About Tour Guide Leo A.

“Leo is just the best”

Friendly, professional, nice, knowledgeable….you name it. We connected from the very first minute. I think he would connect with the whole world! Took great care of us and told us a lot about himself and his country. International approach but down to earth, with several jobs like many Japanese.I have recommended him to friends as he is really a dream of is person. My wife and me loved it! Good Luck Leo! You are the best!

“A great time with a friendly local!”

If you're looking for someone who can take you around and help you feel less like a tourist and someone who really lives in Japan, Leo's the right guy for the job. Leo speaks perfect English, and for someone who can only say hello and thank you in Japanese, he's an absolute life saver for going around outside of the city. He was really flexible with me wanting to stay in the area I was staying at, but was able to make a really fun itinerary showing me around to the local temple, and taking me around the temple grounds. I only knew a little bit about the meanings of what I was seeing, so having Leo to show me around and explain things made it much more enjoyable. I extremely recommend booking a tour with him if you're looking for an younger English-speaking local that can take you around to do things you wouldn't normally think of, or if you want some good company to explore Osaka with he's a great choice!

“Very authentic local experience in Osaka!”

The tour felt very friendly and I got to talk with a lot of local people in a hole-in-the-wall restaurant that had the best food I've had in Osaka. Leo speaks perfect English and helped translate while I talked and made friends with other people. He even helped explain the menu to me and change my order to non-seafood when I was too shy to ask! He knew the area really well and showed me around some popular stores and places, but the whole time he made me feel super at-home. It was the most authentic experience I had so far, way better than the crowded places downtown. For any English speakers who want to experience real Osaka instead of the popular tourist traps, I highly recommend this tour with Leo!

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review!!! I’m really glad you enjoyed the restaurant and got to connect with the locals XD that’s exactly the kind of authentic Osaka experience I love to share with my guests!! I’m happy I could help with the translations and the menu, and it means a lot to hear that you felt comfortable and at home during the tour. Those little moments, like chatting with locals, trying out neighborhood spots, are what make a trip truly memorable, and I’m glad you got to experience that!!!!:):) I’m so happy that I could help you with all of things!!
