The walking tour takes you around Dontonbori (it surrounds, markets and river). What nak we s this this unique are the anecdotes about the people of Osaka and their history. Jay spaced out the walk with areas to sit while he told us one or two of his anecdotes. His speech was clear and easy to understand. His has a jovial personality.

We did the tour with Matt, our tour guide, on our 1st day in Osaka. It was a good decision as Matt showed us best places to go shopping, dining & what is currently trending in Osaka with a bit of history. Matt, who was American but has been living in Osaka for a while now, was a fun and excellent guide.

EJ was an amazing Tour guide! Showed us some amazing parts of Osaka. He was also a great story teller. Kept us well informed and entertained.
The prize goes to Viator/ provider support though! We got off at finish point instead of starting point and the support team constantly helped us to meet up with the small group somehow! Well done!!

Walking tour of just the right amount of time to experience various areas of Osaka. Our guide, Jay was very knowledgeable and discussed Osaka cultural aspects and had his own anecdotes which made for a much more engaging walk beyond just the sites and market areas we visited. Highly recommend.
