Had a good time with our... - Had a good time with our tour guide. It was interesting to see how vastly different the streets and alleys of Osaka look and feel. As if it is like different cities altogether. It was nice seeing these places! The 4 hour tour is a good amount of time to look around and then the later half to further check out other areas that were recommended.

Discover Osaka with a local guide - Khalid kindly met st our hotel to begin the tour that included explaining modern Osaka and buildings vs Japan history and formation at the Osaka Castle and grounds. Then trained to Abeno Harukas Tower to view the city from above (300m) and walked through Tennoji city parks, markets and food precincts ending at Dotonbori and Glico man.

Very nice Osaka walking tour with Max - My wife and I really enjoyed our 4-hour walking tour with our guide Max. He was punctual, knowledgeable, and pleasant, easy to talk to. He had a great path laid out for us and we got to see some of the exciting busier street with shops and supermarkets, as well as a walk to Osaka Castle and through the park. A very nice taste of Osaka. Max guided us through public transportation with ease, and gave excellent recommendations on where to sample local cuisine and even dropped us off at a Sukiyaki restaurant on request right inside Osaka station. Would recommend this tour and Max. We logged over 20,000 steps walking on our particular tour.

An Unforgettable Osaka Experience with Maria - We had the absolute pleasure of experiencing a personalized walking tour of Osaka with Maria, and it was truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, Maria impressed us with her deep knowledge of Osaka’s history and culture. She didn’t just share facts—she brought the city to life with engaging stories and insights that gave us a much richer appreciation of everything we were seeing. It was my husband, my daughter, and myself on the tour, and Maria made each of us feel included and cared for. She has such amazing energy—warm, considerate, and incredibly mindful of our pace and interests. We even threw in a few last-minute requests, and Maria effortlessly went with the flow, tailoring the experience perfectly to us. What really stood out is how genuine and passionate Maria is about what she does. She isn’t just a guide; she’s a connector who makes you feel like you’re exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend. We can’t recommend Maria enough. If you’re visiting Osaka and want a tour that’s thoughtful, flexible, and full of insight, Maria is the one to choose. She made our time in the city so special, and we’ll carry these memories with us forever.

Amazing Osaka - Having Maria as our personal guide was amazing ! Her sense of fun, knowledge of Osaka & excellent english skills enhanced our day enormously. We packed so much into our walking tour but Maria ensured that there was plenty of opportunity to stop for shopping & refreshments along the way. Maria went the extra mile to give us the very best experience in Osaka We saw and learned so much more than we could have if we had been on our own. Highly recommend!!!!
