Custom Tour of Osaka with private Guide

Corey_W, Oct 2026

Good experience with Nori our guide. Agency sent many canned messages that can cause confusion. Coordinate details with guide. Our tour was customized to meet our itinerary requests having been to Osaka many times. Avoid Osaka during their local holidays. Very busy and crowded. We hit the last day of a 3 day holiday weekend.

Response from Host, Oct 2026

Thank you very much for your review! It is difficult to find a balance between too much communication and too little. We will take your feedback into account as an agency. As for the time with your guide, we are glad it went well! We hope you enjoy Japan! Japan Guide Agency

Yama San Our Wonderful Guide

lneyedoc, May 2026

Highly recommend booking with Yama San for unforgettable experience! He taught us history, traditional rituals, culture etiquette and helped us with best authentic street food. Many Thanks for being our friend.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

I appreciate your most kind and thoughtful comment. I am very much glad to know that you have enjoyed the tour with me. I have also had a very happy time with you. I suppose that you must have been very tired from visiting the spots because of very high temperature on that day. The soft serve ice cream at Dootombori Street was good, right? I sincerely hope that the three stones of Go Dai Riki at Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine will make your dream come true someday, but in such case, you have to return there, do you remember that? Ha ha ha! Doomo Arigato Gozaimashita, - Yama

Not enough hours in the day

kateg47, Apr 2023

We had a driver and a guide which made it very squishy. The guide was ok but the driver was better. Went out of his way to help us. We were fortunate to take the lifts in Osaka castle which is amazing and could easily take a full day with all the exhibitions and art and history. Shitenoji temple was also the best we have seen. Food market not as good as Tokyo. Probably the best private tour we have done for history.
