Will I know the plan before the day?

Yes. Once you are matched, you can message your guide directly to agree on a plan, while still leaving room for spontaneous detours and local surprises.

What happens if it rains?

Your tour still goes ahead. Your guide adapts the day to the conditions and knows good rainy-day alternatives around the city.

Will I see famous landmarks or quieter spots?

Both, if you want. Sample stops range from Osaka Castle and Nakanoshima, an island with art museums and early 20th-century architecture, to Namba Yasaka Shrine, whose giant lion-head stage is said to swallow evil spirits.

How much walking is involved?

That depends on the length you book and what you plan to see. Your guide can slow or quicken the pace to suit your comfort level.
