We enjoyed having our own personal tour guide (Keiko) to show us places we might have missed if we were on our own, especially the small shops on the quiet back roads. Good selection of food choices in Yanaka Ginza--we were stuffed at the end. We also appreciated small touches such as our guide providing a bag for our trash and hand wipes for our sticky hands. Overall, the pacing and time allotted for this tour was just right.

Our guide, Russ, was very knowledgeable and, true to his Welsh roots, he entertained us with many fun stories and anecdotes about both the old and new Osaka . Wondering through the streets and side alleys, Russ introduced us to many restaurants, shops, and (yes) even a temple that is also home to a large family of cats. As well, a shout out to Virginia who accompanied us as a guide-in-training. Lots of fun and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to experience a special part of Osaka!
