Osaka tour

, Feb 2020
My guide Yosu was very friendly and funny. He was very knowledgeable on the history and layout of Osaka. We went around Osaka station, kuromon market, Ebisucho and dotonbori. He was able to recommend places to see and sites to see while in Osaka. We tried a few local dishes on the tour. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone new to Osaka.

Osaka is amazing
HeleneMarie_M
, Dec 2019
Despite me being a terrible person (I showed up 20 mins late, lucky I was the only 1 in the tour), Yasu-san was very kind & even helped me check my luggage to my hotel (Don't forget I was a terrible tourist). We were blessed with great weather so we went around to the key places in Osaka. We didn't do anything crazy but the place is just amazing. There's something about the energy & atmosphere in Osaka that's very inviting, friendly & hospitable. I got to meet some locals thanks to my tour guide, Yasutomo-san. It was great learning a bit of Kansai-ben. I'd definitely recommend the place & the tour
Such a memorable tour!

I really enjoyed this tour! Aki was super friendly and showed us some really fascinating sites in Osaka.
An enjoyable experience with a witty gentleman

Had fun on this tour with venerable witty gentleman Ichi. Ours was a very small group and so felt like I was being shown Osaka with a friend. He took me to places I had not yet seen (I had been in Osaka for 4 days already) and clearly explained the history of many small streets and temples and gave me the history. I thoroughly enjoyed this time with Ichi.
Response from Host , Dec 2019
Thank you for your wonderful review! It is very helpful for our future guests. Touring with a local guide helps understanding the city deeper and clearer. We are happy to hear that we made it for you. We look forward to providing our service again next time you come to Osaka.
Thank you.

This tour was okay but nothing to rave about. Thought we spent far too long looking at the station. Would rather we were out and about on the streets. Guide did take us to pick up out pocket WiFi which was helpful. Tour is probably too short to get a real taste of a vast city. We went to Osaka castle by ourselves after the tour, it was awesome.

Learned a lot of good info on Osaka from Minako. She is nice and and and provided good Osaka tidbits and that's why I sign up for these tours so you can learn about the city that you can't get from travel books.
Response from Host , Nov 2019
Thank you for your great review!!
She was fortunate to have wonderful guest like you.
Yes, we are sure that this tour is a good introduction to all first time travelers in Osaka. It would be great if you recommend us to your family and friends who are planning to come to Osaka.
Ookini and big thank you.

Not what I expected

I must have misread what was to be visited. It was very kitchy, no historic sites. Our guide was very sweet and it was a very hot day and she did a great job. But if you are looking for historic stuff, this is not it.
Response from Host , Nov 2019
Thank you for your review.
Yes, this tour is walking around the most popular areas in Osaka to know local people's real life now and then. Actually not historic site tour. We are sorry that it didn't meet your expectation. But we are happy to know that you enjoyed being with our guide despite of the hot weather. We appreciate that.
Thank you again for your honest opinion.

We busted Oasay in April after a 10 day tour of Japan. It was an excellent 3 hour tour of Osaka Train Station and shopping district. Our tour guide Yoshi had a great command of English. We enjoyed the tour throughly. Only down side was finding the Tourist information Center. There are information centers on very floor which makes it confusing. Recommend you tell visitors it’s located on the first floor. When we Googled mapped it we were in the right location, but on a different floor.
Great!

If you are coming to Osaka, this tour is a great way to start. The areas you visit would be hard to navigate on your own and know what you were seeing. We had the best guide ever, Kaori. She points out things for you to see after the tour and helps you master the subway.
This tour would be great if you only had one day in Osaka, too.
Great tour to see the tourist sites of Osaka

, Nov 2018
I had 1 day to see Osaka and this tour was great in pointing out the tourist and shopping sites in Osaka. I would not have been able to find all these areas on my own. My tour guide , Kaori, was great in telling me the history behind the items on the tour. Having an enthusiastic tour guide makes the entire experience better. With the knowledge I gained on this tour, I was able to plan out my remaining afternoon self touring trip of Osaka.
Fun in Osaka

Ichiro was a wonderful guide. As it happened only my hubby and I turned up for the tour so we sort of had a personalised tour with Ichiro as our knowledgeable guide. He toured us around the premises of Osaka City Station and brought us to levels of the building which we would not have explored if we did it alone. The Green Station Park had an interesting story to it including the 2 clocks seperately depicting the cultural and financial face of Osaka. This tour is ideal for first time visitors with limited time as Ichiro brought us to interesting places to get insight of the must see sights if one had time to go back to. Highlights were the trips to the knife factory, the restaurant row where we ended up having our shabushabu dinner of Matsusaka at Gyu-nabe. Excellent service and we even got to meet the Manager who was a mate of our guide. We also enjoyed our Dotonbori shopping moment. I will certainly refer Ichiro to my relos and mates who wish to take this 3 our tour.

Excellent tour with Aki and Keiko. We got to see a cross-section of Osaka that we would never have known about without our helpful guides. Highlights include the view from the top of Osaka Station, the water clock , old Osaka streets and eating a 'snack' in this area.
A good way of orientating oneself around this part of Osaka.

As a solo traveller it was fantastic to pick up this tour to get the lay of the land and be shown so many highlights of Osaka in a snap shot. It made my subsequent days so much easier and gave me a taste for where I wanted to revisit. My guide Miss Minako was fantastic, I couldn't have asked for a better guide, she had excellent English and a great ability to balance history and general items of interest to travellers. I would highly recommend any visitor picking up this tour on arrival to Osaka.
