Andrew was knowledgeable of the area and the Japanese culture. My main concern was to get acclimated of the area I was in and locating the meeting points of my future tours. Very helpful. I highly recommend hiring a private guide upon arrival, especially if you’re a solo traveler. Two hours is too short of time if you want to go to various sites. Depending on where you’re staying. I was in Umeda. Thank you Andrew for your fine hospitality!

My mother and I visited Osaka and felt we needed a local guide to help us navigate the city and provide some background on the locations we wanted to visit. Our guide Juan was absolutely fantastic. He was knowledgeable, friendly, organized, flexible and pleasant. He made our visit one we will always remember. I wish all guides were so great. I cannot recommend him enough.

Great and time well spent.

Manuel, our guide, very attentive and professional, unhurried and concerned, come to show us the city. We asked him to see Osaka's streets and not so touristy places and it was great. We hired him for 6 hours, and we were able to see many sites. We repeat the experience in Kyoto and Tokyo, where we hope it will be the same. Thanks Manuel.
