My reviews

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.

Karim took us around on a 4 hour tour of historical and cultural spots in Osaka. We had visited the castle the day before and therefore it was great to be able to customize the itinerary. Karim was well informed and set up a good itinerary for the full duration of the tour.
