Hi, I’m Maria! Osaka is my home, and I’m passionate about sharing its best-kept secrets with visitors. From the bustling streets to the hidden corners, I know all the spots where you can truly experience the city’s spirit. What I love most about Osaka is its street food and local specialties. Whether it's trying unique desserts or exploring food markets, I’m always on the lookout for delicious and unusual finds—especially vegetarian options! I’m familiar with all the vibrant neighborhoods like Dotonbori, Namba, and Umeda, and I can’t wait to show you the best places to shop, eat, and drink. Let’s discover the Osaka I know and love together!

My reviews

    Maria was a fantastic guide. I had such a good time being shown around the city. I signed up for the 4hr tour - I could have easily gone longer.

    Maria was absolutely lovely. I can understand the relatively short booking window between confirming the tour and starting it might have made it challenging to tailor the trip to my interests directly but I did feel like there was some attention there. Maria took me to some unique shops and pointed out potential earrings to buy, and just went along with accepting whether I was interested in something or not. She was fantastic to walk with and I just wish I had more time!

    She could answer every question we had, even if it wasn’t about the tour we were on. Very knowledgeable.
