Tour Guide able to accommodate a disabled traveler - This was a fantastic tour. I went with my disabled mother who gets around using a powered wheelchair. Getting around in Japan that way can be tricky, but Kieran knew exactly how to navigate the Osaka mass transit system with the wheelchair, which made things very easy. I'm an historian and was hoping to find someone who knew the history of Osaka, especially in the Sengoku and Edo periods, and Kieran was able to answer all of my questions. He also had a wealth of useful information about the modern city and its history that helped me really understand what I was looking at as we toured the city. Extremely personable and very helpful, we couldn't have asked for a better guide or a better experience. Very highly recommended!

Excellent. I recommend this type of tour to everyone. Kieran was very knowledgeable about Japanese history. - Having Kieran as a personal guide was wonderful! We did not have to guess how to use the subway and decide what stop to get off at. He walked us through everything. I really loved that Kieran did Not have a strong accent and we were able to understand each other easily. Kieran helping us made us feel much more confident in Osaka. Because of him, we're able to see many things we would not have seen on our own. Osaka castle, Kuromon Market, Dountonbori, and 3 temples.

Great tour of Osaka - If you need a tour of Osaka in English, i cannot recommend Kieran enough. He was outstanding and an encyclopedia of knowledge regarding everything related to Osaka. He customized the tour based on the interests of myself and my 16 year old son. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Thank you again, Kieran!

Osaka through the eyes of a masterful guide - If you have only one day in Osaka, make it a day with Kieran Morgan! An ex-pat from Canada who has embraced Japan with gusto over many years, his knowledge of the history and culture is phenomenal, especially fine tunedfor out-of-towners for whom Japan can feel somewhat mysterious. Kieran helps navigate Osaka through its impressive subways to vibrant and exciting venues. He knows great restaurants at any price point, and can give you tips on other places you might go should you decide to wandering by yourself. We give this tour guide a big, thumbs up! If we return to Osaka, we will be calling him.
