Latest reviews from our guests

We had Jonathan as our tour guide. We recommend him if you're wanting a more laid back experience. He took us around Osaka and showed us various sites and shrines. Gave us a lot of history and told us about the culture of the area.

Our guide (Takaya) made the tour extremely interesting by sharing a lot of information about the Japanese culture, religion, and language, all strictly related to the places we visited, so the visit flew by and we really enjoyed it. As an additional positive note, he also stayed with us a few minutes overtime by bringing us to the station we needed for our afternoon autonomous visit. Highly recommended!

Kalid arrived early and got us started with the observation deck of our hotel which was included with the tour. He was flexible, communicated the history of the city and all sites visited with candid honesty, personal relevance and great respect for the Japanese democracy, culture and way of life. Our tour was action packed with information from beginning to end, with information delivered at a pace we were willing to consume it and relevant to the sites we visited. I highly recommend Kalid, as someone who can relate to the information curious tourist as myself are seaking, and now a resident who has educated himself on the history of Japan! Kalid, thanks for the excellent job you did today! All of the personal touches you added to today's tour, were invaluable!
