Pleasant tour of the castle and grounds. 4 hours blending walking and history. Knowledgeable and friendly guide.
Thank you David for booking with us and for your friendly review. We are glad you enjoyed the tour, Osaka's History and Mouloud's guidance. We hope to see you again!
I book this tour for my family who travelled to Osaka with out me. At first I was hesitant because I was concerned elder mother may not be able to tolerate the "walking" however upon hearing her comments about the guide and her experience I am glad I booked the tour. Thank you to the guide for adding the "personal" touch, it was like having a friend in Osaka taking you around.
Thank you Cindy for your booking. We also thank your family for the day and we are glad that they enjoyed the day as we did! We hope to see you again!
