Great tour, very knowledgeable guide (Sasha). Saw a side of Osaka we would not have been exposed. 100% would recommend !

Sacha was an awesome...

Published on Dec, 2024

Sacha was an awesome guide - he had so many insights about the areas that we were walking through. It was an enlightening experience to see some of the less polished side of Osaka.

A Unique Tour That Goes Beyond the Usual

Published on Dec, 2024

I had a really interesting tour! Andy was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable and fun. As we walked, he shared fascinating stories from Japanese history and his own experiences living here, which added a personal touch. The tour included stops at places I never would have thought to visit on my own, making it a unique and memorable experience. I didn’t opt for the dinner option since I had a train to catch, but based on the quality of the rest of the tour, I imagine it would be excellent as well. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore one of the lesser-known sides of Osaka!

Saw Hidden Gems of Osaka

Published on Dec, 2024

Sasha was an amazing tour guide! He was very informative and showed us a side of Japan that we had not seen before. Got to see parts of Osaka that I never would have been able to find on my own.

Brian did an amazing job...

Brian did an amazing job peeling back a few layers of the onion that is Osaka to show us something that, frankly, made our entire trip to Japan that much better. If you're up for it, you should book this tour.
