5.00ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT. The team at Osaka Food Tours are experienced, knowledgeable and have a great rapport with all the owners and staff of the venues we attended. Our guide, Kevin, not only introduced us to some wonderful food but gave us a real experience. He explained Japanese culture and history of the area. Had a few laughs as well, lots actually. If you managed to secure Kevin, you’re in for a treat. The booking process, dealing with Cecelia and Andy could not have been easier. They gave fantastic clear instructions of timings and the meeting place. Thank you for a wonderful experience Osaka Food Tours. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.
We had great fun with...

5.00The whole tour was a great experience including delicious drinks, a variety of food options (sometimes it can be beneficial to have a vegan in the group 😉), and some fun facts about Osaka 🇯🇵 For us, the tour was especially helpful to get over our fear of just trying different food options in Japan 👌 The rest of our vacation was so much more enjoyable as we were excited about trying new stuff, especially food 😋 Thanks again, Daren!
Excellent experience!
