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

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.

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.

Of the many tours I took this was the most unsatisfying - but that is my fault for not doing the research first. When i spoke with an Osaka resident the day before the tour he asked 'Why?'.
The guide was great and did his best but quite simply Osaka just isn't a city that has enough to organise a tour around! There are no 'stunning views' from what is now just a 'quite high' office building... The 'castle' is a museum built 50 years ago and the river cruise shows you nothing.
