Great experience from beginning to end - Great experience from beginning to end! Our tour guide (Justin) walked us through the busy, crowded night streets and made sure we didn’t miss any important details or great photo ops. The food, like the hospitality, is a definite 10 out of 10. Then, at the end of our tour, Justin took the time to help us navigate through the complicated subway system to arrive safely at our hotel on our first night in Osaka.

Osaka food tour - Great experience. Got to see some really interesting and different spots rather than the standard tourist things. The takoyaki was so tasty. Thanks to our guide - T. He was excellent.

Great tour! - Very cool tour and dinner at different spots with our guide, Jimmy! We were not there during a peak season, so it was just us 3, which ended up being so fun. We really got to know Osaka and Jimmy

Tasty and wonderful experience - From delicious restaurants to traversing the alleys of Osakas shopping district, the tour is more than meets the tastebud! I had the pleasure of experiencing Osakas food and shopping culture in a way I would not think possible without this tour. My tour guide was Kiyomi, and I cannot begin to recommend her enough! She didn’t just lead me to delicious destinations, she also brought me to shops less seen and walkways less traveled, all while packing the tour with so much during the limited time that was available. Overall this tour was an immersive, engaging, and amazingly enjoyable experience I will never forget!

Wonderful Guide and Experience - My husband and I had a wonderful time with Yuma as our guide. He was funny and very personable. The food was amazing and he explained how to eat it (foodies will understand). We enjoyed learning about the history of Osaka and it added to the experience. Going at night was stunning with all the lighted signs in the area. It was so much fun getting a tour from someone who grew up in Osaka and truly knew the area! We loved the tour and highly recommend it to anyone who loves food and history.
