5.00we thought we missed the van as we were given a run around by Google Map to the meeting point. Contacted the company running the tour and was then got a message from Taka san, our guide. turned out that we were the only passengers that day and they waited for us. As we were already in a taxi to Osaka Castle, the first stop, we then met up at the taxi stand of the Castle. Thank you very much Taka san and our driver Take san for giving us, as it turned out, a personalised tour of Osaka. Next is Dotonbori,, where we lunched at a halal ramen restaurant, quite close to the Glico man, then off to a shrine nearby and then to Shinsekai for a bit of shopping and some street food. From a near disaster to a wonderful spring day with thousands on a golden weekend, I can't thank enough for the tour company for a memorable day in Osaka. Highly recommended
Friendly tour guide

5.00It was a pleasant experience with our tour guide, Andy. He recommended a good plauce to est which we enjoyed We were brought to places we wanted to see our tour guide also adjusted to the phase of ou tour since we're both seniors The only fault of the tour is the last minute change in pick up location. Otherwise, well worth tour.
