    We had Jonathan as our tour guide. We recommend him if you're wanting a more laid back experience. He took us around Osaka and showed us various sites and shrines. Gave us a lot of history and told us about the culture of the area.

    Our guide (Takaya) made the tour extremely interesting by sharing a lot of information about the Japanese culture, religion, and language, all strictly related to the places we visited, so the visit flew by and we really enjoyed it. As an additional positive note, he also stayed with us a few minutes overtime by bringing us to the station we needed for our afternoon autonomous visit. Highly recommended!

    Alex was an exceptional tour guide who provided a memorable experience in Osaka. Their extensive knowledge of the city's history, culture, and hidden gems made the tour both informative and enjoyable. Alex's friendly demeanor and willingness to personalize the experience according to our interests truly stood out. I highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and personable guide to explore Osaka with.
