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!

We had an amazing tour with Khalid, who is an extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. An immigrant, whose love of Japan is palpable, he provides an interesting perspective. His itinerary included a diversity of sites from cultural to artistic to off the beaten path. He adjusted the pace to fit our needs and is a very smart and kind person. We got a great sense of the city thanks to Khalid. We highly recommend him!

Our guide Kalid was amazing. He made sure we saw Osaka from a local’s perspective, not just a tourist’s. He provided interesting history for the areas we visited and adjusted our planned itinerary around what we had already seen ourselves. Kalid was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable.
