5.00The walking tour with Kiko was excellent. He walked us through Dotonbori and explained facts about the district. He also showed us restaurants and gave us recommendations for things to do and places to eat. He was funny and very knowledgeable about the area. We ended up at the Osaka Castle where we learned about its history and saw beautiful and lots of cherry blossoms.

5.00It was a little confusing at first since there were so many people signed up and each guide came one at a time to claim a small group. Marcel, our guide was great. The food was good and I don’t think anyone left hungry. Definitely a worthwhile tour.
Great tour!

5.00Excellent food tour and experience! Lots of fun thanks to our guide, Dominic. Lots of laughs and did a great job of bringing the group together - couple from Britain, two from France and two from Sweden and ourselves from Canada. Gave good explanations of the food we were about to experience, the flavours to be expected. He appeared to have a great rapport with the restauranteurs. He was full of helpful information about the local area and about the Osaka area and culture. Left the event well fed with wonderful variety of flavours and food styles and great memories and photos of the experience...highly recommended!

5.00Our food tour in Osaka with Yuichi was easily one of the highlights of our trip. He took us to spots we never would have found on our own.. places that felt authentic, local, and full of character. Every stop had something unique, and the food was incredible across the board. What really made the experience stand out was Yuichi himself. He grew up in Osaka so he was not only knowledgeable, but genuinely funny and engaging, which made the whole tour feel relaxed and fun rather than scripted. He gave great context to everything we were eating and made sure everyone in the group felt included. If you’re on the fence about booking, don’t be..any group would be lucky to have him as their guide. Highly recommend!! Osaka > Tokyo
