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!
Maria was super kind and guided us to places off the beaten path she was very knowledgeable and patient . My group of seven had a blast.

We had an amazing experience with Maria. She was so knowledgeable and nice, and really catered the tour to our interests. She even stayed with us longer than the amount of time we booked the tour for. I have nothing bad to say, she was great!!! She took us to local spots that we would have never found.
