Amazing guide - Mouloud is an amazing guide. He is punctual, friendly and very knowledgeable. Since my husband and I speak very little Japanese we were grateful to have him around.

Great Tour for First-time Visitors - Great experience for first time visitors to Osaka. We were lucky that our tour guide Mouloud spoke French on top of English. He is very knowledgeable, speaks Japanese very well and provides great explanation on Osaka's history.
