“Dont choose Mouloud as a guide”
I wanted to have some expériences like forge, calligraphe, tea cérémonie, ikebana, and Mouloud was not helpfull at all to find them as he did not know them. He has no personal connections with local people, he just make you visit touristic places. He is the most expensive guide we had in Japan and let you find by your own on internet. Prefer other guides that are less proud of their value

Mouloud H.
Thank you for your booking and for your feedback. Prior to the tour, I provided recommendations for several cultural experiences, including a swordsmithing workshop, tea ceremony, calligraphy activity and ikebana experience. I also contacted one of the providers directly to obtain additional information on your behalf. During our exchanges, I clarified several times that my role was to provide guiding services and cultural interpretation during the tour itself, while offering general recommendations when possible. More extensive research, comparison and arrangement of third-party activities falls outside the scope of a guiding service. I understand that you would have preferred a broader level of pre-trip planning assistance, and I regret that my support did not fully match your expectations. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I wish you all the best for your future travels in Japan. Kind regards, Mouloud

“Very rainy visit”
Osaka does not have a history as rich and varied as Tokyo. It is therefore less easy to find facets to share with tourists. Thanks to Mouloud for his support.

Thank you Philippe for your review. I am glad you appreciated my support. Osaka does have a rich history and monuments from the 3rd Century and before (available to see in other tours), however the tour you booked is focused on the modern side of the city for 4 hours. We also visited Tsuyunoten Jinja, which dates from the 9th century. I hope you enjoyed Osaka during your trip.
