3.00I did a tour with this company in Tokyo for bar hopping around Shinjuku which was great so I was excited for this tour in Osaka at the end of our trip. However, the bars were much less unique and the food was okay at best. The tour guide was very sweet and knowledgeable about Osaka, Japan, and Asia generally, but I felt she would have been better suited for a history tour or a food tour as opposed to a bar hopping tour. The first place had an old-school vibe and we got a healthy serving of pretty good food. It was definitely a classic restaurant with people speaking quietly and not a fun bar, though. It felt like a poor choice for a "bar-hopping" tour. The second place we went had a lot of misunderstandings about how this tour company operated and it took a long time to figure out what we were actually entitled to order as members of this tour group because the employees were very confused. The food was only okay, and one dish was actually inedible because of how tough the meat was. The third place was a whiskey bar that had nothing special on the menu or about the location/ambiance that I couldn't find at any other place advertising whiskey around town. I understand that the restaurants/bars are different for each tour (they're chosen by the main office in Tokyo and each tour will be a different combination of places) so maybe we just got a bad selection but as it was, I would have had a better (and less expensive) time just exploring on my own and popping into any place that seemed interesting. There was some good info shared about the Dotonbori area as we walked through it, but I imagine any tour of the area would hit those points and spots as well (a separate tour we did hit the same spots, and they're not exactly hidden secrets) so I would only recommend this tour if there's no availability for other tours of the area. If you actually want to just bar hop, do it yourself for a better experience.
