We had an excellent guide! The stories that Menna shared were very interesting and it was clear that she loved Osaka! We had a wonderful time.
Very interesting tour of the bustling district in Osaka. Raul did a great job explaining things about history, food and religion. Very good guide
Great mix of local history and food culture in Osaka. Ukyo & Maoka were our guides and were very knowledgeable.
The tour was great and worth more than the money. Our tour guide Amelia was really good and thorough with explaining everything.
Erina and Natsumi we’re excellent tour guys. Our group had an amazing time. They were super energetic and very kind. They accommodated our group and made the experience very fun.

Pamela was great and so kind she was knowledgeable and passionate and made the experience fun, thanks
It was an amazing experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and explained everything very clearly. We learned a lot and really enjoyed the tour. I highly recommend it!
It was a good tour, Shibu was very knowledgable and constantly shared fun facts about certain stops, history and funny aspects. He was very punctual in his tour. I feel the only down fall of the tour is the part of the boat, the guide wasn’t so fluent in English and since we came in last we got separated from the tour guide, so he couldn’t explain fully everything. Other than that it was a great experience, really fun one and nice to try.
