Although our tour guide was nice, she was not very knowledgeable about Osaka. During our 30-minute walk to the Osaka castle, she offered very little information about the buildings and parks that we passed by. And when I asked her questions about the city's history and landmarks, she did not seem familiar enough with the city to give specific answers to my questions. When we got to the Osaka castle, she waited outside, while all of us tour participants went inside to tour the castle on our own. And when she brought us to go on the river cruise, she did her best to tell us what she knew about the sites along the cruise route -- but there was already a pre-recorded tape of a different tour guide blaring over the ship's speakers, explaining the sites in both Japanese and English. So we could not even hear our own tour guide over the blaring speakers. I was hoping to gain more knowledge and appreciation for Osaka by taking this tour, but I think I would have been better off just going to the Osaka Castle and taking the river cruise on my own.

Enjoyed the tour very much, particular the Noji castle tour. Guide spoke good English and was very knowledgeable.

It was a lot of walking especially we had young children with us. It's a good tour to see the sights in one trip.

We were disappointed that we paid about 85 each for a 25 minute visit to Osaka Castle and a boat ride in the river. Part of the problem was that a whole-day tour joined our afternoon tour and we had to wait for them to finish a late lunch. Still, had they been on time, our castle visit would not have been much longer. We would have been better off to go to the castle on our own and explore the grounds and all the floors at our leisure. The boat ride was ok -- probably breathtaking during the cherry blossom season -- but nothing special. Our guide was friendly and helpful, but given the time constraints, couldn't do much about the situation.
