Insider’s guide through Osaka - Maria was absolutely phenomenal as a guide through Osaka! She was so warm, easygoing, and a joy to spend the day with. She definitely knows the city inside and out, and knew exactly where to take us after finding out what we were interested in. We had a 1 year old with a peanut allergy and she seamlessly navigated us through all the most delicious food stalls that accommodated us. Our baby took to her immediately and wanted to spend all day with her! Highly recommend!!

Private walking tour - Tour planned with my sister but she was sick so it ended up being a solo tour. I had filled out a questionnaire prior to my tour and Karin did a great job taking me to the sights I had wanted to see and then assisting me on getting to it next tour as it was my first experience with the Japanese subway system. Recommend if looking for a private tour geared to what you want to see!

Beautiful morning with Mayura - We had an amazing morning with Mayura who provided a personalized itinerary. We saw the Osaka Castle, markets, a wonderful lunch, and local hidden shrines. Mayura knew exactly where to go and made the time spent very efficient

Fantástico tour!!!! - Mayura showed us places in Osaka that we certainly wouldn’t have had the chance to visit on regular tours. She customized the tour according to our needs and interests. I highly recommend Mayura as a preferred guide for your visit to Osaka. She truly makes all the difference. The tour was so enjoyable that we didn’t even realize how much we had walked.

Absolutely amazing experience - Kanna was truly amazing - so friendly, funny, and incredibly kind. From the very beginning, she made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Although the sushi restaurant was a bit outside of Osaka, it turned out to be such a special and unforgettable private experience. It was absolutely worth it! We enjoyed her wonderful energy and genuine enthusiasm to make sure we had the most pleasant time. She went above and beyond to create such a memorable day for us. Thank you, Kanna, for being so thoughtful and amazing! We’re so grateful for the experience and the beautiful memories you helped create. 💛
