Osaka Tour Reviews
“Kyoto tour”
We were very limited with our stay in Kyoto but our guide Tad made sure that we saw the main highlights of Kyoto. Tad would have to be one of the kindest and most thoughtful guides we have experienced. Tad has an excellent knowledge of local history, very patient and extremely flexible, he is also very passionate about Kyoto and transmits this passion very well. His great command of the English language together with his professionalism and great sense of humour made our Kyoto stopover the highlight of our Japan experience. I highly recommend Tad as an exceptional tour guide.
“Incredible tour with Tad. ”
We booked the tour with Tad a month ago and he’s very responsive to all of our questions before the tour. He took us through many narrow streets in Dotonbori area and shared the culture and history to us, we learned so much from Tad. We also visited three different local eateries, and they were amazing. Each one gave us a different taste and experience. We had such a wonderful time. Tad’s English was incredible. He’s very friendly and answered all the questions we had. Thank you very much for a wonderful tour, and gave us an unforgettable memory. We highly recommend this tour with Tad!!!
