It was a wonderful experience. The best part was being able to join a small group guided by the amazing Mao, who, besides being a local Japanese guide, studied abroad and speaks English far better than I do. The group was small (just five people), which made it easy to fit into the cozy local restaurants she took us to. Her personal preferences and recommendations were fantastic, and we got to try lots of delicious and interesting dishes. The atmosphere was great too — it genuinely felt like a group of friends going out for dinner together. Mao was incredibly attentive and open with everyone. She even offered to help us with the following days of our trip, and showed and explained things we would definitely have missed if we hadn’t gone with her.

Tommy was an amazing host. He was very knowledgeable about all the food, locations and history of what we were eating. He made everyone in our group, who didn't all know each other, feel welcome and was great at encouraging conversation. Phenomenal food!Come hungry and do this this tour. It is a must! A highlight of Osaka for us!

I really enjoyed the Osaka Castle tour! Our guide Mao was wonderful — she took us around the castle grounds, inside the castle itself, and to the Wall Museum. She showed us many amazing and interesting facts and spoke with great enthusiasm. She also gave helpful recommendations on what else to see in the city and often offered to take photos of everyone. It was a very pleasant and fun experience!
