Rita was very knowledgeable and gave a great introduction to Osaka, its history, and its spirit. Plus there was a nice break for a local snack.

It was a nice trip. I only had a few hours and it was good to see a little bit while I could. I was the only one on my trip so we didn’t have to linger at places which I liked

We had a good time with Rika. She gave us specific directions on where to meet. Do note that Osaka Station is busy and can be complicated as well. We had no issues with Tokyo or Kyoto. She was very sweet and showed us 3 main areas of Osaka… all of them a little different from the other. She had some funny stories to go along with our tour. I recommend this tour with her especially if you do not have much time in Osaka.

It is not a food guide tour, but a very informative tour to step up your knowledge of Osaka in general. Not only.Kaori-san was gracious and informative, but well prepared for bad weather as well which we appreciated . We enjoyed her tour very much.

Walking around a train station. Then you must oay for your own ticket to go to other side if town (Namba). Walking around market streets, stop for a snack- beef /pork /chicken/potato on a stick and a soft drink. More walking thru market streets. Then left to find own way back. 😪
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you for your review.
We're sorry to hear our tour hasn't met your expectation. Our guide has so much love to Osaka and tried to show you several aspects of today's Osaka. However, it's very important to know what our guests are expecting. We'll take your comment seriously and try improving our tour. We want our guests to feel welcome and become fans of Osaka.
Thank you again.

The guide was patient and very helpful and the reason why 4 stars otherwise it would have been 2 stars! Tour stops were not as expected to be a tour of Osaka especially for the price but Hansin dept store stop was the best part.

Our tour guide Kaori was amazing and spoke good English. She took the time to explain things in detail about each location. In particular, she would answer any questions we had for her and if she didn’t immediately know the answer, would look up the answer herself and convey to us.
We only started to appreciate Japan after our experience with her on this tour.

Nice tour guide but the constant request to pose for photos for the tour company’s Facebook page was a bit obnoxious.
Response from Host, Oct 2024

We'll try improving the tour and sharing the improvement with other guides.

Ichiru, our guide was excellent. He took us to places we wouldn’t be able to find in our own. We made four great stops, including a light lunch. Just the right timing and pace for me. Great experience.

Not only was Ichiro very courteous, helpful but amazing tour guide as well. If I could, I’d give him 10 stars
Our trip to Osaka would be incomplete without having done this tour and I would recommend this for everyone.
Well, we chose a super hot day. He made sure he were indoors for the most part and got to see all the places.

The tour was very relaxed, easy paced, which is what you need when the weather is hot and humid. We visited 3 different areas, taking the the tube to each. Our guide was very knowledgeable and give as lots of facts and history about Osaka. We stopped for a snack to try the cuisine which was a nice break.
For me the best place was Namba, its very busy but has a great atmosphere.
We only had a group of 5 which was perfect, almost a private tour! Would recommend if you want to visit a few areas to get a good understanding of Osaka.

This was an interesting tour. We definitely saw parts of Osaka we would not have visited on our own. It gave us a completely different feel for the city than we would have taken away from the standard tourist spots. Our guide was pleasant, informative, and definitely loved her city.

Absolutely fantastic, first time being Osaka here, I think this is great way to have first look of this city
Mulan_H, Jun 2024
An excellent trip with Minako! We only had one day in Osaka and Minako made sure she could give us information, tips and practical advice, both for Osaka and Japan in general. We got to meet local friends of Minako who were all kind, welcoming and friendly. We recommend this tour 100% and hope to see Minako again on another tour in the future.
Christine_H, Jun 2024
Great tour with information on the Osaka station, then a visit to a cool area with lots of food and arcade type areas, followed by a tasty snack served inside an old VW bus at a restaurant, and ending at the Dotonburi area. Keiko was a great tour guide!
