5.00Travelling solo in Osaka and had a great night meeting with a fun group of Aussies (plus one American) and a fantastic guide. Kane gave us a fantastic tour, fun and educational with yummy food! It was great to learn about the 'not so shiny' side of Osaka... While indulging in a few cheeky beverages. I definitely recommend.
Great guide!

5.00A fun tour that took us through the “backside” of Osaka. The guide was engaging and told interesting stories, and we went to less touristic areas. Showed us a distinct side of Osaka that is normally missed by tourists!
Awesome tour. Alternative...
