      Osaka Day Trip - 8 hrs
      The day was amazing, saw so many temples, the castle, and a great look around Osaka. Lots of great photos with the original Budist temple being a highlight.

      Maria was the best tour guide
      We booked our tour through Viator and were connected to Cities Unscripted. Our tour guide was Maria. She was the best tour guide! She was friendly, funny, provided a lot of interesting information, took us to interesting places, and took very good care of us along the way. She made sure we got to the right train to go back to the cruise ship and ensured that we would get back on time. We really enjoyed our time with Maria and would highly recommend her to others.

      Seeing the sights of Osaka
      Spent a few hours seeing the sights of Osaka with Jic who was very knowledgeable and a lovely guy. I would highly recommend as he knows all the best spots for not just sightseeing but also some of the culinary treats the city has to offer.

      Incredible day exploring lively Osaka
      We had an amazing tour with Miki who turned out to be the perfect guide for us. We had one day in Osaka as we were on a cruise and wanted to cover a lot of ground . Miki totally delivered and put together a great day for us. We hit Osaka Castle but also visited a pop up of a tv set of a popular tv series which was fun to see. We hit the major shopping streets but really enjoyed exploring the fun alleys of lively Osaka . We requested we go to a good sushi place for lunch. Miki worked her magic and got us into a Michelin star sushi restaurant that was a highlight of our entire trip. Miki went out of her way to make sure we had a great day and personally escorted us to a tea ceremony we set up and would have never found on our own . In addition to speaking great English and being a lovely person , Miki is an excellent photographer and we ended up with some great pictures. Communicating was a breeze and we could not be happier with our experience

      Amazing City-Tour Private Guided Experience with Maria
      Maria is the best tour guide I could ever ask for. She went above and beyond in guiding me, taking me to places that suited my preference. She made me experience how it is to be an Osaka local for a day and for that I am beyond grateful. If in the future I'd book another City Unscripted experience, I'll choose Maria a hundred times over because she's simply amazing.

      Walking tour of Osaka
      Maria was kind, interesting and professional- she gave us the information we asked for ad created the perfect one day tour of Osaka… We enjoyed the best of food and enjoyed the sights…. I highly recommend anyone that does not have slot of time to contact Maria and go on a tour based on your choices … it is the best way to travel without having to do a coach tour that is inflexible…the ninja star throwing was great … I hit the bullseye and I impressed the locals lol

      Super interesting
      Maria provided us with a fantastic tour, with some very interesting locations that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise! It was great to have the tour catered to our interests and availability, and of course to learn about the history of the area. Would recommend.

      5/5, Alex had only 4 hours to give me a tour around Osaka and he made every second count. We smashed out everything that I was looking to see plus more

      Fantastic!
      Lay was fantastic, and took me to several tourist spots within Osaka. Along the way she shared interesting history and facts about the city which helped enhance the experience. We visited the shopping precinct and the food markets also which showed greater insights into the culture. A great day and I would recommend Lay to anyone who visits Osaka!

      Fun day in Osaka
      Four of us had a very fun private tour of Osaka with Fumiko. Per our request it was informal and unscripted. It was a nice mix of culture, sights, shopping, off the beaten track neighborhoods, and, of course, food. Be sure to try the tofu tiramisu. We walked and subwayed all around the city. It was a great 1 day introduction. Fumiko was fun, knowledgeable and very accommodating with lots of good advice.

    Outstanding tour of Osaka with Hamed, the tour guide. My son was at the high school baseball tournament, so I decided to book the private tour to explore Osaka and I'm glad I did. Hamed provided me a comprehensive tour of most of the city. Hamed is a great communicator and has an engaging personality, so 3 hours with him was a learning experience on the history of many of the districts along with the back-story on each street toured. This tour was one of the highlights of my seven day vacation in Japan.

    We met our guide Jenny and it was very easy and comfortable from the start. She showed us where certain shops were that suited our daughters quirky tastes. She showed us around the city, where to eat, shop and relax. It was a fun walking tour.
