Can someone recommend a tour guide for a 1-day tour of Osaka highlights?
TIA
Hi Tia, I come across this site called 'Viator.com' who basically specialise in sightseeing excursions in loads of countries around the world. It looks like they have a few day excursions from Osaka, including walking tours. Hope this helps, here is their link:

I'd hoped to be able to travel to all of the competing cities for the 2008 Olympic Games during my trip - Toronto (home), Osaka, Beijing, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Istanbul, Cairo, Paris and Seville, but circumstances left me hanging without a thread after Japan, so I had to leave the Asian Rim, then when I reached Europe, I got centralized, and couldn't reach the eastern or western cities... ah, well... maybe in another 8 or 12 years...
This is the main international gateway to the Kansai region: Osaka and Kyoto. It is linked by several railway lines, eg. JR West Japan (Haruka Express) and Nankai private lines. It is built on a man-made island in the heart of Osaka Bay.
Most departmentstores has restaurants inside. So if you get hungry during shopping just go the restaurant floor. Most times it is one of the upper floors. And on this floor there are several small restaurants. When you go during lunchtime or at peaktime at night, you will sure encounter waiting people. Usually there are chairs in front of the restaurant where you can wait in line. Each time a table gets free, the enttire row is moving a few chairs towards the entrance.
Climb the Umeda Sky Bulding, entry is about 700 yen but once on the top you can join a great view of the city. In the underground floors there a reconstruction of the ancient japan, with a lot of little restaurants.
Nice view on the city and hanging escalators.
The OBP (Osaka Business Park) was designed to be a center of culture and information communications in Osaka in the 21st century. Attractions of the OBP include the International Marketplace in the Matsushita IMP Building, where visitors can buy brand-name goods from around the world, and dine at various ethnic restaurants; Twin 21, a high-rise featuring Panasonic Square, an amusement section; and the MID Tower, with an observatory (on its 38th floor) commanding views of Osaka
