A + Gold Star - we would defiantly use Taiga again; Taiga was fun from the start of GO! His English was great, he was able to navigate Us through the city with ease! Providing us with both culture & historical facts from each location. He also was able to guide us to a fun lunch spot, giving us the opportunity to taste the cities signature dish.

We had taken this trip to Osaka with our Granddaughter, we wanted a tour just for her to enjoy, enjoy she did! Our guide Manami had planned a great itinerary, she also got along with our Granddaughter who was sad when our tour ended. I highly recommend this tour.

City Unscripted set us up with Angelica. She was just lovely. She shared her Kobe with us and it included everything from the Ikuta Shrine to karaoke. We loved our day and will never forget this experience or Kobe. Thank you Angelica—you were wonderful for our families.
