Osaka Tour Reviews
“Una piacevole passeggiata in mezzo ai cerbiatti”
Makoto è stata una guida tranquilla e premurosa, al nostro arrivo ci ha fornito ad ognuno di noi le copie del percorso, spiegandocelo minuziosamente. Inoltre ci ha fornito di un utilissimo ventaglio per sopportare meglio il caldo. E’ stata una giornata davvero piacevole.

“Exceptional Guided Tour with Makoto in Osaka”
We had a private guided tour in Osaka with Makoto an exceptionally knowledgeable and available guide. From our first meeting, he made us feel comfortable and provided us with detailed documents for our visit. Makoto was clearly well-prepared for the tour, knowing the history and anecdotes of the sites we visited perfectly. Furthermore, he was able to adjust to our preferences by taking us to see the places that interested us the most. Additionally, he gave us a subway map and explained how to use it, which was incredibly helpful for the rest of our stay in Osaka. Thanks to his guidance, navigating the city became much easier and more enjoyable. Thanks to Makoto, we were able to discover aspects of the city that I would never have been able to discover on our own. His passion for Osaka was palpable and contagious, and I truly enjoyed every moment spent in his company. We highly recommend Makoto guided tour to anyone looking to explore Osaka in an authentic and enriching way. A big thank you to the Makoto for this memorable experience!

“Great introduction to Nara ”
We enjoyed our tour with Makoto. He was friendly and generous, adjusting the tour to suit my 13year old, we especially loved feeding the deer, visiting the shrines & temples the opportunity to try on yukata. I highly recommend a guided tour Makato. Thank you for showing us around Nara.

(101 reviews)Dear Tamara, Thanks for your nice comments on my tour. I am so glad to know that you enjoyed the tour. I have recognized that you and your daughter are nice animal lover and Origami lover. I was surprised that your daughter arranged the deer Origami, the foot of which was so real. She must have some special talent. Nara is nice city especially in springtime. I hope that you visit Nara again. Thanks again for your choosing me of your guide. Best regards, Makoto
