Kyoto Tour Reviews
“Fun tour of Osaka”
We are a family of 4 from South Africa with 2 boys aged 13 and 10. Yoshiharu is an energetic and fun guide who showed us the highlights of Osaka in an efficient manner starting with Osaka Castle (he pre- purchased tickets for us saving a lot of time ) and then Dotonbori where he helped us to find a halal restaurant and then he showed us Kuromon street and the food and kitchenware and tech markets. He was flexible and patient and and made sure we were always comfortable. Highly recommend

(36 reviews)Dear John Thank you for your evaluation! I mistook the booking of lunch, but we could enjoy Tofu lunch in hidden restaurant, Wara. There are many good Japanese gardens in Kyoto, from Zen garden to strolling around pond garden. If you come to Kyoto again, you should visit these gardens. Thank you. Yours sincerely, Yoshi
“Amazing Osaka ”
Yoshi had been so excited taking us around the city. He was well planned and prepared with the needed information about Osaka. We learnt a great deal about the Osaka castle plus the other points. He was kind enough to add the final cherry blossom park tour to fill in the time. Very flexible and fun person to deal with . Highly recommended

(36 reviews)Dear Usha I am happy to hear you enjoyed Osaka. Cherry half-bloomed but it was good. I guess it would be good to have Hanami party for lunch if you come to Osaka again. Actually I enjoyed the tour too. Thank you. Yours sincerely, Yoshi
