Sivu was the best guide ever. He was so enthusiastic and a wonderful sense of humour He obviously loves Japan I wish him every success in his studies
Thanks, we had a great tour and Sibu was a great guide. Very informative and always attentive to make sure he answered all our questions and checked everyone was there as a few of our group needed more time with steps etc. Would thoroughly recommend! Good luck with your studies Sibu 👍
We had a wonderful experience with Shehab, getting some great insight into the Dotonburi area of Osaka. The short boat cruise at night was a fantastic way to see all the lighted billboards.
Great tour, would recommend for anyone coming
Very nice experience with Raul.
Jesse! Thank you so much. Our family loved your guide <3
He was amazing Jessie was very friendly
Great guide, very helpful, knowledgeable, and fantastic English
Kiki was a great guide. Interesting tour in Dotonbori
This was a great tour, Katie taught us so much about the main strip of Osaka that we otherwise would have missed out on. The tour was engaging, well paced and Katie knew so many quirky local facts it really added to it. Would recommend this trip towards the start of your Osaka experience because it opens up so many future meals!
Walked around the Dotonbori area of Osaka where the guide talked about the stores and restaurants. Followed by a 20 minute cruise on the canal in a pontoon boat. The river cruise guide only spoke Japanese so we had no clue what he was talking about during the cruise.
Raul was very informative and chilled. Glad to learn about the history and past of the area
Raul was the best Osaka guide! He was very informed, punctual, and super nice. It was the first thing we did when we got to Osaka, and it made the trip that much better. He was very interesting, and easy to talk to. We wanted to find some great food after the tour, and his recommendations were absolutely on point. Best food ive had in Japan so far. I would definitely come back, and immediatley book the tour with Raul. You will not regret this decision.
Raul was an amazing tour guide!! We learned a lot of interesting facts about the area, about everything from food to religion. The boat tour was also absolutely beautiful. We really enjoyed the experience all around. Highly recommend!
Our guide today, unfortunately, I just cannot remember her name. She was really exceptional, not hurried at all and she took a great deal of time and effort.
Great tour by Raul, very knowledgeable of the area and gave us lots of recommendations of places to eat
Wonderful experience with a great guide, Pamela. She was very knowledgeable and led a great tour thru Dontonburi!
The instructions for meeting up need to be a bit clearer. We were not the only ones to struggle to find the correct meeting point. As a result, things seemed a little disorganized at the start. The guide seemed generally knowledgeable, but had only recently moved to Osaka, I believe. The tour seemed to mainly focus on restaurants and their history, but there were certainly some great recommendations and interesting facts there 👍 The subsequent boat tour was entirely in Japanese, so pleasant to see the sights, but hard to engage. Finally, I always tip tour guides, so it was a bit off putting to be reminded that the guide was poor and appreciated tips.
Raul was amazing, great tour! I really recommend it , we love the spots and the boat was super nice too, definitely valuable.
Amazing time with Sibu! He was nothing but amazing! Would recommend it anybody who wants to come check it out!
Steven C. was incredible. 10/10. Best tour guide we had in Japan. Very knowledgable and passionate. Made our first day in Osaka incredible. Thank you.
Raul was an incredible guide! So knowledgeable and kind. He had a really detailed answer for every question. Highly recommend!
Jesse was an outstanding tour guide. Definitely highly recommend!!
Sandy was very good and nice! She walked all over Osaka even in the rain.
It was great, the hidden small streets were especially exiting with the japanese tempel.
Satuski very nice tour guide!! Very informative and friendly!
Ryan was very knowledgeable and we had a great tour!
Tetsu was an amazing guide who showed us all the right places to shop and eat. The tour was fun and we learned a lot about Osaka as well as Japanese culture.
Tetsu was a great guide, explained history, told us places to avoid and to go to the authentic Japanese places. He was very knowledgeable and funny.
Tetsu is a great guide, very friendly and out going. He took us all round the food area and explained everything in great detail. He recommended the best location to eat very delicious food and to not fall for “the expensive and bad places” HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Dan has been an amazing guide for us and shared so much during the tour. He is enthusiastic and patient with our group.
Great tour with lots of information about Osaka and Japan culture and history. Our guide, Yu , was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had some rain during the boat trip, but it only made the experience better. Thank you for an amazing experience !
Taka was a very kind person with us throughout the tour, his guide made our stay in Japan more memorable.
The tour was really nice. Raul was a great guide. Thank you!
Pamela was an absolutely amazing guide - she was the highlight for sure! She knew so much about the area, and we learned so many interesting things we otherwise wouldn’t have known. It also was very helpful that she sat with us during the boat cruise portion and translated as the boat guide was speaking. Would highly recommend this experience, great value for money and a perfect introduction to Osaka. 😊
We had a great guide. He has a wonderful sense of humour. He provided great details and historical details of the Namba area. Ian was energetic, friendly and professional. It was a pleasure doing the tour with him.
Taka was very good explaining the whole Street and the culture. Thank you taka
Taka was our guide. He was super friendly. He explained very well. He kept us engaged during the review
Our guide Taka was very nice, real family friendly, and real good about osaka
Nice tour and the tour guide Satsuki san provided us an interesting perspective of Osaka.
Great guide, informative facts about Dotombori from Pamela.
I love the experience. Yu was amazing and very informative, highly recommended
This was a great opportunity to have a guide, literally guide you through the sensor overload that is the Dotonbori area of Osaka with it's neon filled streets, thronging with food outlets, bustling crowds. Our guide, Jessie and American, was knowledgeable, and made the tour interesting. After walking the food area the trip includes a short river cruise which allows you to see this neon madness away from the packed pavements. A great experience. We used Get Your Guide and found the meeting point instructions a little confusing otherwise no issues.
