5.00Had a good time with our tour guide. It was interesting to see how vastly different the streets and alleys of Osaka look and feel. As if it is like different cities altogether. It was nice seeing these places! The 4 hour tour is a good amount of time to look around and then the later half to further check out other areas that were recommended.

5.00My wife and I really enjoyed our 4-hour walking tour with our guide Max. He was punctual, knowledgeable, and pleasant, easy to talk to. He had a great path laid out for us and we got to see some of the exciting busier street with shops and supermarkets, as well as a walk to Osaka Castle and through the park. A very nice taste of Osaka. Max guided us through public transportation with ease, and gave excellent recommendations on where to sample local cuisine and even dropped us off at a Sukiyaki restaurant on request right inside Osaka station. Would recommend this tour and Max. We logged over 20,000 steps walking on our particular tour.

5.00We had the absolute pleasure of experiencing a personalized walking tour of Osaka with Maria, and it was truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, Maria impressed us with her deep knowledge of Osaka’s history and culture. She didn’t just share facts—she brought the city to life with engaging stories and insights that gave us a much richer appreciation of everything we were seeing. It was my husband, my daughter, and myself on the tour, and Maria made each of us feel included and cared for. She has such amazing energy—warm, considerate, and incredibly mindful of our pace and interests. We even threw in a few last-minute requests, and Maria effortlessly went with the flow, tailoring the experience perfectly to us. What really stood out is how genuine and passionate Maria is about what she does. She isn’t just a guide; she’s a connector who makes you feel like you’re exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend. We can’t recommend Maria enough. If you’re visiting Osaka and want a tour that’s thoughtful, flexible, and full of insight, Maria is the one to choose. She made our time in the city so special, and we’ll carry these memories with us forever.
