Walking / subway tour with Hugo - Hugo was very nice. He guided us to all the highlights we wanted to see. He made our first day in Japan memorable and had good stories to share at each stop. We walked and took the subway system efficiently.

A quick visit to Osaka - My husband and I booked a tour with Hugo because we had only 6 hours between arriving in Osaka and the flight to our next destination; we intended to maximize our limited time. We are so glad we did! Hugo's communication in advance was excellent. He met us at the train station as committed and helped us store our luggage. We visited Osaka Castle, he introduced us to the nearby shrines. We then went to the Kuromon Market and to the Dotonbori area. Following our tour, Hugo flagged us a taxi and provided direction to the driver to ensure we made it to the correct airport on time. We highly recommend a tour with Hugo - he shared great knowledge of the sites and expertly navigated the busy city graciously and with good humour. Based on this experience, we will return to Osaka in the future and look to book with Hugo again.

Visit to Osaka Castle grounds. - I had an amazing time going on a three hour tour with my guide,Hugo. Forster went to visit the Osaka Castle and the castle grounds. Hugo is very knowledgeable and told me stories behind the different areas that we visited. We also visited Osaka Shinsekai and stopped to have some very good food. He made the tour very enjoyable. I would request to have him as my guide if I was going on another tour.
