    The experience was great. Having an air conditioned vehicle to travel around in during the summer is key. The guide was knowledgeable about the area and happy to suggest areas to take a good picture.

    I had an amazing experience with our tour guide Miss Chan. She was incredibly lovely, always making sure everyone felt comfortable and included throughout the tour. Her knowledge of Osaka's history and culture was truly impressive—she shared fascinating stories and details about the landmarks that brought them to life. It was clear she was well-prepared and passionate about what she does. She also prepared some biscuits for us to feed the deer at the deer park. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, engaging, and caring guide in Osaka!

    Take, our guide, was wonderful. He gave us the highlights of each location and gave us the space to contemplate each one. I also really appreciated the driver, who always made sure the van was ready (air conditioned!!!) before venturing on to next location. Both Taka and our driver were professional and extremely considerate - unscheduled stops to use restrooms. Tour itself was well worth it.
