No shortage of good food! - This tour was probably the most impactful of all my activities during my 4-day trip to Osaka! Kevin was generous with his time, food/drink selections, and his knowledge of Osaka culture. I will be sure to spread the word about how cool Osaka is!

A MUST — do yourself a favor and book it!! - Highly recommend to anyone coming to Osaka. As big back foodies, this experience is a top highlight. Our guide Kevin took us to authentic spots that only the locals would know about. • Hole-in-the-wall izakaya • Standing bar where you have to duck to enter • Rundown of alleyway history and pit stop at the shrine These places will not be on google or tiktok. Wear your loose pants. You are in good hands!! Love from Texas 🤠

Just do it already - Trae was amazing!!! We did three nightlife tours during our time in Japan and this was BY FAR THE BEST. A must-do. Trae is so genuinely friendly and casually incorporates so much cultural information into a bar crawl. We met the best locals at several izakayas and felt very welcomed.

Drink, Eat, Sing, Laugh - Awesome Tour - Went on this tour on our honeymoon based on the reviews and it did not disappoint! The food and drinks were absolutely amazing and we went to places we NEVER would have found on our own. Rodney was an awesome guide and definitely knows the good spots.

We saw, we ate, we sang! - Booked this fairly last min on our honeymoon based on reviews and LOVED it! Rodney was our tour guide and he gave us an unforgettable experience. It really was exactly as described and I can confidently say we wouldn't have been able to recreate that on our own. We saw, we ate, we sang!

Do it! - We had an incredible night with Trae! Truly a locals experience, tailored to our interests. We had the best night trying new food, bar hopping, and learning about the culture and language. Trae was a great guide and made friends with people at every bar. If I wasn't so hungover I'd go again tonight.

Worth every penny! - Rodney was our guide, and he was brilliant. Great energy, clearly knows his stuff about Osaka and has great relationships in the local bars and restaurants. He ordered a nice selection of food and recommended drinks for us. Okonominaki and Ponzu Takoyaki were personal favourites. The bars we went to were tiny and quirky spots which we would never have found ourselves. We loved them! Really enjoyable tour that is great value for money. Would recommend to anyone visiting osaka. It's clear to see that Rodney enjoys what he does and he makes it memorable.

Osaka by night - Great experience: we tried most local dishes and drinks. Worth it for sure. The bars especiallu were wonderful hidden gems that you do not get to see as a tourist.

Must do in Osaka - I went on this tour during a solo trip to Osaka, and it was a great experience. Troy was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure everything was tailored to my preferences for food and drinks. He took us to hidden gems I would have never discovered on my own—some of these spots aren’t even on Google Maps. You get plenty of food and drinks so it justifies the price. Overall, it was a fantastic and unique experience, far from the typical tourist activities. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Osaka.
