The tour was well-organized, interesting and entertaining. Our tour guide, Anna, ensured that we were all keeping pace during the tour, supervising us with care when we caught the subway and were walking around the busy tourist areas. She had a wealth of knowledge about Osaka and was extremely pleasant. We enjoyed the tour immensely. Thank you, Anna!

What a great day!! We were only in Osaka for a day and a half so wanted to see as much as we could and Tim was amazing! We got so much culture, history and food in such a short time that we wouldn’t have been able to do on our own. Thanks Tim for such a fun day!!

Joy is superb guide, providing incredible historical insights on the places we visited. She is passionate about the cities and sites and gave us super recommendations for lunch in Kyoto near the Bsmboo forest. We had an enjoyable time with the deer in Nara Park, and got a deeper understanding of Shinto beliefs and how they impact daily life today. With her good humor, patience, passion and knowledge, we have a deeper understanding and appreciation for these treasured sites.
Great stories
