We had a great experience with Trey, who knew the best places for us to experience delicious foods that were off the beaten path of tourists. He also took us to several really cool bars/izakayas that we’d have never found on our own as tourists. We ended the evening at a Karaoke bar and he even stayed past the tour and we all enjoyed an all-you-can-drink (note: not included in the tour) night of Karaoke. Great experience!
Fun interactive walk about town with food and drinks.

Had a great time exploring the town! Beyond the food tour we also got to walk the streets and find out more about the local area and customs. At the end we even ended up at a bonus really great karaoke bar with a lot of international folks. One of our highlights was a tiny standing bar trying some local sake.
Don’t miss this tour if you’re curious about Osaka night life

Danyk was a fantastic tour guide. As a longtime resident of the area and a fun person in general, he had the perfect mix of local expertise and humor. The highlights of the tour were the bars, which can be hard to navigate as a tourist. He was great with my dad (i.e. sensitive to the challenges of non 20-somethings) and overall 10/10 as a nightlife guide. He was also generous with his time after the tour to help us with some other random questions. Recommend.
See the real Osaka

This was a great tour. It took me to bars and izakaya where tourists don't go. People were friendly and funny. It felt like a real glimpse into the culture.

Danik was a great guide. He told us a lot about Osaka and their dining and drinking culture. We also got to try a lot of the food they are famous for. Would definitely recommend.

Our tour and tour guide were excellent! Danyk was knowledgeable and funny. The restaurants and bars he took us to were local and authentic. The food was good and he helped merge the different families of tourists into one group who had a great time laughing and talking together. It was almost sad when our tour came to an end.
Good experience. The vibe...

Good experience. The vibe was leaning more towards nightlife and drinking than food compared to other food tours we did on our trip. Guide Dannic was quirky but welcoming. Good amount of jokes. Still ate a great meal and learned alot about the city of Osaka.
