Hamu was an excellent host and guide, very motivated and eager to please, making it very easy to travel with little time and little knowledge of the language. Actually, I enjoyed everything; a trip to always remember.

We loved our experience with Ryan. We had only a short time at Port and we really appreciated him navigating us through Osaka. We loved his knowledge of Japan and he was really focused on our needs

Our guide Ryan was brilliant. A totally bespoke tour, totally based around our personal preferences. He was easy to talk to, gave us insight into not just the city but a little about his life in the city and the whole day just felt like a really fun day out. Ryan was very personable and you felt like you'd known him for ages. Thank you - it made our day really memorable in Osaka.
