Kaz is a nice,clever and humoristic guide. Thank you so mych!
Taka was great guide - on time, easy to find, full of stories and historical information - everything we'd hoped for. We only ended up with three people on our tour so it was as good as a private tour too! Really glad we booked the later afternoon slot as the crowds, although still there, were much less than earlier in the day. The time flew past, we could have listened to him for longer, just a really nice guy - relatable and proudly local!
Tetsu was very good and knowledgable!
Ukyo was a very good guide. He has very good knowledge on the history of Osaka castle
Ukyo was great. Informative. Patient and took the tour above and beyond what was originally intended. Thank you for the wonderful day! ALOHA!!!!
