Abeno Harukas tours

One of the best walking tours we have done. The route (slightly different to that advertised) took us around the Namba and Dotonburi areas and showcased the diversity of all the local neighbourhoods. Our guide, Maria, was really engaging and told us lots of amazing facts and shared tips, knowledge and ideas we would never have gleaned from guide books alone. We loved every minute of the tour and would highly recommend.

This was my favorite tour of my japan trip! The guide was very considerate and easy to talk to. He was quick to update, give facts, and answer any questions. A couple of tips: Katsuoji Temple - if youre going to get a daruma doll the line can be long so be prepared. I had just enough time to get the postcard stamped, few pictures and a daruma doll. Bamboo Forest - its super crowded. I recommend playing to enter the garden inside the garden next door and go to the bamboo in the back. The waterfall was beautiful and the reason I booked this specific tour (and katsuoji). There is a lot of walking so bring water, snacks and some good shoes!

very interesting. i wish to listen to before I come there. when I came and tried to listen, the crowd were so noisy that I couldn’t listen to the audio so I gave up

I was worried that it would be canceled because there was a forecast for rain yesterday and today in Osaka, but luckily it didn't rain while the bus was running, which was nice. They provided blankets, but it was a bit cold. The bus seats were very close together, and the Japanese couple behind me talked so loudly that my ears started bleeding. Japan has the same time zone as Korea, but the sun sets much earlier. At first, I tried to book the 7:10 bus, but it wasn't available, so I chose the 5:10 bus. It would have been even colder if I had chosen the 7:10 bus. The Midosuji lighting was pretty.

it was a really nice experience and good to get all the background information. I would strongly recommend it over trying it on your own

this is the very first time that we booked this kind of service. this is aint cheap but worth the money. the driver is professional and on time. he picked us up from our hotel and drop us again in the same location in the evening. the vehicle is clean and comfortable. we communicated to the driver via viber. we really enjoyed this day in Kyoto and Nara. i will booked this again the next time I have guests who wanted to visit Kansai.

The experience was great, however, the ticket itself was printed with a price of only 5000 yen, yet I paid 18000 yen. The orientation and free items (fan, brochure) don’t seem to justify the markup. The guide also got a little lost trying to find our seats.

Had a super time with Nic! All the shared anecdotes and his advice really enhanced our stay in Osaka.
