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.
Amazing Osaka

4.00Having Maria as our personal guide was amazing ! Her sense of fun, knowledge of Osaka & excellent english skills enhanced our day enormously. We packed so much into our walking tour but Maria ensured that there was plenty of opportunity to stop for shopping & refreshments along the way. Maria went the extra mile to give us the very best experience in Osaka We saw and learned so much more than we could have if we had been on our own. Highly recommend!!!!
