Outstanding Tour in Osaka!!

Published on May, 2025

Kiyoshi was a fantastic tour guide to our family! He went above and beyond the standard tour of Osaka. He was willing to be flexible and showed us many interesting aspects of the city. He was engaging, affable, knowledgeable, fun, and an all-around great tour guide. My family and I would highly recommend him. Richard M. (California)

A wonderful tour from a wonderful tour guide!

Published on Apr, 2025

We had such a fun, informative, and delicious day with Kei. While the weather was rainy, Kei's sunny disposition made our visit delightful. The food was amazing, and tailored to what we had expressed interest in trying while in Osaka. Kei provided insights on the sightseeing that were truly valuable in understanding the remarkable history of such an amazing city. When we return to Japan (soon, hopefully) we will be reaching out for Kei's help in seeing more and diving deeper into Osaka! Thank you!

Osaka History Tour

Published on Apr, 2025

Joey was very knowledgeable and was a great guide. He taught us many things about the samurai and history of Osaka. He was extremely friendly and we had a great time.

Great tour of Tokyo with Michael!

Published on Apr, 2025

Michael and his associate were fantastic tour guides. They drove us all over Tokyo, were very patient and informative. We like we saw a wide variety of Tokyo landmarks. They even helped me buy our JR train tickets at Tokyo Central train station. I highly recommend this tour and Michael as a tour guide!!!!
