!!

This was a fantastic experience! It started with lots of communication from Amy on where, when and how to get to where you need to be. She put a lot of effort into coordinating everything and making sure everyone got as great of experience as possible! Going to all the sights was super fun and we knew of all the right places to be. Nara park was by far the most favourite of mine. Just watch out for some of the naughty deer, they will get you, hahahaha!

Chickako also did an excellent job ensuring we had sufficient time at each stop, allowing us to fully take in the beauty and importance of Hiroshima and Miyajima without ever feeling rushed. She was patient, organized, and always willing to answer questions and provide helpful insights along the way. Her friendly personality and professionalism made the tour especially memorable. I highly recommend Chickako to anyone looking for an engaging and well-paced tour experience in Hiroshima and Miyajima!

Hungry Osaka Street Food Tour:15 Tastings & 3 Drinks with a Local

Lbaraz, May 2026

We booked the “Hungry Osaka Street Food Tour: 15 Tastings & 3 Drinks with a Local”

We booked the “Hungry Osaka Street Food Tour: 15 Tastings & 3 Drinks with a Local” on the same day that we were flying to Osaka, thinking we would need dinner after the flight anyway. Unfortunately, our plane was delayed for several hours. I emailed Viator, and they contacted the tour manager, Andy, because we really wanted to do this tour and not lose the money. Since it was less than 24 hours before the tour, we were unable to cancel, but they were extremely accommodating and rescheduled us for the following day. We even changed our plans and moved another tour to the morning so that we could make this one. I went on this tour with my 26-year-old son, and it was very well organized. The guide was amazing, funny, and made the entire experience so enjoyable. The food was excellent, and we loved learning more about Osaka and its local culture through the tour. Out of probably 15 tours we did in Japan, this was the best one. We enjoyed it very much. Thank you! Don’t hesitate to book this tour — we absolutely loved it!

Pamela_C, Apr 2026

Wonderful guide

Our guide was wonderful. Showed us the train system - didn’t work as we still got lost but not her fault. Visited the shrines on our list and she was so informative and interestingly. It was a long tiring day but worth it and she stopped regularly for drinks and lunch. Particularly loved the wee cafe she stopped at in the afternoon for tea and cake. All costs included which was a surprise.

Osaka Sumo Experience with Live Show and Audience Challenge

Linda_J, Apr 2026

Don’t miss out on this fun way to learn about sumo wrestling.

What an awesome experience! First, we learned about sumo and its history. Then we met the two sumo wrestlers, Kai and Ryuu, who would be performing today. They demonstrated legal and illegal moves. They threw in a little comedy, which was so fun. Next, they invited the audience to participate. How funny was that! Last, they gave everyone an opportunity to have their picture taken with Kai and Ryuu. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to have fun while learning about sumo wrestling. It’s totally worth the money.
