Matsu/Steven was super great! He was very friendly and spoke good English. He took us all over the town and gave us some tips at each location. The Van was very clean inside & out. He was prompt with every message on WhatsApp. A+

We had a wonderful private tour in a very nice air-conditioned vehicle. The driver also taught us so much about Japanese culture and the shrines and temples. We are able to fit in at least seven different destinations in our day tour, including time for a sit-down lunch and shopping! It was a great way to see a lot on Osaka! I would highly recommend.

You should let the customers know that they basically are driven to a site and walk around themselves. We were led to believe that the driver knew about the history of the sites .

Our local guide Fuji was the best of our entire Japan experience. His English is excellent and his enthusiasm to ensure that we enjoyed Osaka was unparalleled. Fuji was very patient with us, and asked us our preferences and goals for our full day tour of Osaka. He made certain each stop was super convenient for us in terms of drop off and pick up locations and he even went to the extra effort to come inside the train station with us at the end of day to help us sort out our train ticket change. He was full of local information, historical Japan information, and an overall joy to spend the day with. We can't recommend enough to book Fuji for your tour of Osaka.

Fuji-san, our English-speaking driver for the day, made our Osaka tour so much fun. An Osaka native, he was full of interesting info and great tips. He had to stay with the vehicle at each stop but peppered us with history and important facts before each site. We enjoyed his friendliness, positive energy, can-do attitude, and willingness to switch up the itinerary on the spot based on our interests. For instance, on discovering my engineering background, he immediately proposed substituting the fantastically-designed Osaka Sky Tower for an earlier-proposed site. He suggested lunch places in Kuromon Itchiba to accommodate our dietary needs and also must-sees on our next day’s tour of Kyoto with a different guide. We loved his refreshing approach to his hometown, interacting with customers, and life in general.
