Tokie was a lovely guide with great knowledge of the sites and the best food stalls in the market. Even though there is less to do in Osaka, knowledge of the best spots for photography etc made her tour worth while.

“Understanding and appreciating Osaka and Japan”

Tokyo T. is a smiling thoughtful guide, who adapted throughout our day to our wishes while maintaining the initial plan. She was helpful in explaining many points that we questioned due to our lack of knowledge. The result was a better understanding of Osaka and Japan. Her English was very easy to understand.
