My reviews

Fumikosan was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and fun to learn from. She gave us the high level tour of the city (common major places) and gave us less common information (good places to eat, historical information, information on Japanese customs and history). I hope everyone has such a good experience when they choose to get a city tour. Choose Fumiko!

Fumiko was a great guide during our private tour in Osaka. Me and my wife had a great night out for a nice walk with amazing food and drinks in non touristy places. Would definitely go again!

Fumiko was a great tour guide. We covered so many different types of food. Fumiko took us to great specialty places we never would have found on our own. We started with takoyaki, had okonomiyaki at a very popular place, had fried skewers, dumplings and had the most delicious taiyaki -- I don't think we missed any Osaka specialties. Fumiko was also very knowledgeable and kind. Our plane was delayed, and we started 30 minutes later than anticipated. She was kind and flexible and restructured our plans to accommodate the delay. Fumiko knew we had said we wanted to have an aggressive schedule so set a brisk pace so we could fit everything in. Such a wonderful start to our Japan adventure!
