“Amazing Tour to Nara”
Hiroki planned such an incredible tour through Nara. He organized a craft workshop where we made our own brushes with a master. It was amazing, he translated everything on the fly since the lady barely spoke any English. It would have been almost impossible to organize on our own, and it would have been very intimidating, although she was very nice. We then walked around a lot, went to many different places of interests, everything was timed perfectly. He does the tour to Nara a lot, so he has a lot of experiences on how to handle the deer feeding as well, which was greatly appreciated! Thank you for the great day Hiroki!

“A great half day tour in OSAKA”
On my recent trip to Japan, I had the pleasure of going on a guided tour of Osaka with Hiroki. He was very patient and took the time to carefully customise our tour for an unforgettable experience in Osaka. He also accommodated our schedule for the visit to Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan. Hiroki's tour was well-organised, with timely pickups and comfortable transportation between locations, allowing for a more personalised experience. He also ensured ample time was given at each stop to explore, take photos, and enjoy the surroundings without feeling rushed. This tour of Osaka was a perfect blend of food and modern city life. It was so much fun, providing a unique experience of why Osaka is such a beloved destination. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveller, this tour offers something for everyone. I highly recommend Hiroki's Osaka tour to anyone looking to experience the city's heart and soul. Hiroki personalised tour is a fantastic way to see the major sights, learn about local culture, and make lasting memories. Osaka's charm and Hiroki's excellent tour guide made this an exceptional part of my Japan trip.
