Nice little sample of what Osaka has to offer

Pretty much exactly what's in the description. Physical enough to be fun, but gentle enough for any age and fitness level. Ayu was very friendly and informative and if I have to offer any criticism, it would be to avoid doing it in the summer if you can.

Loved it!!

Had a private bike tour, just my husband and I, with Hide as our guide. He was very knowledable, fun to talk to, and great company to have. He was attentive to us in the July heat, offered frequent breaks. The housing museum exhibit was very cool and a great way to break up the heat during the day. The lunch spot was delicious! We had Kaarage, yakisoba set meals. We enjoyed the scenic views along the river and at Osaka castle park. Overall, a wonderful way to see Osaka on our first day in town!!
