Wonderful and efficient way to experience Osaka!

5.00We had very limited time in Osaka, so this tour felt like the perfect and most comprehensive way to see the city. Tony was a fantastic guide—he biked around with us, shared fascinating stories about Osaka’s history and the people who shaped it, and made the whole experience both fun and informative. We also really enjoyed having lunch with him and loved the tea house experience. It was such a memorable way to explore Osaka, and we’re so glad we chose this tour!
Great and fun tour!!!

5.00It has been a wonderful adventure. Our tour guide was fantastic. Met with great people in the group. The ride is what made it worth it instead of taking a tour bus.

5.00Tony was amazing!! We booked this tour after having Tony as our tour guide for the Ramen Noodle Making in Kyoto. We enjoyed his knowledge and bubbly personality. He has very good English and was a joy to hang out with. I will recommend Magical Trip Tours to anyone visiting Japan.
Osaka bike tour

2.00This was not the best experience. Going on a bike tour I would have expected most of the time to be on a bike seeing the city however we spent over an hour at a museum and also at a shrine that we couldn’t see as it was being renovated. Some of the time in the museum would have been better spent seeing more of the city.
Great tour!

5.00This tour was a great experience. Take was a great guide and gave us so much information on the history of Osaka and Japanese culture. The lunch was more substantial than expected with a tea and dessert to end the tour. It was a wonderful time.
