Joey 10/10 and this service 10/10 - Joey was our tour guide and he was amazing!!! He was very knowledgeable about all the places we went to and helped us learn how to navigate the train and subway system considering we got lost the day before now we understand it a lot better. We did the private tour so we loved that he accommodated our desires like going to the figure stores and do some shopping. Definitely worth the price of this is your first time visiting and definitely ask for Joey!

Great Day in Osaka with Josh! - Thanks to Josh we had a great day in Osaka, not just touring the normal tourist stops. We did the Shrines and Temples, but approached them from unusual routes and with short diversions to see places less travelled. Josh was flexible with our plans and kept in contact before the day so that we didn’t duplicate any destinations already seen or not wanted. Chose a great local Ramen Shop that was like a movie set from the 1970s - tasted delicious. Big Thanks to Josh for a great day of sightseeing in Osaka. 🏯⛩️🇯🇵

Great customizable tour of Osaka - This tour is great if you do some research on Osaka first. Then email Kei with your desired itinerary and he will work with you so you see what you want of Osakas many sights. At each stop Kei provided us with background and walked us through the site. He also listened to what we wanted to experience for lunch and showed us great street food. Be aware, however, that Osakas sights are spread out and you will likely need to use cabs between sites. We used a combination of Go and regular taxis and transportation is not included in the price. Nonetheless, this tour was better than the ship’s alternatives.

Great and amazing day in Osaka - Kirico Sugahara is an extraordinary guide. She knows all about Osaka, Japan history and idiosincrasia, and knows how to transmit that in a clear and intelligent way. She is a very nice person and extremely efficient in her daily program. We had a great and wonderful experience with Kiriko.

Awesome guide for Osaka - Our guide was excellent. He planned in advance with tickets that we did not have to wait in line. He also found all the items I want to shop in advance - super kind. He reached out to us 2 days before if we have any special interests that he could show. He also showed us how to use bus and subway! Excellent service and guide.

Custom and Friendly Tour - Experience was great. It was very personal, the itinerary was custom. I left the experience feeling very encouraged and confident in traveling throughout Japan using the trains because our tour guide explained everything and answered all of our questions. He was very knowledgeable and gave us history lessons on the sights we saw. He walked us off the beaten bath. He was accommodating and very friendly.
