5.00Excellent tour. Our guide was excellent was funny and had insights on the area from the history to the customs. We were able to try many different snacks and drinks from Osaka. All the spots were hidden gems which is what we were hoping for. He even invited us to an additional spot that was not part of trip (additional cash cost on it end). The tour and food was everything we hoped for. I'd definitely recommend it.
Great experience. Great guide

5.00Shout out to Paul for a fun night touring the night life and food scene of Osaka. Trying food that wasn’t on my list was fun and exciting. The history lessons and company were even better. Would recommend! P.S. Caters to vegetarians

The meeting area...

3.00The meeting area described in the tour is no longer in existence!! This tour has a lot of drinking with minimal food. Our guide was eating and drinking with us. On our night food tour in Kyoto, the guide said that company policy was no eating or drinking with the tour participants. Don’t know why the policy is different in Kyoto and Osaka with our tours being only two days apart
