Osaka Private Tours

“Nikki made Kyoto amazing for us”

We are a family of 4, with 2 teenager daughters traveling from Turkey. We had Nikki for 3 full days and it has been the best 3 days of our Japan trip! Nikki is not only a great guide but an incredible mediator. If we didn't have her, we would spend the entire Kyoto trip arguing between the girls' wishes and ours. Nikki made sure that everyone got what they wanted and planned everything according to all of our wishes. She not only has great knowledge of the sites but she is also very flexible, detail oriented, punctual and generous. She made sure we had a taste of everything. She planned a tea ceremony with kimonos, a zazen experience in a quiet and prestigious temple, she showed us amazing picture spots and shopping gems. I don't know how she does it but she also has this amazing talent to take pictures in the most crowded places as if we are the only ones there. That's why I attached the picture of the bamboo forest- there were so many people there but we look like the only ones in it! If it was not for Nikki I would not have learned so much about the Japanese culture, the food and traditions. I am very grateful for her beautiful presence, her joy, and her incredible generosity... I recommend her to everyone who wants to make the most of Kyoto...

“Thank you Niko!”

Initially apprehensive about engaging a tour guide, our encounter with Niko alleviated our doubts. She imparted valuable knowledge and exemplified exceptional professionalism, for which we were deeply appreciative.

“A Whirlwind Tour of Osaka”

We enjoyed our tour with Atif. He kindly offered to meet us at our cruise port in Kobe to help us navigate the trains to Osaka. We had a lot of things pre-planned that we wanted to see and Atif managed to make it work. We especially enjoyed seeing both the old and new entertainment districts and the markets. We appreciated his insight into popular foods, products and pastimes of locals. Our lunch at a restaurant frequented by locals was delicious. On the one hand it would have been nice to have had a bit more time in some places, but on the other hand, we covered a lot of ground, literally, so be prepared to walk about 20,000 steps! Thanks for the great day Atif!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you both and showing you around Osaka. I’m really glad you enjoyed the mix of old and new areas, as well as the local food experience. Yes, it was definitely a full day with lots of walking, but I’m happy we could cover so much together! Wishing you a wonderful rest of your trip, and I hope to see you again in Japan someday.
