Amazing Tour Guide - Mo is an awesome, mature young lady who guided us through Osaka. Her pleasant demeanor and friendly attitude made this day very memorable. Mo was very considerate to our needs and always asked us if we are doing ok. We made a new friend here in Osaka and look forward to coming here again. Being a retired couple we finished the day with 15000 steps and lots memories in addition to a great heartfelt experience 🥰

Miri was a lovely and... - Miri was a lovely and patient guide. She explained the history of Osaka well. We would have liked to have stayed and explored the castle more. The shopping districts were interesting, but we are not shoppers or souvenir collectors. The discrepancy for not understanding the limits of the tour is on us and no reflection of the guide.

Great first day activity! - We had such a wonderful day exploring Osaka for the first time! We were lucky enough to have our guide all to ourselves and spent a fun & fascinating day seeing plum blossoms, getting gorgeous views of Osaka Castle, visiting bustling Shinsaibashi, Kuromon Market, Shinsekai, and Namba. Our guide was wonderful to talk to, was very knowledgeable, and gave us a great overview of the city which is going to be incredibly helpful during the rest of our stay in Osaka. We ended the day with a delicious lunch of gyoza & Osaka-style ramen. So tasty! Would definitely recommend this tour to other Western visitors & came away saying we had a great day that was very well spent!
