Review for: Depart from the meeting point [Special tram fee included]

an itinerary that checks off some sights which can be a bit daunting without renting a car. but trips like this makes it possible by taking care of the transportation/transfer. the only issue is to expect some delays esp if the group is big.

Review for: Depart from the meeting point [Special tram fee included]

Our tour guide, Tiger, is a fellow Chinese citizen, and judging by his accent, he's probably from the Northeast. He's very enthusiastic and takes great care of the tourists. The itinerary is relaxed and he handles everything with ease. We got on the best streetcar, and we were very lucky that the weather was exceptionally good that day. The beach was sunny and bright with a pleasant temperature, which was very refreshing.

Review for: Depart from the meeting point [Special tram fee included]

Overall, it was just okay. I was really looking forward to buying some relatively cheap things at the market in Osaka, but I didn't really know what the dried goods were, so I didn't buy anything. But the food in the cafeteria inside is super cheap, for example, ramen is 850 yen, a very large portion, but the taste is just average.

Due to a Japanese public holiday, the tour was extended by 1.5 hours. Our guide and driver worked very hard. We were extremely satisfied with all three main attractions and highly recommend them.
