We really enjoyed our free walking tour in Osaka with Sebastian! He is one of the best tour guides I've encountered during my travels.
Sebastian is incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and entertaining. We learned so much throughout the tour, and he made the entire experience both fun and informative.
His English is excellent, and he speaks clearly, making everything easy to follow and understand.
I highly recommend taking a tour with Sebastian if you're visiting Osaka!

Seb was very engaging and spoke clearly. He had lots of interesting spots to take us to across Osaka that we learnt a lot about. Great tour if you want to learn about the temples, traditions and the history of things like the Glico man. Definitely would recommend 👌
