“ Excellent Experience! ”

Atsuko was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgable! My son and I very much enjoyed our one day tour of Osaka with her. She saved us a lot of money by finding us the best packages on each stop on our itinerary. She was well prepared, shared history on all the sites we visited, and took us to authentic, local spots for traditional food. Thank you Atsuko!
