Japan is amazing, full of fantastic places with a vast history. Visiting a place like Hiroshima without the guidance of an expert will take away from the experience. Yuka is a great human being, kind, friendly and knowledgeable, she truly makes the world of difference.

Great tour. - saw all the essentials and more. Tour leader Abir was knowledgeable about the city and scheduled the sights to fit in with interests. Timing and information provided perfect. Was a great day thanks

Our guide supposedly got sick at the last minute, and did a second guide for the tour an hour later, so they combined the 9am and the 10am tour with a guide (very sweet guy) who had never been a guide before. He was french and had been in Osaka for 8 months. The day was pretty much very disapointing.

I really hate to leave a poor review, but…. The young guide, while very sweet, was very inexperienced and ill prepared for this tour. We did pay for her to go into Osaka castle, she then told us she never been inside. We walked a long time to the Temple… through alleys and she had to ask for directions twice. While I understand that we probably spent too much time at the castle… we only hit 2 stops of the 7 described in the tour. Her english was ok. She said she had only learned a year ago I would give it a 1

We were scammed! We received late messages stating that our original guide that we scheduled for 10 AM had COVID and would we mind if we joined at our with another couple at 9:30. Under the circumstances we said yes. When we met the other couple they informed us that THEIR 9 AM private tour needed to be rescheduled to 9:30 because THEIR private guide (obviously a different one) had COVID! To top it all off the guide assigned to us (Paul) confessed to us that he had NO experience at all for this tour as he had not yet been trained and was not aware of other guides being sick. Nice guy but his inexperience and lack of knowledge was obvious. We spent more time riding in trains than we did visiting sites. For example when we arrived at the castle we were informed that it would take more than 30 minutes just to purchase tickets. It is shameful that this tour operator is even allowed to be listed on Viator!
