    Eric 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!

    Thank you, Jessie for making our experience unique!!! It was our first time in Osaka and it was very interesting to hear about the history of the little things people might miss. Thank you for sharing about your personal experience in Japan, and all the recommendation of places to try next time.

    Kevin was PHENOMENAL and we had a perfect introduction to Osaka. The whole experience was perfect, the food, the drinks, the pacing, and Kevin’s perspective and knowledge of the culture and nightlife made it that much more special. We highly recommend and would do it all over again!

    A great way to experience an otherwise busy and daunting area. Our guide Paul was wonderful and really helped us understand more about Japanese culture and history as we wandered the streets of Osaka eating and drinking along the way.

    We had an amazing time on the walking food and alcohol tour in Osaka. Since we were only in the city for two nights, this tour was a very efficient way to experience local food, drinks, and nightlife. Our guide, Trey, was incredibly knowledgeable and made the evening so much fun. We were able to try a variety of delicious finger foods and different types of alcohol while exploring the city’s vibrant neighborhoods. Trey even took us to karaoke, which was such a highlight and made the experience unforgettable. We would definitely do this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Osaka!

  • A great night out in the backstreet bars and restaurants of Osaka
