Wonderful tour of old Osaka
Evelyn_D, Jun 2025
Something unique to do, not a run of the mill tour type. If you love history and want to know about the old Osaka , will enjoy this tour. One caveat though- it’s a lot of walking, sometimes at slight uphill or downhill, so just be prepared. Chieko-san gives great commentary and a pleasure to deal with!
Rare and unforgettable Osaka experience!!
Joshua_M, May 2025
Chieko-san was kind, knowledgeable and showed us a different side of Osaka! She taught us about the neighborhoods she took us too and introduced us to some fantastic little shops. Her tour is a must if you're looking for a stroll off the normal tourist path. What an unforgettable experience! Thanks again Cheiko-san!!
