I spent a lovely moring in Osaka checking out the vintage luxury purse scene with Fumiko, my guide. She helped me find shops that carried the items I was looking for, but more importantly was a great shopping buddy and translator as needed. This private tour was a great option for me when I wanted to go shopping and the rest of my group didn't. We did run into a problem that my tour started at 10am and most of the shops we wanted to look at didn't open until 11am. Fumiko tried to find the few places that opened early for us to start at, but I would advise starting shopping tours at 11am to avoid this issue.

What a great day with my private tour guide! It was like having a best friend to show you all the best spots- even met a few more friends along the way. I was looking for cooking and housewares and Mayura showed me some great places, as well as some good spots for snacks and even had a Sakura latte. Highly recommend the personalized walking experience.

She was in tune with what we wanted, really friendly and helpful. We are really, really happy with our experience. We were taken to lots of places we would have never found by ourselves. We are very grateful.

Wonderful night out with Maria in Osaka. Our guide for in touch with us in advance, so we could let her know about our expectations and what we'd like to see. Maria arranged everything perfectly, showed us all special places in Namba and Dotombori and suggested tasty street food. She also planned for tickets in advance and she made me fall in love with Osaka. I was with a Japanese friend and she also loved the tour. I highly recommend the tour and Maria.
