5.00Last night we had an unforgettable Osaka foodie tour with Tom. He was a 10/10 with great local knowledge, humour, banter and made everyone feel really welcome. Adding his flare to it was awesome. The difference he makes is all the little places tourists wouldn’t normally go are on the iternary and caters for his group as needed on the night. Highly recommended. Thanks a lot Tommy!
Nick was a great tour...

5.00We had Knox as our tour guide and he was brilliant! The food tour was fantastic and delicious! And we got to see parts of Osaka we would never have found on our own, and learnt a lot about the local Osaka cuisine. I would highly recommend this tour and especially try do it at the start of your stay in Osaka! We were a family of five - 2 adults and 3 teens - and we all loved it! Even the fussiest eater in our family!
Amazing tour, tasty food and lots of fun

5.00We had an amazing time on our food tour, it was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Japan. Dom was an excellent guide, he shared lots of local knowledge, answered all of our questions and provided a lot of humour. The selection of food and stops was wide and a mix of things we had tried elsewhere and were new to us. The group dynamic was great.
Fantastic food tour!
