Great Tour

Heather_D, Oct 2025

There is a lot of walking and steps so just be aware! But it was an interesting tour of Osaka with a great guide - Taka (our guide) and Fuji (our driver) were both excellent! We learnt a lot of the history of Osaka.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for the great feedback on your Osaka tour! We're happy to hear you found the experience interesting and learned so much about the city's history. It's fantastic that our entire crew was excellent and made your day so enjoyable.

Our guide Taka and Fuji...

Derrick_T, Sep 2025

Our guide Taka and Fuji were great. They picked us up on time. We were the only ones who booked this trip, so it was basically a private van tour of osaka city. We were able to hit up 5 of the most popular destinates in Osaka. My wife is 20 weeks pregnant. Taka and Fuji were very accomodating and very flexible with the schedule. They were also kind enough to drop us off at the hotel so we didn't have to walk home. Arigato! Derrick

A little of everything!

Rebecca_C, May 2025

Osaka castle has really big grounds. Ideal for a whole day exploration. Too hot in summer and too many tourist. Andy our guide did best he could to show us important things to see in our days itenerary. Very patient and pointed to us places to shop with very tightschedule. Nice to see a little bit of everything if only short stay in Osaka.

Good day it turned out to be

AbdManafBin_H, May 2025

we thought we missed the van as we were given a run around by Google Map to the meeting point. Contacted the company running the tour and was then got a message from Taka san, our guide. turned out that we were the only passengers that day and they waited for us. As we were already in a taxi to Osaka Castle, the first stop, we then met up at the taxi stand of the Castle. Thank you very much Taka san and our driver Take san for giving us, as it turned out, a personalised tour of Osaka. Next is Dotonbori,, where we lunched at a halal ramen restaurant, quite close to the Glico man, then off to a shrine nearby and then to Shinsekai for a bit of shopping and some street food. From a near disaster to a wonderful spring day with thousands on a golden weekend, I can't thank enough for the tour company for a memorable day in Osaka. Highly recommended

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Osaka in a day

Grace_N, Oct 2024

It was a pleasant experience with our tour guide, Andy. He recommended a good plauce to est which we enjoyed We were brought to places we wanted to see our tour guide also adjusted to the phase of ou tour since we're both seniors The only fault of the tour is the last minute change in pick up location. Otherwise, well worth tour.
