Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"This is the first time we booked a guide through WithLocals, and it was a fantastic decision! Max provided an excellent, engaging tour of some of the key areas of Osaka. He was funny, kind, and great company. We would highly recommend him as a tour guide in Osaka for anyone visiting!"
"We had a great afternoon - kalid was on time and knowledge - we everything on the list - he was a great ambassador for the city "
"We were so worried that we were going to be late with a rain delay and miss our trip in Osaka. When we arrived late and in the rain, Jessica was there and ready to take us on an foodies tour and to a scenic spot afterwards. It was a great pivot for what had been a rather miserable day. Thank you so much! "
"We spent 3~4 hours with Maria today. She took us on the train and subway, to Kuromon Ichiba Market, Osaka Castle, and showed us many other shops and food places on the way, dropping us off at a lovely Ramen place for lunch (Kamukura). Maria is absolutely lovely and very knowledgeable, and she was very interactive and playful with our 3 children (14,13 & 8). Would highly recommend Maria as a guide!"
"David is extraordinary-knowledgeable, fun and a delight. "
"We booked Fay for two consecutive days while in Osaka as part of a cruise. She went above and beyond for us, meeting us at the port and guiding us through adding Japanese transit cards to our phones, on top of being a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. The pacing of our days never felt rushed, but we saw the same things as some of the official cruise tours, in half the time and for half the price, while also getting a personalized experience and a private guide for the 4 of us rather than being stuck on a full day bus with a hundred other people. Our only regret is that we can’t take Fay with us for the other stops on our cruise. ❤️"
"Maria was an exceptional guide! She showed us Osaka in a very memorable way. She was very accommodating as I was travelling with my elderly mother & would take us via the elevators and ramps & also showed us Vegan/Vegetarian restaurants in Dotonbori Street, which my mother could enjoy. We took many brilliant pictures which will remain forever in our memory. Thank you, Maria :)"
"A nice walking tour of Osaka. Especially enjoyed Osaka Castle. Maria was informative and friendly."
"We had a fantastic City & Tastings Tour in Kobe, Japan with Pere. He was personable, knowledgeable, insightful, and extremely accommodating throughout the day. Meeting us directly at the pier made everything easy and stress-free. What really set this tour apart was Pere's ability to take us beyond the typical tourist attractions and introduce us to hidden gems around Kobe that we never would have found on our own. The local food stops were delicious and authentic, giving us a true taste of the city. His stories and insights brought each location to life and made the experience both enjoyable and memorable. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kobe and looking for an insider's perspective, great food, and unique places off the beaten path. Until next time, Pere, be well and wishing you and your wife all the best in parenthood! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
"We booked a last-minute tour with Jessica in Osaka and had an absolutely fantastic time. She did an excellent job planning activities that kept both the adults and children engaged and entertained throughout the day. Her knowledge of the area was outstanding, and she shared great local insights that made the experience even more enjoyable. Jessica was flexible, personable, and made everything feel effortless despite the short notice. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fun, well-organized, and family-friendly tour in Osaka!"
