5.00Jesse is a rockstar, made us feel like we were locals and took us down some alleys to see hidden gems we would NEVER have seen without someone guiding us. 10/10 this should be a must do for any first timer in Osaka.
Fantastic Experience

5.00This tour was fantastic. Our guide Paul was so warm, welcoming, and fun, and he taught us a ton over the course of the night. We had a blast and felt like it was a super insightful experience at the same time. Would recommend this tour to everyone!

5.00Jesse was a great guide and we saw places I am sure we would not have seen without this tour. Great way to get some food and drinks and experience some Osaka locations frequented by locals.
Ignorant Tour Guide

2.00Ignorant foreigner tour guide. Kept talking bad about Tokyo and comparing it to Osaka just because I told him I spent most of my time there out of my 3 trips to Japan and made me feel stupid in front of the other clients on the tour who’re first comers to Japan and mind you, this was my first time in Osaka and the first time in the western part of Japan. Seems like he had bad experiences in Tokyo. Will never book again. 2 stars because food was excellent and the matcha and shochu cocktail was very good.
Great Time

5.00My husband and I had a blast on this back street tour of Osaka! Our group had so much fun and Eric was an excellent guide. We learned the history and traditions of the foods we tried, dived into Osaka culture and ended the night singing karaoke until our voices gave out! I highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves food and fun!

5.00We did this tour on our first night in Osaka, and it was the perfect way to get acquainted with the city. Our guide Trey took us to several different types of places, introduced us to some local favorites, and helped foster an environment in which everyone was super friendly. Our group got along so well that even after the tour ended we all continued to hang out a bit longer. This was a great tour and a lot of was due to Trey.

5.00Eric was a formidable host. He was super-chill, but also ensured everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. His city tidbits were appreciated, and the sweet spots he took us to were ones that we would have never thought of (or dared) to go. Great little intro to Osaka!
