Steven is a very pleasant guide who takes the time to explain the tips and tricks of each neighborhood. He knows how to understand your expectations and meet them brilliantly. Kudos for his great mood and constant smile. A wonderful tour that I highly recommend!

We had a fun tour with our guide Takeshi. He showed us areas which we normally wouldn't know about or find out. He gave us some useful tips and some historical facts. We had this tour the day after our arrival! Recommended if you are for the first time in Japan!

If you're on the fence about doing a Go-kart tour, go ahead and do it! Since these karts are electric, they are much quieter and do not emit fumes that you will have to breathe in from the karts in front of you. The tour guide was super nice and took lots of photos, and was great about pointing out interesting sights along the way. This was also the only tour I could find where we were able to see the usual sites but also took us to Osaka Castle (we opted for the 2-hour tour). Since the kart is a 2-pedal system (right gas, left brake) it takes a little bit of getting used to, and also the turn signals don't automatically turn off so you have to rememer to manually turn them off after each turn. You do drive on real roads with regular traffic so if you are not comfortable driving in the city you may want to think about this. The costumes add to the fun and there were lots of people who waved at us and toook our pictures. You won't regret this!

I had two teenage boys and they enjoyed it a lot. we really liked having a Japanese guide. it was like going out with Auntie. the tour was flexible so we took extra time in one area which limited time in others. there was an option to extend time which was nice if you want to stop along the way. My only reason for doing 4/5 for value is it is labeled as a food tour but no food was included in the cost. It’s really a guided market tour. Well worth the cost for a guide because the markets are like a maze and Google/Apple maps aren’t great navigating markets or recommending best places to try speciality foods. I’d recommend for families or anyone who can get overwhelmed by the hundreds of options. total necessity in the heat of summer to have a guide.

We had a wonderful time; the guide was amazing, and the people we toured with were absolutely lovely. We really got to know the Japanese food culture right on our first stop on this trip. Thank you so much to the team

Ryo was a great guide! He shared interesting stories as we walked around and used his iPad to highlight certain things. Engaging guide and willing to share stories about his life in Japan. Woukd recommend!
