Osaka Walking Tour to Osaka Castle, Umeda Sky Building and Aqua Liner Cruise
Overall Rating
4.33
The guide's English was difficult to understand, He was not informative and on the boat cruise fell asleep, instead of providing us with a running documentary what we were seeing.
Reviewed by: Alena Hughes, 2019/05/24I booked the Osaka walking tour through Veltra, but it was run by the Sunrise Tours
It was a full day walking tour . As there were quite a few participants, there were 2 groups A and B. I was in a group B.
Travelled on train and metro .. which, without the knowledge of Japanese would have been quite difficult as it is a maze and all signage in Japanese.
The tour guides’’s English was difficult to understand, he lead us through the warren of passageways well but thats where his “knowledge” seemed to end. He did not talk to us about the history or divulge any relevant information. I compared our tour guide with the Group A guide as our pathways crossed and there was a marked difference, The group A guide was explaining and talking to the group incessantly.
The lunch was pleasant, but being in Japan I hoped for a typical Japanese fare and not a European Cuisine Nuvelle.
I was extremely dissatisfied with our tour guide and I am afraid at the end of the day, the sentiment of other participants was very similar to mine. The tour certainly was not worth A$198.

Ge=reat way to see Osaka
Reviewed by: rckwu, 2015/04/19I enjoyed my tour and the highlight was Osaka Palace. it was cherry blossom season and the feeling was magical. the tours was at a good pace. I enjoyed it more than a bus tour. the observation tower and the cruise was also most enjoyable. Osaka is a big place the subways are complicated. this is a good way to see some key sites within reach. the lobby of the Granvia hotel is not easy to locate so start early.
