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 an amazing tour guide. She was very flexible and catered to our preferences. We had our young kids with us who easily became tired as the heat got worse during the middle of the day. She was able to pivot and take us to an indoor museum of old Osaka. Our youngest was able to wear a kimono during that visit and she absolutely loved it. We definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Osaka.

    Maria was an excellent guide. Her English was perfect. She adjusted the tour to meet my kids interests (food!!!). Maria is very kind and was easy to be with for 6 hours. Tour ran on time and was well organized. We were very pleased. Would highly recommend her.
