“Beyond expectations, Knowledgable, Friendly Guide that catered perfectly to our group. ”
Leo exceeded all expectations, going above and beyond to curate the perfect experience our multi-generational group of 7. His friendly communication throughout the entire process made it fun and easy to simply enjoy the wonderful itinerary he had planned for our group of 5 adults and 2 young children. Our tour provided something for everyone in the group, and though we were mainly focused on experiencing the food culture of Osaka, he sprinkled in thoughtful and fun experiences such as folding origami cranes, taking photos for our group, and even giving each of us a special gift to remember our tour by. He was knowledgeable, friendly, communicative, and so much fun! We hope to be able to experience another tour with Leo in the future!
