Excellent tour
Our tour in Kyoto was excellent. Our guide Christine was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of Kyoto. She made every stop interesting and took the time to answer all of our questions. Her organization, attention to detail, and warm personality made the day both enjoyable and stress-free.
We learned so much, saw beautiful places, and gained a deeper appreciation for Kyoto thanks to her guidance. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kyoto. Thank you for making our experience so memorable!

Awesome way to see the city
Joel was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and great with my 11 year old son’s questions. We saw so much and we were able to start our trip with key knowledge. He had great restaurants to recommend as well. A highlight of our trip was when an elderly Japanese women came over to say hello to us, she was curious about our family, and we had a lovely conversation.

For the love of Osaka
Terrific experience! Kieran our guide was amazing and totally catered to our pace and needs with my elderly father. He hit all the hot spots and we found the places we wanted to visit again the next few days. Kieran gave great info and was very personable and fun. Would definitely recommend for a great overview of Osaka. Made us love it!

Irish Kyoto Krew
This was a fantastic day trip around Kyoto. The booking was easy and our contacts at Viator (John and Brent) were very quick to respond to my last minute request and organised a vehicle for 8 travellers and a guide at midnight the night before we needed it. The driver was very professional and his vehicle was excellent. The guide (Noriko) was incredible. She was local and very knowledgable and answered out plethora of questions. She took us to 5 different locations including temples, forrests, stunning waterfront locations and 2 different maket and local shopping locations. We were thrilled with our day and could not fault it.

Osaka - 4 hour trip
We had only half a day in Osaka so opted for the 4 hour tour with a Government Guide. We were allocated Yuki and she got in touch by email shortly after I had booked the tour to discuss the itinerary. We agreed on what we wanted to see and left the rest to Yuki. She met us at the cruise terminal and took us into Osaka to visit Osaka Castle. Afterwards we visited the shopping area and then we were on a quest to find Japanese Pokemon cards for our grandson. Yuki was informative and interesting, her English was good and we enjoyed our trip in the time that we had. Thank you Yuki

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 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!

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.
