Good Tour Guide - Ito-san was extremely helpful and kind towards us, and went out of his way to guide us. He was also very passionate about the history of ancient Japan.

Tour of Osaka museum and castle with KEI - I toured the Osaka museum and castle with KEI who was very knowledgeable of the local history and the Japanese history of all families, battles, building design and trade. He was able to interpret the Japanese culture, relating the differences and how they came to be to current western culture. I got so much more out of both of these venues going with KEI providing the back ground and significance compared to walking through these on my own. Highly recommend both the tour and KEI as your tour guide.

Great fun at Osaka Castle - Michi was an excellent and knowledgeable guide, and we had great fun exploring both the Osaka Museum of History and Osaka Castle. Overall, it was a great experience and tour. I was so happy I took the tour even after getting lost on the Osaka subway. I will definitely recommend Michi to anyone else who visits Osaka and wishes to see Osaka Castle.

Kei is a great and friendly tour guide - We joined this tour guide because it was within our budget and provides a private group, perfect for family trip. We really enjoyed the tour guided by Kei who is really friendly to talk to and well knowledged when it comes to the details and history of the Osaka castle. Overall we think that this tour guide is worth the price and would definitely recommend others to join!

Great Guide - My tour guide was Ma-chan, who did an excellent job. The museum inside Osaka Castle is not great when it comes to translations, often only translating the name of the item but not the story. She did a great job translating, explaining and expanding upon what both museums and the castle had to offer. The tour was a little expensive for what it was, which is a shame. Ma-Chan did an excellent job and deserves full recognition for it.
