Hi! I'm Kieran, your go-to person for all things Osaka. With a heart full of humor and warmth, I find joy in the city's vibrant nightlife and the outgoing spirit of its people. Osaka, to me, is a mix of colorful experiences, from its enchanting parks that offer a serene escape to the endless adventures waiting in its bustling streets. I'm all about diving into new culinary experiences, chatting up locals in cozy bars, and uncovering the eccentricities that make Osaka unique. My love for this city deepens with every historical tale I uncover, making each corner of Osaka feel like a page out of a living history book. Whether you're craving the best street food in Shinsekai or looking for picturesque routes through Osaka Jo Koen, I'm here to guide you through the cultural powerhouse that is Osaka. Let's make your visit unforgettable!

My reviews

Our family had a great tour with Kieran. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about the city and life in Japan in general. He made the tour fun and interesting not just for my husband and myself, but also two teenage boys (which is difficult to do!). He customized the tour to our needs, interest, and timeline which we also appreciated. While we are very seasoned travelers around the globe, I am so glad we booked this tour because honestly, unless you have an unlimited amount of time on your hands, these tours are most efficient way to get to know a city. I felt like we were able to see more in Osaka than we would have if we tried to do all this ourselves. Great tour and a really affordable cost.

Kieran was a great host! You can tell that he cares a lot about Osaka and giving his guests a good time. He customized our itinerary to things we wanted to do and gave us good facts and information about Osaka along the way. We only had 3 hours but accomplished a lot with his efficient planning!
