A great day!
Excellent way to see the important locations in Kyoto and Nara. This trip allows you to see a lot in a short period of time. Pick up from your hotel and drop off is very convenient. Great value for 10 hours. Our driver was Hamza. He did a great job getting us around to the spots and picking us up. More of a driver than a guide.

Must have! Will be booking again!
Had an absolute blast with Yuhey on our full day tour around Kyoto! We did a mix of temples, Pokemon shopping and sight seeing. The tour was truly customized to our needs and wishes. My food allergies for lunch and a sweet treat were taken seriously and communicated to restaurant workers. Truly having private transportation was the reason we got to see so many spots in one day. Kyoto is very big and you can’t see it all unless you have this.

Amazing Japanese home cooking class!
Incredible opportunity to cook in an actual Japanese home kitchen and an amazing cultural experience. We learned so much about Osaka and how their food differs from other parts of Japan. Our instructor was very kind and accommodating of dietary restrictions. We had so much fun and can't wait to try making okonomiyaki at home. It was a great value for the amount of learning and food you get!

Masa was punctual and we...
Masa was punctual and we met her where she told us. She helped us get all day subway passes so we could make the most of our 4 hour tour. We answered a questionnaire in advance so we could see what we wanted in the time we had. She kept us on schedule. She answered all our questions and gave detailed information for the places we visited. She gave interesting little tidbits besides the history. She recommended places for dinner and shopping. She also gave candy prizes when we answered questions correctly. It was a fun and informative tour.

Amazing Tour
This is a perfect way to highlight areas of Osaka for your visit. Diego did an amazing job showing us and had lots of great information on the history of Osaka as we toured. It was our first day in Osaka and this was hands down the best way to learn the area so we know where we want to spend additional time. We cannot say enough great things about this tour and Diego!

Osaka highs
This tour was perfect. We covered history and current aspects of Osaka castle , the shogun, ruling dynasties and their influences on Osaka and Japan. Along with this we saw the shrines, markets, local culture, pop culture and its influence in Japan, along with many popular neighborhoods( Dotonbori,Namba, Osaka). Our guide , Ferdinand was courteous, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The time flew by!

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.

Had a great time ....
Had a great time . Experienced Japan in a way that is only possible if you’re familiar with the culture and environment. The backstreet bar experience was insightful and our guide was so fun and informative. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone that wants to explore Japan away from being a tourist. Thank you Taku!!!

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!

Deep Backstreet Osaka Tours
My partner and I recently joined in on this tour through Osaka's backstreets and we had a great time! Knox was our guide and he was excellent - personable, entertaining and above all, informative - and very happy to answer all of our questions. We also really appreciated his efforts to not make light of some of the more sensitive/serious subjects we came across during the tour.
We were really amped to see some of the places along the tour's route that we never would have stumbled across otherwise and really appreciated the tips on other sights to see (or not see) and food spots to check out.
The tour is well worth it for anyone interested in seeing and learning more about Osaka outside of the typical stuff.

Excellent biking tour...
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.

Mt. Koya day trip
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.

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.
