Hi, I’m Kalid, your local host in Osaka! What I love most about this city is its fascinating history and world-famous food scene. Osaka is a place where every corner has a story to tell and a delicious dish waiting to be discovered, making it a dream destination for anyone who loves culture and cuisine. I enjoy walking around the city, finding hidden gems and trying out new restaurants. Whether it’s a charming backstreet eatery or a vibrant local favorite, I’m always excited to share the best of Osaka’s food and atmosphere with visitors. With deep knowledge of neighborhoods like Namba, Umeda, and almost all of Osaka, I know the spots tourists love and the secrets they often miss. From bustling markets to quiet temples, there’s always something new and exciting to explore in this vibrant city!

Khalid kindly met st our hotel to begin the tour that included explaining modern Osaka and buildings vs Japan history and formation at the Osaka Castle and grounds. Then trained to Abeno Harukas Tower to view the city from above (300m) and walked through Tennoji city parks, markets and food precincts ending at Dotonbori and Glico man.

This tour was wonderful, our guide, Khalid, was extremely knowledgeable on both the history of the area and he was able to make fantastic recommendations on local food to eat and other attractions we were interested in seeing. I strongly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great day in Osaka.
