Beyond the Guidebooks

It was very interesting, very friendly. We saw a lot of interesting places, tried a lot of delicious dishes. I highly recommend.

Maria was sooo attentive and a great guide. We had many laughs and great little hidden spots to see and food stops to taste. Highly recommended.

Maria tailored our tour together and marched our pace. We have an autistic son and my elderly mother and Maria was a perfect tour guide for us to see Osaka!

Fumiko was an awesome guide! We saw the historic sites and also enjoyed a more local experience eating tofu tiramisu. She also went above and beyond and recommended places to visit after our tour.

Showed us wonderful sights around Osaka, great food tour as well!

Had a great experience. We were also able to ask our guide about multiple other subjects to help guide us for the remainder of our vacation.

Very supportive of my husband’s needs. Good liaison prior to tour. Very helpful and informative

I had great experience. Khalid is very friendly and informative. Much better than travel alone. Recommended.

I had a great experience with Osaka city tour with khalid. Much better than travel alone..

We saw parts of Osaka we would not have known to visit. Really good fun. Would recommend.

Kalid was a great tour guide. We really enjoyed our time with him learning about Oskar.

He gave us a very personalized treatment while touring osaka. He is after our welfare...always checking if we are still complete in the group.

Seeing and eating our way through an Osaka known by Loys was a terrific way to further get to know the city. We thoroughly enjoyed his company. Thank you.

Very eager to show us a city he clearly loves to live in.

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.

We wanted to start our first day in Osaka with a guided tour to make sure we could get our bearings. We met up with Harhui at 10 am and had such an amazing time! She showed us the small out of the way places that had the most delightful foods and drinks. She also advised us on the best tea to purchase and helped us with finding different places we were told we must visit. Harhui was an amazing host and we would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Harhui for being a part of our day today. ❤️

Haruhi listened to what we were interested in and planned out a wonderful 3 hour tour of Osaka. We highly recommend her as a tour guide.

Haruhi gave us a wonderful introduction to "Japan's Kitchen" on our recent trip to Osaka. Our afternoon was well planned offering us chances to sample several of Osaka's most interesting specialty flavors while enjoying the street scene that makes this city unique. Pace was perfectly casual.....and flexible enough for us to stop as we wished. Haruhi is an absolute delight to be with. Eat as much as or little as you like...and enjoy every morsel. We did!!!

At a casual pace, Haruhi introduced us to a delicious variety of specialty foods as we walked thru Kuromon Market and around Namba, Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi areas. It was a great introduction to the city.

It was a great tour with Taku. He was informative on the places that we went to and he was adaptable with us going off the set plan of the tour. He took us to some of his favorite spots in the city.

Taku was a great guide that was very knowledgeable on all parts of the city from past to present. We really enjoyed his company this afternoon. He’s a really nice guy! An asset to the company!

Great guide Taku, really enjoyed having a tour with him.

Taku did a great job and took us to many beautiful sites in Osaka. He was knowledgeable, pleasant, and a great photographer. Would definitely recommend him again.

Interesting tour of local spots and food with great explanations of the history behind what we saw. Thanks Kieran for a lovely informative afternoon!

Kieran was able to answer all question we had about history and current topics such as the economy and various other more present day topics. We never stopped talking. We very much enjoyed our time together.

He was a great guide. Knew his stuff, and was fun and friendly!

Kieran is an exceptional tour guide. I have been on many tours around the world and this was the best one I have been on. There was a mixup on where we were supposed to meet and he made the effort to go out of his way about 25 minutes to find me. We then spent almost 8 hours together, and I learned so much about the history and culture of both Osaka and Japan. Kieran is Canadian so the conversation in English was easy and understandable. He is also a foodie which helped make our day enjoyable. He is really a nice enjoyable guy.

Alex was fantastic. Very good with the kids and super flexible to their ever changing needs. Also had lots of knowledge of locations and culture which made for some great conversation for the Adults.

With a very indecisive 11yo and 1 super energetic 8yo, doing guided tours can be a challenge. Alex almost immediately put that at ease with his warm and welcoming personality. He was very accomodating of the children’s needs and had some great idea’s for things to do with them that they enjoyed very much. That alone was more than enough, however his knowledge of the area and its culture made for some very interesting conversation for the adults as well. It was an absolute pleasure and I highly recommend Alex as a guide.

Alex was our amazing Osaka tour guide. We are active and curious so it was fabulous to walk through so many unique neighborhoods and special vista points for iconic photos customized to our interests. Alex is very kind, fun and knowledgable. We loved asking him questions as we walked, took the subway, and enjoyed the local sights together. His enthusiasm and respect of Japan and its history, culture, food, and activities were contagious- how fortunate we were to tour Osaka with Alex!

Kanna contacted me the day before to ask what we would like to try in our food tasting tour, she planned our tour perfectly. We tried delicious food and she took us to amazing eateries/restaurants. She was friendly, knowledgeable, informative and professional. Highly recommend Kanna to other people. Thank You for an excellent experience.

Our guide Kanna is very friendly and took care of us well. It was a beautiful Sakura day with Kanna. We are happy with her tour.

Kanna was fantastic! Fun, flexible & so accommodating! We totally enjoyed both days we spent with her!

My sister and I had amazing time. She is so friendly and made sure we saw the things we wanted to see. She was very patient and very sweet. We had a great time.

Hello! My husband and I enjoyed our time with Miki in Osaka. She met us at the cruise ship and we started our day riding the subway to the Osaka station and visited the castle. We did a lot of walking that day and the day flew by. Miki is very responsive ahead of the tour, she’s extremely personable & provided us with a nice overview of Osaka, where she has lived her entire life. We got hungry so Miki took us to the Dotonburi area where we found a great place to eat. The rest of our time was spent having lunch and then Miki took us to the correct train and stayed with us until ours came. We didn’t get to see much but that was probably mostly our fault because we chose to walk our way to the castle instead of catching the little train and the walk took up a lot of our time. Something to note - be sure to bring enough money to pay for Miki’s transportation expense over the course of the day. I was not aware that we had to do that because I didn’t see it noted on the tour description. I didn’t mind - it was less than 1,000¥ - and I was glad I had the cash with me. Just sharing so you know in advance! We recommend and think you will enjoy your time with Miki!

Our guide, Miki, is from Osaka where our tour was. She showed us some areas and shared what she loves about her city. She makes friends wherever she goes. We felt like we were connected to the people and the sites we seen. Thank you for a great day.

We had a number of things we wanted to see and do in Kyoto and Miki tried to take us to as many as we could manage in the time we had. She was a joy to spend time with and we had a fantastic day together.

My husband and I had a great day with Max as our guide. He has excellent local knowledge and brilliant communication skills. He took us to a number of places we would not have found on our own.

He was interesting, knowledgeable and fun. It was a great tour.

Great tour! Max was awesome. I would definitely recommend Max for giving tours.

Saw a lot more of the city than expected in the short amount of time we had booked.

Despite a non-stop tour schedule and almost no sleep, Hiroki was wonderful and we enjoyed the sights around Nara, particularly the "Giant Buddha" temple, Nara deer park, and the (exhausting) climb and views from Mount Wakakusayama. It was a jam-packed day but highly enjoyable!

Hiroki accommodated our requested times and choices.

Everything was perfect! Hiroki did a great job sharing Osaka with us.

We had a great day in Osaka with Hiroki. Having a knowledgeable local to show you around and suggest the best things to see and do takes any stress out of finding your own way through the local transport systems.

Ryan was very professional and we had a fun time with im and his recommendations for lunch and dessert was great

Thank you for your help! My wife Caroline and I had a wonderful experience with Ryan. He was apologetic for being late, but made it up with a wonderful tour and extra time. Warmly, Dan

We had a 3 hr walking tour with Ryan who was an excellent guide. He gave us a very good overview of Osaka with many stories, cultural information and food stops. Very enjoyable.

Ryan was a very knowledgeable guide, who knows a lot about Osaka, its history, food and sights. He provided exactly what I needed for this tour--a great overview of the town and what makes it exciting. I'd definitely recommend that you book with Ryan!

Jan was an excellent tour guid, he showed me around Osaka, and took me to places i didnt know excited. He showed me the historical scenes and food scenes which i wanted to experience . I highly recommend him to everyone who’s willing to visit Osaka. Thank you Jan

Jan was very informative, took us to as many sites as possible in the time frame given, he was very friendly and easy to approach with a great sense of humour.....Thank you

Our guide Jan Michael was excellent and he made our stay in Osaka memorable in our tour of Japan. He took to all the unique shops and made us taste all the items .he was very helpful in shopping and taking us to the right shop. This tour with City Unscripted is the best experience we had in Japan . Many thanks for all. We definitely do tours with you guys only.

Jan was very accommodating and extremely helpful. He did an excellent job!!

We had a great experience with Timea touring some of Osaka. She took us through Dotonbori and Kuromon markets sharing some of her favorite foods to try. We enjoyed shopping for souvenirs and gifts for friends and family. Timea also took us to Hozen-Ji Temple, which was a lovely experience and our son even received a great blessing. Timea was very knowledgeable about the history of Osaka and navigating us through the area. We can’t wait to visit Osaka again.

Timea was very helpful with her suggestions of places and restaurants. Her class on how to use the train in Osaka was great.

La atención de Timea, fue paciente, agradable, atenta. Tenía referencias interesantes sobre los lugares que visitamos y sus recomendaciones fueron de mucha utilidad para disfrutar de este paseo y saber más sobre Japón. Timea's attention was patient, pleasant, attentive. Had interesting references about The places we visited, and their recommendations were very useful to enjoy. of this walk and know more about Japan.

Exactly the evening I was looking for!!
