"Maria was warm and welcoming. She was perfect to take us around Osaka with teenagers without overwhelming us or the girls. Thanks, Maria! "

"We had a very good day with Naoki, with a main focus on Japanese gardens, which is as we requested. Naoki also went ‘above and beyond’ helping us with our onward travel arrangements."

"Kalid was an excellent guide and host. Chatty and friendly and we were able to do everything we wanted to do, plus a bonus of lunch in a tiny local restaurant we wouldn’t have found by ourselves ."

"Pere is a great person and great tour guide. He taught us so much, gave us helpful pointers and also went out of his way to ensure we had an amazing lunch. I would love to book another tour with him next time and would recommend him to my friends. Thanks Pere for a great day!"

"We took shore excursions both in Kobe and Kyoto guided by Pere. He took us to the best spots in both cities and enjoyed it very much. Won’t hesitate to recommend Pere as your tour guide. "

"We loved the tour we were given by Pere! His tour of Himeji was awesome! He knew all the answers ro our questions and more! He was a local of Kobe for quite a while also! The tour went from a historical fan’s dream to a foodie’s heaven! He showed us all the secret places to eat in Kobe and even told us the secret to distinguishing between real Kobe beef and fake (don’t be fooled 😉)! He was super flexible and a great communicator when it came to planning to join him on the trip! We came from Osaka by train so he even helped us plan how to get there on land! We would recommend his tour to anyone! 1000/1000"

"Pere is a very friendly and welcoming guy who obviously enjoys showing people around his adopted country. We covered a lot of ground on our 8 hour tour, and learned a great deal about Himeji Castle and Kobe itself. I would definitely recommend Pere to guide you."

"He listened to my goals for the day and stuck to the agreed upon plan. He let me set the pass and pointed out points of interest along the way. "

"Naoki took us all over osaka with some great local spots along with the tourist atractions. I hope to return to osaka again and do a food tour with him as well."

"Kalid was a fantastic guide through Osaka! From the beginning till the end he was super friendly, approachable, and attentive to our interests. He has a deep knowledge of Japanese history and culture — he explained everything in such an engaging way and used pictures to bring historical events and places to life. Beyond the sightseeing itself, he gave us so many valuable local tips for everyday life in Japan, like how to best navigate the huge train stations, which made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. We especially appreciated that he avoided tourist traps and instead showed us authentic local spots and great alternatives we would never have found on our own. On top of all that, we shared a lot of laughs and personal insights together and had a great time throughout the tour. We can highly recommend Kalid to anyone visiting Osaka — he made our experience truly special! Thanks!!!"
