    Louse was an excellent guide. The places we ate were for locals and the food was excellent. He was very engaging and we were very entertained by his history of the area and the local culture.

    Loys was an absolutely fantastic tour guide, and I can’t recommend him highly enough! He showed me all the highlights of Osaka, including Osaka Castle, a beautiful garden, various temples, and bustling shopping districts. He even brought me to an incredible Japanese curry spot, which was a delicious highlight of the day. Throughout the tour, he patiently answered my countless questions, always gracious, kind, and eager to share his knowledge. What truly set Loys apart was his deep passion for Osaka and his ability to make history and culture come alive through fascinating stories and anecdotes. He had an incredible grasp of Japanese history and traditions, and thanks to him, I gained a much deeper appreciation and understanding of Japanese culture. I also loved that he spoke perfect English and, with his Western background, could offer unique insights into Japan from both a local and a foreigner’s perspective. On top of all that, he had an eye for the best photo spots and helped me capture amazing pictures throughout the tour. He even helped me find unique souvenirs I would have never discovered on my own. At the end of the day, he personally made sure I got back to the train station and onto the bullet train to Tokyo, ensuring I wouldn’t get lost. Loys was easily one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had—his enthusiasm, knowledge, and kindness made the experience truly unforgettable. If any of my friends ever visit Osaka, I will absolutely send them his way. 10/10 recommend!
