What travelers think of our Osaka experiences
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.

Highly recommend the personalized walking experience.
