Best Ōsaka experience ever!
Maria_A, Apr 2024
Kaori delivered a very intimate and detailed tour of life in Osaka . We truly enjoyed every moment with her and learned many things about Osaka that you would never get by just walking around on your own. We know how to count to 6 now in Japanese! We highly recommend her services and the highest possible rating. A+++
Enjoyable Osaka walking tour
Sheri_Y, Apr 2024
We really enjoyed this walking tour with Minako She is a gracious host with considerable local knowledge. She provided great food recommendations and we learned a lot of fun facts about this amazing city.
Happy Tourguide that works hard for you.

Great experience
Maria_S, Apr 2024
I only had one full day in Osaka (definitely a mistake on my part!), and I'm glad I took this tour for part of it. Rika was a wonderful tour guide, both informative and funny. I got to see a lot of Osaka (and learn so much) in a short amount of time, including some hidden gems. I definitely recommend this tour!!

A “must do”!
vanessa_k, Mar 2024
Ichiro was the absolute best guide. So patient, so kind and such a pleasure to spend the morning with. He was so knowledgeable and well spoken. I learned so much about the city and really appreciated this small , personal group tour where we could ask questions at such a personal level and really learn about Osaka culture and history. I was lucky enough to share this experience with a fabulous family from DC and we really worked well together as a group. I willl never forget this tour with Ichiro and Osaka will hold a special place in my heart forever.

Great intro to Osaka
Natalie_A, Jul 2023
A great introduction to Osaka. Our guide Ichi was very knowledgable and friendly. Maybe a bit less time at Osaka station would have been good, but overall all of the locations were great and using the trains was very easy.
