Reviews
I had a guide called Shinbu has was very knowledgeable and we had many laughs on the tour. We stop to try food and have a drink. cruise on the river was very good seeing all the light on the buildings . So go at night .
Kenta was an awesome tour guide. He's very knowledgeable of the history of the sites we visited and talked about during our tour with him. He was attentive and answered all of our questions and he was great interacting with our kids as well. He even gave us a recommendation for where to eat dinner after our tour as well. Highly recommend the tour and having him as the tour guide.
Ryan was a delight and his love for Osaka was evident. We were on our last day of our Osaka trip and our guide team took us to all the major stops but a lot of the small things we never would have known about without them. Two adults, two teens, and a five year old and we all had fun together experiencing Dotonbori.
Our family, including our 11&13 year old children, really enjoyed this tour. We were able to buy and eat food during the walk and had plenty of photo opportunities. The river cruise was alot of fun and our tour guide, Kenta was very informative, kind and helpful.
ryan was amazing! so thoughtful , patient well informed and generous! We had a great time despite the rain and I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience!
Fabulous! Fun! A great way to find some hidden gems and see the view from the river at night! Family friendly too.
Really excellent tour. Whole family enjoyed it. Great value for money and feel like we really know our way around the area in Osaka.
We had so much fun, your smile is infectious and we had a wonderful experience. thank you
Wished the river tour had more information or interaction. Was still a good overview of Dotonburi.
