5.00Our tour with Taku was a real highlight. He is very friendly and knows Osaka like his waistcoat. He took all the things we were interested in and integrated them into the tour. For the places that we simply couldn't manage anymore in time, he sent us exact locations. Our 14-year-old son also found the tour super exciting. Thank you-a real highlight '

5.00A fantastic and very personalised tour. Taku is very friendly and knows Osaka like the back of his hand. He was very attentive to our requests and showed us places we would never have discovered otherwise. Time flew by and our 14-year-old son was thrilled too. Thank you very much.

Insider’s guide through Osaka

5.00Maria was absolutely phenomenal as a guide through Osaka! She was so warm, easygoing, and a joy to spend the day with. She definitely knows the city inside and out, and knew exactly where to take us after finding out what we were interested in. We had a 1 year old with a peanut allergy and she seamlessly navigated us through all the most delicious food stalls that accommodated us. Our baby took to her immediately and wanted to spend all day with her! Highly recommend!!
