Highlight tour with Thomas
We did our tour with Thomas, who was an incredible tour guide. He picked us up promptly at the cruise ship, and we drove to Osaka. He speaks multiple languages, but his English was perfect. We went to the castle, a beautiful Shinto shrine, and then explored the streets and alleyways of Osaka. We had a delicious lunch and snacks along the way. He has so much knowledge and we learned so much , mixed in with humor and fun.
We returned to the ship with plenty of time. I would highly recommend this tour, especially with Thomas.
