Great way to see some of the main sites and learn some history - Lovely local guide who was able to explain history of sites along the way
Includes some quick train trips which was nice to rest the legs . Nice medium walking pace to chat and enjoy the sites
Delicious ramen lunch and a chance to have some more snacks at the market if you choose.

Japan 2025 Cherry Blossom Festival - We didn't do the walking tour but did all the things and visited the sights that we wanted to see. We spent 8 days in Osaka, basing ourselves there to do day trips to Nara, Kyoto etc. Then to Yokohama, a must do and of course Tokyo. Wonderful trip!

So fun!!! - The guide was so great, Tata thank you!! You should request him. You see a lot on this tour and walk a lot but there was plenty of time for everything. Lunch was delicious!! After the tour there is still time to go do other things you may be interested in. If you have limited time in Osaka this is the tour for you!! You walk a lot so be prepared.

Excellent tour and tour guide! - Taka was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and took us to the main spots in Osaka. Amazing walk throughout the city and train stations. The tour itself was a history lesson, Taka gave insights on the background of each spot we visited, starting from Osaka Castle and all the way to Dotonbury. Would recommend to anyone visiting Osaka. Thanks againTaka for making our trip to Osaka worthwhile!

Great way to see the sites - Timing to get to Osaka Castle was excellent, skipped the queue and beat the rush. Explained things along the way. Excellent ramen for lunch. Was a long day, but saw some great things, not all walking as you get the subway around too. Taka did a great job. Recommend
