5.00We enjoyed our food tour with our guide, Suga. The variety of food and activities was great. We had time to play some games and even check out a quick magic show for the kids! The customer service was helpful in giving us reminders and clear directions on how to get there. It was a memorable experience that we would highly recommend for friends and family!

5.00Brian was an excellent and entertaining guide providing local insights, tips on ordering food and historical snippets. Lots of food! Start on an empty stomach! The other guests were very friendly and it made for an enjoyable evening. He was accommodating to guests with dietary requests and also answered our questions about living and working here. Good communication from the company on meeting point too. Thanks Brian and fellow guests.
Great food, Great guide, Great time!

5.00Knox is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide and led us through an area of Osaka we had yet to visit (but then went back to). We had a really good variety of local dishes at 5 different places. The food was delicious, plentiful and three drinks were included. A fantastic way to learn about the food, culture and neighbourhood(s).
Great night out in Osaka

5.00If you are looking for a way to sample authentic Osaka foods with the best foodie guide ever then do this tour through the bustling ShinSekai area. The carnival-like atmosphere was electric and Dom our guide was a wealth of knowledge. At every restaurant we visited the foods we sampled were absolutely delicious. Dom had great explanations of the food while craftily associating what we ate to the cultural and spiritual aspects of Osaka. What an enjoyable way to eat and learn at the same time. It was one of the highlights of our Osaka trip.
Amazing food tour in Shinsekai area of Osaka!

5.00Mio was the absolute best tour guide we could have possibly asked for! — she was extremely genuine, funny, and knowledgable. Definitely book this tour if you're someone who might be scared to order by themselves. Mio made Osaka so much more approachable than I thought possible as a first time visitor (to Osaka, and to Japan in general). Prepare to pace yourself because you WILL be full at the end of the night 😁

4.00It was a nice sample of street foods. It was a small group of 9 people. Our tour guide was very outgoing and shared his impressions about being a foreigner living in Japan.

5.00We always take a food tour in whatever country we are visiting. This was by far our favorite. Josh picked so many amazing and different foods for us. My boys and I really loved it. Josh was knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend him to everyone. Thank you for a great experience.
