Karim made a wonderful job introducing me to the multiple sites and cultural monuments of Osaka. iIn one day he covered the numerous areas of this sprawling city. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He answered all my questions, was very professional and passionate about his business. He made sure I saw and learned as much as possible. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the history, art and culture.
