Kieran was very personable and greeted us promptly at our hotel, he was very easy to talk with and knowledge about our tour of Osaka Castle and beyond. He knew the history of Japan Royal Family and easily answered any questions we had, he was very good with my son who is confined to wheelchair and took time with him, the day went very well
Kieran greeted us very warmly and was quite knowledgeable about the Osaka Castle and surrounding area,he took us step by step thru the Castle grounds and showed us the historical facts from the 16th century, so interesting... We asked questions and he had the answers for us about Japan Royal Family at that time...the castle was built
Kieran was an excellent guide! He took us to a little known temple where there were no other tourists and it was the highlight of our trip. He’s pleasant, professional and you can tell he loves sharing the sites of his country.

This is a perfect way to highlight areas of Osaka for your visit. Diego did an amazing job showing us and had lots of great information on the history of Osaka as we toured. It was our first day in Osaka and this was hands down the best way to learn the area so we know where we want to spend additional time. We cannot say enough great things about this tour and Diego!
