Maria was an amazing tour guide. She was very flexible and catered to our preferences. We had our young kids with us who easily became tired as the heat got worse during the middle of the day. She was able to pivot and take us to an indoor museum of old Osaka. Our youngest was able to wear a kimono during that visit and she absolutely loved it. We definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Osaka.

We had a wonderful start of our trip with our guide Kay. He was super nice, showed us how to use the metro, get our cards, in a quick and simple way then showed us a great mix of nature, temples and bustling streets and the side ones we should visit! We recommend him to anyone who wants a positive, kind and enthusiastic guide in Tokyo! Thanks, Kay!

Our guide, Kenta, is knowledgeable, personable, and professional. He showed us Gion District and Kenninji Temple in a two-hour tour. Because of my bad knees, he met us at our hotel. He grew up in the United States, communicating in English is not a problem at all. Highly recommend him!

A good guide is prepared to show you the highlights of an area. Christine did that and more while she anticipated questions, listened carefully and took the visitor to see unique and out of the way sites which resulted in an even better tour.
