The personalized attention and detailed historical insights provided by the guide. Visiting the hidden gems of Osaka that we wouldn’t have found on our own was a highlight.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience. We will definitely book more tours with your company in the future.

We had a lovely morning touring Osaka with Maria. She is really great: kind, funny and knowledgable. She showed us around Osaka castle, the Osaka history museum and the tower neighborhood.

We had a great time touring the city with Yusei. He gave great recommendations and scheduled an itinerary to explore the city before we met. We visited shrines, walked along Dotounbori, took part in a traditional macha experience, and he even recommended places to visit after our tour ended.
He also helped us make a reservation to a restaurant we would have never found if it wasn’t for him, which was delicious and had great experience.

Our guide, Miki, is from Osaka where our tour was. She showed us some areas and shared what she loves about her city. She makes friends wherever she goes. We felt like we were connected to the people and the sites we seen. Thank you for a great day.
