It was a great tour. Lots of insight information, great views of the castle and spectacular boat ride. Thank you.

Incredible tour with a great tour guide that was able to bring the history of Osaka alive. We would recommend this tour to anyone that is going to Osaka. Very well organized and extremely good value, well worth the money.

A recommended walking tour by a knowledgeable tour guide. Tour guide went out of his way to show us which subway line to take back to our hotel.

The walking tour is great and the tour guide is very friendly. However, the cruise is a bit less interesting

I liked the tour, and the walk was not as tiring as I expected. Lunch was excellent - a 4 course French meal. The guide showed us the old Japanese-style street restos at the basement level of the Floating Garden Observatory building. Might have been better if the lunch is set at a Japanese resto in the said building. Overall, our family enjoyed the walking tour!

There were only three of us on the tour with the guide, so it was fabulous. Her english was quite good, and she was well organised and had time to listen to and answer our questions as well as she could.

The walking tour was not worth writing home about, however, the lunch at the Granvia Hotel was the best of our stay in Osaka. We were rained on at the Osaka Castle and the river tour, but I would not have missed it.

Our tour guide, Eiko San was very cheerful and we visited Osaka Castle. Very impressive. We love the floating Garden too but pity we did not have time to buy souvenirs. The time was so limited and we have to rush to catch the boat for our 60 minutes cruise round Nakanoshima.
Overall, our tour was fun.

Mich, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and fun. We would recommend him to our friends. The tour itself was quite average. The floating garden and Osaka Castle were good but the river cruise was boring and honestly a bit of a waste of time. It felt like the cruise could have been replaced with something better like a visit to the Museum of Housing and Living near the Osaka Castle which offers a combined ticket to both. The western lunch was not a problem at all for me but my husband thought it could have been better.

The walking tour was good. The tour guide was polite and knowlegeable, and he mingled well with everyone in the group. I would say no one felt left out. My only gripe about the tour was its cost. It is on the high side. I took a tour to Kyoto and Nara, also with Viator, the following day, which cost slightly more than this tour, and that one took us to many more places and, sights and sounds. Price-wise, the two tours are not on par with each other, the Osaka tour is very much on the high side, with only two attractions (Osaka Castle and River Cruise) while Kyoto/Nara tour was a full day one packed with numerous venues, with coach transportation from venue to venue, and a buffet lunch thrown in.

EnterThe tour guide was very knowledgeable and his English was quite good. There were only four in the tour, so that was kind of nice because he was able to answer our individual questions without any problems. Having said that, I don’t think that the tour was worth what I paid. We really did not do all that much. The lunch at the Granvia Hotel was okay. Compare to other tours that I took with Viator, this one was too expensive for what we did. your review here.

I was a little disappointed because it was not really a walking tour; we took the subway to get to the Osaka Castle, where we were given only a few minutes inside, not enough time to see the museum. Worse, I was left behind! It would have been better if we were briefed on where we should go in case we got separated from the group like I did. Good thing the tour guide came back for me after I tried to contact the tour operator in spite the language barrier. I was helped by a kind Japanese couple who explained my predicament to them & who accompanied me to where the river boats were moored.
