5.00Yoshi and Kaori were excellent tour guides! They went above and beyond our expectation. They gave us a personal experience on the entire tour and made sure we were well taken care of. Even after the tour was over, they took us over to a place to eat and made sure we got a table to sit. I was so happy we booked with them because we would have been lost if we didnt. Thank you again for a great experience.
10/10 for the guide

5.00Th museum is small in Osaka but it was so cute. And our guide was sooooo damn sweetttt…. Very sweet and friendly lady. She picked us up from the train station and left us back at the station. We were actually late due to our train delay from Tokyo but still she waited for us and took us along without any difficulty .
