Vanessa was a great guide. She arrange our time around our wants and needs. She was very knowledgeable of the culture and area. In addition she answered our questions and gave recommendations to help us with the rest of our stay. I will always book such a tour on our first day going forward due to all the value it provides for our trip.

Leon was very open to where my son wanted to go and what he wanted to see. I liked how personal the tour was.

We booked a private tour for me and me girlfriend. Our host was Ceci and we had a fantastic afternoon in the gion district and the shrines and temples around. we learned alot about the practices, culture and history of kyoto and especially the geishas / geikos, their work and the respected districts. The tour was very personalized and we saw a lot more things than we normally would have, if we just went on our own. We can 100 % recommend :)

Osaka Private Night Tour: Dōtonbori & Ura Namba, 4 Hours With A Local

Ich habe die Tour kurzfristig gebucht da ich fasziniert war von den abendlichen Lichtern und Eindrücken Japans. Mein Tour Guide Fumiko hat mich an super Plätze geführt. Obwohl die Tour eher für das Nachtleben ausgelegt war hat sie sich Zeit genommen mir versteckte Orte und Gassen zu zeigen wo ich super Bilder machen kann und mir dazu noch viel Tips und Anregungen mitgegeben. Ich habe die Tour wirklich genossen und wunderschöne Plätze gesehen die ich selbst nicht gefunden hätte. I booked the tour at short notice because I was fascinated by the evening lights and impressions of Japan. My tour guide, Fumiko, took me to some amazing places. Although the tour was more focused on the nightlife, she took the time to show me hidden spots and alleys where I could take great photos and gave me lots of tips and suggestions. I really enjoyed the tour and saw beautiful places I wouldn\'t have found on my own.

Pam was an amazing guide and listened to our interests. She watched out for us (like when crossing streets) and we felt very cared for. She shared interesting information about the places we visited and followed up with customized recommendations for the rest of our trip.

Everything about this tour was excellent. Easily one of the best tours I’ve ever been on (if not THE best tour) in the over 50+ countries I’ve traveled to. Milo was a well-versed guide, not only with knowledge on the historical aspects on Japan, but also amazing local recommendations. Truly could not recommend this tour and Milo enough.
