⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EXCEPTIONAL GUIDE - HUGO MADE OUR OSAKA EXPERIENCE UNFORGETTABLE! As first-time visitors to Osaka, my husband and I couldn't have asked for a better guide than Hugo. From start to finish, he delivered an absolutely phenomenal day that has become the highlight of our entire trip to Japan. Hugo's service began with incredible convenience - he met us right at our hotel, which was so helpful and made everything seamless from the very start. No confusion about meeting points or getting lost trying to find each other! Hugo's expertise and local knowledge are truly impressive. He took us to incredible places we never would have discovered on our own - from the bustling energy of the fish market to the specialized charm of the Dotonbori kitchen ware district. But the real gem was Minoo Waterfall - one of Japan's top 50 most beautiful waterfalls! The hike there was perfectly manageable, and the scenery was breathtaking. What sets Hugo apart is his ability to perfectly customize the experience. He somehow knew exactly what would captivate us - the serene beauty of Tennoji Gardens, the retro-futuristic atmosphere of Shin Sekai district, and that incredible sushi lunch! Speaking of which, Hugo's suggestion to turn our ultra-fresh sushi into a picnic in the nearby park was pure genius. Eating world-class sushi surrounded by cherry blossoms felt like a scene from a movie. Hugo's linguistic skills are remarkable - he's fluent in Japanese, English, and French, which made communication effortless and allowed him to act as our cultural bridge throughout the day. Beyond his language abilities, Hugo is genuinely kind, considerate, and attentive to every detail. He even went above and beyond by helping us secure dinner reservations for tonight at a restaurant we'd been hoping to try. If you're visiting Osaka and want more than just a typical tourist experience, Hugo is your guy. He doesn't just show you places - he creates memories. This was hands down one of the best guided experiences we've ever had anywhere in the world. Book Hugo without hesitation - you won't regret it!

It is a walking tour, transportation between places to visit can be by taxi or public transportation (cost not included). Hugo was and incredibly kind and knowlegable guide. We visited the castle and a couple of the most iconic neighborhoods (4 hr tour). We had a very good insight of local life in Osaka. Completely worthy.

We met our guide, Hugo, in front of the hotel. As it was our first day in Japan, he helped us and explained how the IC card works to travel by train and to pay for other things. We traveled by Metro to visit Osaka Castle and walk the streets of Osaka. We stopped for some kushikatsu at Kushikatsu Daruma, and learned from Hugo the story about the angry mascot outside the restaurant. I wish we had more time to visit more places in Osaka and learn more from Hugo.

Hugo did a great job tailoring the tour for our mixed group including seniors and kids! We fit a lot into 4 hours but it wasn't frantic. Enjoyed meeting him and seeing more of Osaka!
