"We spent a beautiful day in Osaka with Jessica. We covered a lot of ground. From the Shitennoji Temple to the Shin Sekai neighborhood to the the Osaka Castle. Jessica is very knowledgeable about Japan's history and culture. She is extremely personable and has a great sense of humor.
We enjoyed our visit very much!"
"We were a group of two families travelling together for the first time to Osaka. I cannot recommend Naoki enough! It was a fabulous introduction to the culture and food of Japan. Naoki has excellent English and was extremely knowledgeable but also made the tour fun for the teenagers. Don’t hesitate to hook this. Excellent experience. "
"Jessica nailed it with us. 100% exactly what we wanted and adapted on the fly to things we asked for or expresses interest. Her knowledge and insights made our tour the most memorable of our trip to Japan! "
"We had a wonderful 5 hour Osaka tour with Naoki who struck the right balance between being informative and charming. We hit all the high spots in Osaka - literally with the sky tower and castle and also with the fun of local places to eat, particularly many of the delights of the fish market. Naoki was an exceptional guide and clearly a warm and engaging person. You won’t regret asking him to guide you around Osaka. "
"Both my wife and me had an incredible tour with our brilliant host Naoki, who had a fantastic sense of humour as well. We'd asked for an off the beaten path of Osaka and oh did Naoki deliver!! We saw areas and local spots that we'd not have found in a million years, getting to see the temple that arranges the yearly fireworks festival and hearing awesome facts that we'd never have known, truly made us feel special. We can't recommend Naoki enough and hope to get to meet again!! "
"We couldn’t have asked for a better guide for a day in Osaka. Naoki is a delightful person, and speaks perfect English. And he is a true local. He has a great understanding of history as well as current culture and politics. He was wonderful in answering our questions, and showing us things that were particular to our interests. He showed us so many iconic as well as unusual places, and had so many interesting stories. We highly recommend him!"
"Hiromi is such a Lovely Person
We Head so much fun with her and it was super interesting. My boys 16 & 20 were also enthusiastic about the Time with hiromi "
"My friends and I had a great time with Hiromi. We booked the 5-hour Essential Osaka Tour, and it was a great introduction to Osaka's many faces.
We started out with a 360 degree view of the city at Umeda Sky Building; commuted like locals on the train; learned about history at the Osaka Castle grounds; visited a couple of temples and shrines; took photos of the oldest company in the world; ventured to the touristy spots in Tennoji; and ate delicious local snacks. Hiromi is a good communicator, very knowledgeable about Osaka and Japanese culture, and there was never a dull moment with her. We chatted and laughed like old friends. I highly recommend her as your tour guide!"
"Naoki was such a great tour guide! He is very personable, speaks good English, very accommodating, and informative of the areas we toured. His tour that he did with us was fun because he mixed in the culture of Osaka and the local food. I highly recommend Naoki for your tour of Osaka."
"We had a wonderful afternoon with Pere doing the Street Food Tour. He has such a great interest in all things food and took us to sample so many great foods. Pere is very discerning with his recommendations so you will eat very well and enjoy the whole experience! We wouldn't have been able to see and eat so much good food without him :) "
