This was a good tour if you would like an overview of Osaka. Momo our guide was very friendly, had some very good eating recommendations, and we spent a nice time with her.

Osaka Castle is a must see. Really enjoyed learning the history. Toshi was great. Maybe just a little too much time touring places to eat.

A worthwhile trip to the Castle helps with a guide to get an express pass from all the other tourists.
Tashiki is knowledgeable about the history of the Osaka Castle. Just need to fully listen attentively due to the language barrier. Otherwise the trip to foodie place in Nimba and Sinseki( spelling ?) was another must see and eat in. Draw caution to wearing comfortable shoes because it’s a requirement.

Fab tour, really well balanced in terms of Castle, shrine and buzzy areas of the city. Terumi was a great guide, we loved it.

What an excellent tour! Our guide, Aika did an awesome job sharing engaging and insightful background on Osaka Castle and the city’s history, along with helpful tips on temple and shrine etiquette.
The pacing was just right, giving us enough time to explore each stop. Bonus addition: She did a detour for us along a beautiful path to enjoy the incredible cherry blossoms and took great photos for us at the best spots.
Highly recommend this tour—Aika’s knowledge of Osaka and her hospitality made it a fantastic experience.

Fantastic small group tour of the highlights of Osaka. Our tour guide Aki (spelling?) was fantastic! She had a great energy and was very knowledgeable.

Our tour guide Tatsuya was exceptional! He was patient, knowledgeable and kind. We really had a great time and would love to tour with him again. This experience is really great for those who only have so much time to dedicate to a tour.

Yuya was a super guide and spoke great English (5 years in the UK!). He was friendly and professional and managed to pack all the 'must-see' sights of Osaka in to one morning without rushing. He patiently answered all our questions with a smile! To be recommended.

Our guide was superb! Took us to the main spots sharing historical tidbits and enlightening us every step of the way! It’s a great tour especially when you have limited time as we did! Recommended!

Yuya was an excellent tour guide. He answered all of our questions and made it a memorable experience. Our favorite part was the Osaka Castle tour. The views from the top were spectacular. Yuya is an expert on his hometown. He spoke perfect English as rn spent many years in London. He went at a comfortable pace and guided us through Osaka with ease. We got to see all the things we wanted in short order. Would definitely recommend.

A wonderful way to experience Osaka. We loved the tour from the castle to the vibrant neighborhoods and iconic spots. Our guide was thoughtful, informative, knowledgeable and fun. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you only have a day there.

I only had 10 hours to see Osaka. Very glad I chose this 4 hour trip. The guide was very friendly and flexible. Also it rained lightly for 2 hours. He was kind enough to shelter me in his umbrella. If I could enjoy in a rainy day u can have a great time in a sunny day !! Go for it.

Beautiful walk to discover the city and its past. The guide told us many curiosities throughout the journey. Absolutely recommended!
