On my recent trip to Japan, I had the pleasure of going on a guided tour of Osaka with Hiroki. He was very patient and took the time to carefully customise our tour for an unforgettable experience in Osaka. He also accommodated our schedule for the visit to Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan. Hiroki's tour was well-organised, with timely pickups and comfortable transportation between locations, allowing for a more personalised experience. He also ensured ample time was given at each stop to explore, take photos, and enjoy the surroundings without feeling rushed. This tour of Osaka was a perfect blend of food and modern city life. It was so much fun, providing a unique experience of why Osaka is such a beloved destination. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveller, this tour offers something for everyone. I highly recommend Hiroki's Osaka tour to anyone looking to experience the city's heart and soul. Hiroki personalised tour is a fantastic way to see the major sights, learn about local culture, and make lasting memories. Osaka's charm and Hiroki's excellent tour guide made this an exceptional part of my Japan trip.
I am so glad to meet with a wonderful family. I am happy that you were enthusiastic about fishing in the fish pond. I wish this tour would have been a good memory for all of you. Please come back to Japan anytime. Thank you very much.
Dear Hiroki San, Thank you so much for the amazing tour in Kobe! Your exceptional attention to detail and insights allowed us to see everything we wanted without any hassle from start to finish and it made our trip both enjoyable and memorable. I truly appreciated that we were able to customize our tour to what we wanted to see and experience. Your preparation, organizational skills and flexibility were evident throughout the entire tour. Also, I appreciated you taking your personal time to research and answer all of my inquiries. Thank you once again for fantastic tour!
Thank you, Vivian. I also enjoyed the time with you all. I hope you will come back to Japan in the future. Thank you very much.
Hiroki took me on a private half-day tour of Osaka highlights, including Osaka Castle. He’s very knowledgeable and personable, so a complete joy to act as a representative of this bustling city. Since I didn’t have the time today to go inside the castle, he kindly arranged for me to “skip” the long ticket line by purchasing a ticket for me online, then emailing it to my phone for use the next day or two. He also explained where I should enter the shorter queue and show the QR code for quick admission…perfect!
Thank you for using my service. I believe you could get to the bars without lost yesterday. It was a wonderful day. Thank you! Enjoy staying in Japan. I hope you will make new discoveries on this trip. I hope you take care of your health. Hiroki
Hiroki is a very friendly and very knowledgeable guide. We loved the 2 food tours we did with him and visiting behind the scenes of Osaka! Definitely dined and enjoyed sights that we wouldn't have discovered on our own! We highly recommend him.
Thank you for the wonderful time. I also enjoyed spending time with you guys in Osaka. I hope you are coming back to Osaka again to get to know Osaka better. Thank you!! Have a great time in Kanazawa!! Hiroki
