Sumiyoshi Taisha tours

Raul was a great guide! He was happy to give advice on where else to visit in Osaka and Kyoto too which was helpful. It's such a busy area it's nice to have a guide take you around the best spots and some more hidden gems. Since it was 2 hrs we had time to stop and buy some street food which was delicious. group size: 6 breaks: yes

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!

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
