5.00Our tour guide, Mario, taught us all about Osaka's Shinsekai district and had us trying all kinds of food from dumplings to fried ice cream. We were so full by the end, but we had a great time and loved getting to know more about this fascinating part of the city!
Definitely would recommend

5.00Excellent food tour off the beaten track. Highly recommended. When you visit Osaka, it is easy to fall into the trap of mainstream eateries. To get under the skin of the city, you need to join a local on a food tour. James was an excellent guide who gave us really good insights into the city and the food scene. The food offering was a great variety and delicious. Not to mention the drinks. The old men's plums are rather delicious in a Shochu with soda water. And the quantity? We were all well-fed and couldn't eat any more. The group size was limited to 8, so we could go to smaller venues too. Thank you for a great time!
Amazing! An Osaka gem- don’t miss this tour!

5.00Yuichi was a fantastic guide! Great food in hidden spots we’d never find on our own. Quick bites so we could stop at several small eateries that are clearly loved by the locals. Don’t miss this tour (we did a day trip from Kyoto and are so happy we came here). Highly recommend!!! Five plus stars, we will return.
Great food tour

5.00Kiko was an amazing host. I really appreciated how he he was entertaining and very lively, and he had great recommendations on what to eat and what to do. I appreciated his demeanor. I think he was probably one of the best tour guides I’ve had and I’ve been to at least 10 countries now.
