What are people saying about Osaka

Allison_L, Oct 2026

Fabulous 8 hour private tour

Riku was wonderful. He picked us up from the train station and then began our private tour. It was a rainy day but still spectacular. We saw the Golden Temple, Bamboo Gardens from a rickshaw, enjoyed a delicious ramen lunch and drove to Nara to see Todai-ji and the angelic wild deer. We learned so much about these sites and really enjoyed Riku’s knowledge and company. I highly recommend!

Fantastic tour - great addition to our time in Osaka!

This tour was outstanding! The group was small so ideal for conversing with our amazing guide, Yukina, a local who is fluent in English and so knowledgeable about the food and history of Osaka. We sampled food and drink at five different places, none of which we’d ever find on our own. Friends of ours took this tour two years ago and recommended it.

A beautiful day through Nara

Nara was a great place to experience. The deer were fun to feed but beware they can be a bit wild especially the big males! The shrine and temples were amazing too and the massive Buddha statue was outstanding to see. Our guide Ayana was friendly and knowledgeable too!

Had a wonderful time!...

Had a wonderful time! Christine was energetic throughout despite the long tour hours. She was an exceptional guide who could clearly articulate historical nuances about distant relics while also pointing us to a good coffee shop. She offered a flexible, well-designed itinerary; we also never felt rushed. Would certainly recommend this tour…

Enjoyable Tour

My son and I had a great time on this tour. Although off-season, the sites were still crowded. This tour was enjoyable because we could visit each site at our own pace. Fiona was a lovely guide, very informative and full of energy. I was impressed with the number of languages she can speak. Hang onto her, she is a gem.

Hiroshima & Miyajima Tour From Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto, Fukuoka

Rachel_M, Oct 2026

Great day - even with questionable weather...

Great way to see a lot in one day. Guide was funny - very well organized. Audio devices helpful in crowded areas with a lot of noise. My only complaint was the timing - it seemed we arrived at the Hiroshima museum at exactly the wrong time - line to get into museum and main exhibit were long, many school groups arriving, and I noticed no such line on the way out. Not sure how to resolve this though.

Must do trip!

Our tour was led by Heli and it was really enjoyable. The pace was good and her ability to switch up between English and Spanish so fluently was impressive. She was very knowledgable and friendly and there was enough free time to explore on our own. Also special thanks to our driver Kitta-san who got us everywhere on time, safely, and was very friendly.

Fantastic four-hour Osaka tour

We had a wonderful time on this Osaka tour. Four hours went by quickly because the guide kept things engaging, shared plenty of local history and food tips and made sure everyone could keep up. The pace was relaxed, with enough time to take photos and try local street food along the way. I'd happily book again and recommend it to anyone visiting Osaka for the first time.
