"Kalid is a super star! It absolutely down poured the day we connected for our tour, but the smiles, laughter and good times never stopped. It is clear Kalid knows Osaka and took guided me all around the town, keeping us under cover as much as possible while we figured out our next move. So kind, generous and easy to be with. I'd tour with him again in a heart beat. I think one of the most valuable things spending time with him gave me was navigating the train system. The tips he showed me has made moving about the city SO MUCH EASIER! The best! "
"Rained almost the entire time of our 5 hour tour, and it was still great. Fay was so helpful and knew everything! She went at our pace and we did stuff that we wanted (mostly her ideas though). Only spent 1 full day in Osaka and felt like we saw and ate a lot of it thanks to her!"
"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 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!"
"We booked Fay for two consecutive days while docked in Osaka for a cruise. She could not have been more helpful, getting us situated with local transit and meeting us at our port. She has a happy, friendly, energetic personality that immediately put us at ease, and her English is excellent.
The pacing of her tours never felt rushed, but we saw SO MANY THINGS in our days with her.
I cannot recommend her enough. ❤️"
"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 :)"
