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!

Our guide was terrific! I was not able to give direction before the tour. Louis was able to create a great tour on the fly. We wanted to try soufle pancakes. He even for that in! Loved it!

Loys was absolutely amazing, very friendly and knowledgable and took us to great places. Highly recommended!

We did a 9 hour Nara day trip with Fumiko on 4/9. She was great-- we switched hotels and she was flexible in picking us up at our new hotel lobby. She was knowledgeable about the sites visited, navigated the train system for us, and was patient with our souvenir shopping and perusing during the entire day. We had a great time and I would highly recommend. We saw the Nara deer, Todai-iji temple, did some shopping in downtown Nara, and a sake tasting. She was great at personalizing our itinerary to our desired activities.

This tour will take you away from all the big touristic places and bring you deep into de real Japanese way of eating. We wondered true the night and stopped at several cool and authentic places

Had a great time on the tour with Taku. He did a great job and showed us lots of great food and history of Osaka. We would book again.
