What are people saying about Osaka

Tyler_L, Oct 2026

Busy places but a smooth tour

Fiona was probably the most communicative tour guide I have ever had. I really liked the approach of using a WhatsApp group to share live updates and her location. It made navigating the heavily trafficked destinations a lot more manageable. I also liked the information she gave us about Nara & shrine etiquette. Very useful. And again, she shared information in our WhatsApp group for reference later.

Kyoto Private Car Tour – Full Day with Local Guide & Nara Option

Stephanie_D, Oct 2026

Great Tour for Cruise Passenger!

Hosei was a fantastic tour guide! He picked us up from the cruise terminal. He drove a clean, comfortable mini van that can comfortably hold 6 people (Four people if two are “healthier” wink wink). He had bottle water waiting for us which was nice considering the heat. Our tour took us to Kyoto and the Golden Temple, Arashiyama and the bamboo forest, the Samauri Museum, and finally the Fushimi shrine. It was a fantastic day! He recommended we take the rickshaw to see the bamboo forest and he was spot on. Taking the rickshaw for one hour is the way to go to save your legs from all the walking. The rickshaw carriers will make sure you get the most amazing pictures. It’s worth every penny. He also chose out lunch spot, which had great options and a clean bathroom. Overall, it was a fabulous day. We returned to the ship on time. I highly recommend the tour. Be sure to ask for Hosei!

5 Stars — Fantastic Kyoto Tour with Ocean!

We had an amazing experience exploring Kyoto with Ocean! He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, and made our day both fun and memorable. He shared fascinating insights into Kyoto’s history, culture, and traditions while making sure we got the most out of our time in the city. Ocean was accommodating, flexible, and genuinely enjoyable to spend the day with. We never felt rushed, and he made the entire experience seamless and personalized. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide to show us around Kyoto. Highly recommend Ocean to anyone visiting!

A fabulous day in Kyoto!

We had the absolute best guide - Keiran! Yes, the pick up was easy, the bus driver was careful, the bus was comfortable, and the sights were perfect in capturing Kyoto in a day. BUT what made the experience so extraordinary was our guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, provided excellent recommendations on food and omiyage, and went out of his way to lend his expertise on our travels. So blessed to have him lead our special day in a very special city!

A Morning with the Deer

We were the only party of the group so it was like a personal guide. The pick up point was relatively easy to find and having had a previous WhatsApp message made life really easy. Our guide Moe was a lovely young lady passionate about Nara park and the wider Japanese culture and traditions. She provided excellent detail for each temple and shrine and clearly had an affinity with the whole area. Her caring nature for the narure was clearly demonstrated when she spotted a deer trying to eat a coffee cup. She went across and quickly grabbed it off the deer to prevent any issues. We had a truly marvelous morning and Moe just made it that much more memorable.

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

Ronald_C, Sept 2026

Worthwhile day trip

What a great, well-organized, and full day. Meeting at Shin-Osaka station in the morning was easy. The day basically included visit to 1) the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, and 2) Miyajima Island. The Museum was a powerful experience. For Miyajima Island, there was enough time to walk around, take lots of pictures of the Great Torii from the sea, but not enough time to take the cable car. Lunch was OK. I don't know if different counters (which may be different owners) provided different experiences. At my counter, the Okonomiyaki had only one small piece of meat (that seems less than usual), and the soft drink was a partial glass. When we asked for more soft drink (it was a very hot day), we were told that would be 300 yen. That seems excessive. I wish the tour company would control the lunch quality better.
