This tour was exactly a different kind of tour I wanted to experience. Personally, I'm not interested in widely known history as it's something I can read from books. I wanted the information that can't be found in books, I wanted real people's stories, I wanted to know what was hidden beneath all the flashing lights and giant sculptures. I got even more than that. Adam, our guide, was so knowledgeable and so real, he elevated the whole experience to another level. The effort he put into researching and creating this unique tour is outstanding. He's a brilliant storyteller and the love and care and effort shows in every word. The restaurant we went to for dinner had delicious food, amazing staff, but the story of why it was chosen, is even better. You should discover it yourself on the next tour.
See another side of Osaka for the wide-angle view!

Brian is an amazing guide, rock on, dude! We toured an area of Osaka we would have never found by ourselves and Brian, with his in-depth knowledge and sensitivity to the residents of the area, gave us a nuanced portrait of the area, the culture, and the history that will stay with us long after we return home. Clear-eyed and humorous, you will get a more complex, and more complete view of Osaka! Take this tour - you will learn much! And if Brian is your guide, you’ve hit the jackpot! Rock on!

Dillon was a great guide who showed us some of the must-see spots in Osaka. He was friendly, informative, and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge. He answered all of our questions, especially those about the red light district, with honesty and insight. We enjoyed a snack and drink during the tour, followed by a delicious dinner at a local spot. Overall, a fun and memorable experience.
