5.00This food tour was amazing!!! Kevin was such a great guide and gave us such fun and interesting back stories about everywhere we visited. Everything we ate was so delicious!! Okonomiyaki is my new favorite food. Cannot recommend this tour enough, what’s a trip to Osaka without a food tour after all!!
Fantastic night tour!

5.00One of the best night tours I’ve been on. It was relaxed and fun. Erik was a great host and guide. We hit some fantastic tiny local spots would have never known about. A true long time local that knows his way around
More than just a food tour

5.00Our guide Kevin was fantastic. If you book this tour try and get Kevin. He went above and beyond. He introduced us to great food and drinking spots while also being very educational. There are so many little spots in Osaka that you would never find without a guide.
Wonderful experience

5.00Trey was incredibly nice and pleasant to talk to. He was intimately familiar with the area and showed us some amazing places we would not have found on our own. The drinks and food were top notch. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great night out. You might find your favorite bar or restaurant.
Good tour but for younger crowd

4.00This food tour had multiple interesting dishes and it seemed like there was more to try than what was even advertised. We def left full. The other half of the tour was basically a drinking tour, which the younger people in our group seemed to like. I don't drink so stops at bars were a little blah for me. Still we had a good time with our group and our guide (Danik?) who was very friendly and fun. Recommend for good food and some bar experiences you might not otherwise find on your own.
Fun with excellent food and drinks!

5.00Such a fun and unique experience. We really did hit the backstreet of the Osaka night life, had delicious food and drinks all while learning the Osaka culture. Our guide Jessie was very knowledgeable and fun, gave us great tips and other places to check out and do in Osaka. There was never a dull moment and we always enjoyed ourselves and meet some amazing local people who were extremely kind to us as well. Love love love this experience!
