5.00Davin is an absolute G!! He’s super knowledgeable on so many areas of Japanese culture, not just historically, but he’s also very fashionably knowledgeable haha. If you guys want some genuine recommendations, you gotta tour with Davin!! Only met him 2.5 hours but he left his mark on me and the rest of our group! I can’t recommend him enough!
A great evening ….Eat, Laugh, Learn

5.00I had the pleasure of doing this tour with Scott, firstly Scott isn’t native Japanese but he is 100% an Osaka local ! His knowledge of the area and importantly the local delicacies is top notch. Scott’s a pretty funny guy too so he kept us all entertained with stories of the area, the restaurants visited, the food types we were eating and even the restaurant “Masters” ……this is why I signed up, I wanted a locals experience and got that 100% One very important thing I should mention for those with food allergies or just those of you that are bloody fussy (you know who you are 😉)…..We had a group of 10 and within that group there was a wider than normal amount of food preferences! Scott handed this with good humour and care and along with the restaurant staff did his utmost to cater for all food needs ! ……on a personal note, I loved this as there was more of the initial menu items left for me to eat 🤪 I recommend Scott’s tour and here’s my hot tip ……Try the wasabi salt on your Karaage Chicken (you can thank me later)
15+ delicious apps and alcoholic

5.00We had an amazing time with Adam! The foods were all delicious and we loved getting to try so many local dishes in one go. Adam was also an incredible tour guide, leading us with lots of jokes, and history about Japan and the neighborhood! Overall would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who loves food, and exploring a new city.

5.00This was such a fun experience. Our host Jake was so enthusiastic and full of knowledge. We got to try some of the best street food in Osaka, and left more than full to the point we couldn't even finish. I highly recommend this tour as it was a great time for adults and kids.
Awesome food tour!
