“Unforgettable Osaka Tour with Rina!”
We spent a fantastic afternoon exploring Osaka with Rina, and I can’t recommend her enough! From the moment the tour began, she was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and full of knowledge about the city’s history, food, and culture. The food tour was a real highlight—each stop introduced us to unique local dishes, and Rina had great stories to go with them. Her city sightseeing portion was just as impressive, guiding us through must-see spots and hidden gems with ease. What really stood out were the helpful tips she shared throughout the day, from navigating local transit to discovering great places to eat and explore after the tour. Rina made the experience feel like we were exploring the city with a friend. If you’re looking for a relaxed, insightful, and tasty way to discover Osaka, this tour is the way to go!
