Reviews
Excellent walking tour with an English-speaking tour guide. He explained the historical places we visited and answered all our questions, and he handled all the tickets needed to enter the castle and shrine. No problem getting them because the tour guide taught us what to do, so no long lines for the tickets. Highly recommend 😉!
Very kind and knowledgeable guide! Best way to see the city's landmarks.
What a fantastic tour! Despite the rainy weather, our walking tour was very enjoyable. Taka shared much history and knowledge about Osaka, Japan and the Japanese culture with us. He was very friendly, knows the subway lines very well and ensured we got to our sights on time. Thanks again Taka 😊
This was the best thing I did in Osaka. The guide, Taka, was lovely and very insightful on all the places we visited. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering it, you visit so many places and learn so much thanks to Taka, which you wouldn’t know by visiting the places yourself. Taka recommended getting a day pass from the train station which was used throughout the day and even gets you discounts on entry into temples and Osaka castle. Taka knows where to get the best photos of the sites which was great. This tour is so enjoyable, and the ramen for lunch was amazing. You go down streets and to towns which I wouldn’t have known to go to myself, which was amazing.
It ended as an exclusive tour since nobody else came but us. Our guide was very patient with us making sure we were all together before moving on. He also provided good history of the places we visited.
what an awesome experience! Taka was a delight! He was very knowledgeable and very good at what he does. It was a full day packed with very interesting details of Osaka. We promised him we”ll find him again next year when we come back with our kids!!!
