Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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! "
"Maria gave us a great tour of Osaka and its favorite foods and snacks! In spite of heavy rain, she showed us lots to see and do…. And eat! Everybody in our group of four appreciated learning about the market, the food scene and Dotonbori. We enjoyed talking with Maria and she gave us way more than our money’s worth. We highly recommend a food tour like this…. Especially if you are tired of seeing temples and shrines! Thanks again to Maria."
"We had a wonderful food-tasting tour in Osaka with Hiromi. She introduced us to delicious local specialities and shared interesting insights about the food and the city. Hiromi was warm, knowledgeable and excellent company, making the whole evening feel relaxed and personal. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend her."
"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 had a great afternoon - kalid was on time and knowledge - we everything on the list - he was a great ambassador for the city "
"Hiromi San was a terrific guide for our family of 5! We are not new to Japan, having come over 5 times, but it was our first time in Osaka as a family, and she did a great job of introducing us to Osaka specialties and tailoring her tour to our interests and tastes, including speaking both Japanese and English to our group! "
"We had a wonderful experience with Kalid! He was very flexible and adjusted the tour plans to suit our needs and dietary preferences. He was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun to talk to. We tried the Osaka street food that you hear about but we wouldn’t know where to find the best options or even how to order. He also dealt expertly with my tired, picky daughters. Thank you so much, Kalid! "
"We had a lovely tour. Sho let us tasted Osaka's specialties. The food was delicious and there was more than enough of it. We had nice conversations. This is also one of the reasons we book a food tour: to meet the people behind the city. My daughter shared the same taste in music as Sho, which opened the door for great conversations. Sho was easy to reach via WhatsApp, and arranging things went smoothly. I recommend this food tour to everyone!"
"Our family with 2 children (ages 9 & 12) had an amazing food tour with Maria. We tried almost everything Osaka has to offer and with some secret gems too. Maria was very informative about the history of Osaka also and shared many insights about Japanese culture. I would highly recommend Maria. "
