A good introduction to Osaka.
The trip was a good introduction to Osaka. The trip was an hour long which we found to be the right length of time to be on a bus tour with three teens.
The English "audio-guide" was okay but it would have been better...
Good way to get bearings in Osaka
This trip was brief but took in some major locations in a busy city where others ways would easily tire the most energetic traveller. A bit longer, and include Kobe would be great!
Review on Double Decker Bus Tour of Osaka's Best Sights
I must say that I enjoyed the double bus tour with my family and friends. The attendant/tour guide was very accommodating. The tour is very organised having an audiophone for English translation of what to see and expect...
