How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
A massive cosmopolitan melting pot of culture is your oyster, whether you want to feel Sampa's pulse along Paulista Avenue in the social heart of the city or stop and smell the orchids at a flower market off the tourist track, the day will revolve around you. You could marvel at the neo-Gothic masterpiece Catedral de Sé or see a statue honoring the bustling city's founders, cascading on a square drenched in centuries' history. After greeting little brother of the Empire State Building, break for a bite of a city-famous sandwich at buzzing market Mercadão, before seeing the Renaissance-styled Municipal Theatre. The Beco de Batman alley adorned with graffiti beckons next, then swing around to a fairy light-lit bistro in hip hood Vila Madalena for hip-twirling samba.

Our experience with Fumiko in Osaka was great. From the moment we met, she made us feel welcomed and completely at ease. Her energy, and knowledge of the city brought every place we visited to life in a personal and meaningful way. Fumiko didn’t just take us to the usual tourist spots—she introduced us to hidden gems, local eateries, and cultural insights we might have not discovered on our own. We explored historic temples, the longest market in Japan, and even some quiet backstreet eateriesand coffee houses. She always had fascinating stories and local tips to share. Fumiko customized the tour to our interests. She paid close attention to what we said we liked and adjusted the pace and activities perfectly. It felt more like exploring the city with a friend than being on a tour. If you're visiting Osaka and want a truly authentic and engaging experience, I recommend Fumiko vety highly. She made our time in the city unforgettable, and my family and I would definitely be reaching out to her again on our next trip!
