Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Maria took us to the Shinsekai area where we tried fabulous fried chicken skewers, award winning gyoza and local stuffed pancakes. We also visited the dotonbori district and visited part of an original temple there. We were a family, 3 generations, and a one year old. Maria was patient and took a slow pace to suit us all, highly recommend!"
"David took over our tour at the last minute from another guide and he proved to be the best guide on our entire vacation (we did tours with guides everyday). David met us in our hotel lobby and proceeded to fully engage with us for the next 3 hours. He tailored the tour to our desires, and taught us so much about Osaka and Japan. He was truly excellent."
"Thank you Hiromi for a great day and we all so appreciated your assistance with all our requirements in regard to the trains etc. Hiromi is just lovely we did so much longest walking street which was crazy busy a must see! So much walking we ended in Dotonburri it is a very busy area with lots of touristy things. We had a lovely lunch with Hiromi too. "
"Maria was a gem! She catered to 2 pescatarians (no shellfish) and 3 meat-eaters. She took us to hidden gems and local standouts providing amazing food, history, culture, fun drinks and useful information. We had a blast. It was a truly very memorable day! EXCEPTIONAL!!!"
"Fay was such a delightful guide. She chose thoughtful, delicious dishes during our food tour. Each dish had a story behind it. Fay was knowledgeable about the Osaka food scene and Japan’s history in general. I highly recommend Fay!"
"Our Osaka food tour was absolutely incredible, and our host made the entire experience unforgettable. He was phenomenal—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the beauty and history of Osaka. She took us to so many amazing spots, from iconic landmarks to hidden gems we never would have found on our own. Her insights into the culture, history, and local traditions made every stop even more meaningful. She was organized, engaging, and made sure everyone had a wonderful time throughout the tour. If you’re visiting Osaka, we highly recommend this tour host for an exceptional experience!"
"I can only recommend Fay! She considered the needs of our kids; while still showing us the great Osaka kitchen! We had a lot of fun and learned a lot from Fay, about local food but also culture! "
"Max was really nice to me and my family, answering all of our weird quest About the city. He was very knowledgeable about Osaka and its history, and he was very well spoken in English which was nice "
"Maria is super friendly, laid back and knowledgeable. It felt like I’ve known her for years! She went above and beyond to make my experience enjoyable and memorable. Ended up at some cool bars talking to local people which made the experience even more valuable during my visit to Osaka. Please don’t hesitate to book your tour with Maria. You will not be disappointed!"
"Max is a very intelligent, considerate and thoughtful guide. I’d give him 10 out of 10. We were a challenging group with different food requests, short attention spans and he was unlhased, entertained us and we learned a lot while seeing the Osaka castle and Dotombori "
