Osaka 6 hr Private Tour: English Speaking Driver Only, No Guide
Description
This is the ideal tour for time-tight travelers that want to discover Osaka’s highlights efficiently in a day.

It was great, he was very nice, helpful and it was a great trip. I would recommend when in Osaka to use this service.
We went to a few places and even had a few changes of ideas last min. Our driver was Kazu. A-MAZ-ING! He’s so nice and a great driver. Was willing to give a few recommendations and alternatives if we wanted to stay in one location longer or even cut it short because one of the kids was getting tired. He gave my daughter a gift which was super sweet!
Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you had a fantastic time in Osaka and that our driver Kazu made your experience even more special. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back to Japan in the future! Japan Guide Agency
It was a good experience. We control where and when to go. We are not rushed ro go from one place to another and we can take as much time as we want in each place since it is a private tour. We loved it!
Very nice and clean vehicle. Very helpful driver, Kazunori. I will ask him to drive for us again when we are back in Japan.
Thank you so much for using my taxi this time. There are still many places to visit in Osaka. I look forward to welcoming you again when you visit Osaka. Kazunori Maeda
