Reviews
The tour went better than I expected. It was both a fun and learning experience walking the streets of Osaka while listening to my guide Kevin tell the history and fun facts from each place. I learned a lot and I especially appreciate what we have now in the present. Highly recommended.
The tour guide provided detailed explanations, and the itinerary was rich and varied.
