What are people saying about Osaka

Patricia_B, Oct 2026

Lovely day in Nara

We thoroughly enjoyed our morning tour to Nara lead by our guide Ayame. .Loved seeing the dear and the awesome temple.with the amazing statues. Ayame.made it a smooth and stressless experience as we were being lead along the way by an expert in the area with wonderful knowledge of the sites. It was a small walking tour 8 nice people and it was easy to interact and ask questions. Ayame was sweet, knowledgeable, and a clear animal lover. She even went out of her way to look up vegetarian restaurant options for me (not any easy task 😊). Highly recommend the tour

Memorable Osaka Food Tour

We really enjoyed our Osaka food tour. Dylan did a fantastic job providing the history and fun facts behind all of Osaka’s iconic foods and beverages. He was very personable and informative. We took the same tour last year with another couple (Anna was our guide) and we enjoyed it so much that we booked the same tour for our extended family trip (9 adults). Thanks again to Dylan for a very memorable experience!

Osaka Food Tour: 15 Delicious Dishes & 3 drinks at 5 Eateries

Robert_G, Oct 2026

Amazing Food Tour

Our food tour guide, Bernie, was excellent, sparking many engaging conversations and connecting with every participant. He was energetic and enthusiastic, and the food was outstanding across five locations with numerous dishes. This is our third tour in Japan—after Tokyo and Kyoto, and now Osaka—and it is easily the best. Fortunately, only one dish repeated, and it differed from the original; we would strongly recommend this tour and would certainly join again.

James_K, Oct 2026

Fun day in the rain

We had a wonderful trip today with our amazing tour guide Valerie. Although it rained most of the day, we were still able to enjoy all the stops and make happy memories. I really appreciated all the care Valerie took in making sure we were well informed of where we were going and shared with us some history of the places we visited. I love her positive attitude and she really took the time to meet each person and make sure we were all having a good time. The amount of time at each location was perfect. We didn’t feel rushed and had plenty of time to rest or grab something to eat. Would highly recommend this tour. Great job Valerie!

10 out of 10 Private Kyoto Day Tour!

My Husband and I had an absolute blast on this day tour. We had so much fun with our tour guide Ana, who was very knowledgeable on the places we visited, we learnt so much today. Ana wasn’t just the tour guide but she also offered to be our photographer in every site and her photos are amazing! I won’t say too much as to not spoil the great parts but all I can say is this Kyoto Day Tour is so worth it. In between the itinerary of places you will also have time to buy souvenirs. We had lunch at a traditional Japanese restaurant where we had to take our shoes off, they had a variety of menu sets to pick from and everything we ordered was delicious! Thank you Ana-san and Cho-san for the best day!

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

Hailey_W, Oct 2026

Hiroshima and Miyazima Island

Mitzuke (if this is her correct name) guided us on wonderful tour of the Hiroshima atomic dome, memorial area and museum. Before heading to Miyazima Island. The fact that she came from Hiroshima and her family experienced the atom bomb dropping on the 6th of August 1945, makes her the most ideal tour guide for such a melancholy but essential cultural, historic trip. She was so kind, full of knowledge and super friendly. Everyone on the tour enjoyed her stories and her beautiful character. I hope to meet you again one day. Thanks again Viator for organising another fantastic tour that is as always amazing value for money <3.

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.
