Josh our guide was absolutely tremendous as he tailored the trip to our specific requests. He went above and beyond as he led my wife and I to some fine shops so we could get some souvenirs. His storytelling about the shoguns and Osaka Castle was incredible. We highly recommend this tour company and our guide Josh.

Ma-chan was amazing, attentive and helpful during this tour. We had a rainy day, but she turned this experience into very pleasant moments, providing curious information, tips of places and gastronomy, in addition to not teaching about the best tourist and historical sights of Osaka

Joey Yonou was our guide . He was very knowledgeable about Osaka and the history of the city. He patiently answered all our doubts while taking us through the Osaka Museum of history. Later we went to the Osaka castle and he showed us many hidden gems of the castle like the largest rocks in the castle and the crests of the family that donated them. He also took us to the shopping areas and showed us the best places to shop in Osaka. Would definitely recommend a private tour to understand the better about Osaka !!
Amazing day to end the trip
