Amazing Guide! - Absolutely amazing experience, it was such a treat to meet Matt. He’s very knowledgeable on the history and current events of Osaka. We learned so much, and he was so happy to answer all of our questions. He gave us some great recommendations on vegetarian food too! I would recommend this to any first time travellers to Osaka. Thanks Matt, you legend!

Calvin gave us lots of tips and tricks when travelling Osaka and Japan and we definitely took them on board throughout our trip. Calvin was very engaging and knowledgeable and we all had a great time!

Excellent Tour - Highly Recommend - Highly Recommended! Jay was our guide and he was excellent! He was thoughtful (rest stops, bathroom stops), very knowledgeable (knew everything from Osaka history to anthropology to comedy to sports to pop culture to religion...) and paced the tour perfectly. He also made it fun (so you're learning without sometimes knowing you're learning). Before the tour, I thought I would have preferred to have an Osaka native guide me, but realized during the tour that having someone not from Osaka (but lives here now) give the tour provides an invaluable perspective that I can relate to. The tour is exactly as advertised - about 2.5 h - mostly walking but with a few stops to rest and for bathroom breaks as needed. For the foodies, this is NOT a foodie tour - there is a small part of the tour devoted to food. Jay was super-knowledgeable and we were lucky to have him!

Osaka free walking tour - We were both so impressed with our guide, Jay and the actual tour. We saw a part of Osaka that we would not have seen on our own and he gave us so much useful information, history and culture. Plus recommendations. Would definitely recommend this tour. This was a free tour based on tips and we tipped more than usual because we were so happy.
