    We had an amazing tour with Khalid, who is an extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. An immigrant, whose love of Japan is palpable, he provides an interesting perspective. His itinerary included a diversity of sites from cultural to artistic to off the beaten path. He adjusted the pace to fit our needs and is a very smart and kind person. We got a great sense of the city thanks to Khalid. We highly recommend him!

    Fumiko was a gracious and wonderful tour guide. We got many steps in! She was able to accommodate a last minute request because we had inadvertently booked the wrong date. We saw many sights and found cute quiet neighborhoods that we could go back and visit. She tailored our tour for what we wanted, which was to see as much as we could. By the end of the tour, we were getting tired but Fumiko kept us on pace to make sure we saw everything. She had great spots for photos that were away from the crowds. She told us the history of places. We stopped and had a snack and drink. It was a lovely welcome to Osaka that we hoped for. Fumiko gave great restaurant recommendations for other cities. She is well traveled. We recommend her to anyone looking for a tailored tour. She will deliver!

  • Wonderful Day in Osaka

    Chieko, our guide, is a local who lives in the neighborhood we explored thus she knows the shopkeepers and residents. As a resident She had access to the many alleys and backways for a unique look at life in Osaka as well excellent historical knowledge. A very good tour.
