Karim took us around on a 4 hour tour of historical and cultural spots in Osaka. We had visited the castle the day before and therefore it was great to be able to customize the itinerary. Karim was well informed and set up a good itinerary for the full duration of the tour.

We did a 3-hour walking tour in Osaka with Maria. It was a very fun way to get acclimated into a city we have never been to before. At our request, she took us around to the local spots for food, entertainment, and shopping. Also she gave some great ideas our next cities we will be traveling too. Thank you Maria.

Maria was absolutely amazing, completely slanted the tour to exactly what we wanted. I was a bit worried as I had quite sore knees , but made use of public transport and Uber as needed. The tour was exactly what we were after, and we were thrilled. I would recommend Maria a million percent, and I would do this tour again.

Very pleasant experience with tour guide (Karim) who provided plenty of information about the places visited. Organised the tour as per our requests and timeline

Kai was our amazing tour guide. She is very knowledgeable about the history of Osaka and showed us so many things in a short 4 hours. She went above and beyond! Teaching us how to purchase ICOCA cards for public transport for the remainder of our trip through Japan and how to reserve seats on the bullet trains. She even surprised my son with a birthday cake, including candles, when we arrived back at our hotel! She made my son’s birthday even that more special! Kai is an Osaka Gem!!!

Maria was a wonderful guide who showed us the modern vibrant side of Osaka. We visited the most amazing high rise buildings with an incredible view and art gallery, tried some unusual local specialties I’d never tasted before in areas I would never have found without her. She guided us across this sprawling city with confidence and we saw and tasted so much in our time with her. She got us back to the train station so we could easily find our way back to our base in Kyoto. We learned that Osaka folks love to have fun and we saw just where the fun happens!

I had an amazing tour of Osaka with Taku. He took me to beautiful local spots I would’ve never found on my own and shared great insight about the city. He customized the entire experience to what I wanted and even brought me to fantastic local places to eat. The food was great, the conversation was easy, and the day felt genuinely authentic. Highly recommended.
