5.00Coming from Kyoto, Osaka initially felt a bit overwhelming. By the end of our food tour, my wife and I had completely fallen in love with the city—and even made new friends along the way. Our guide, Taka, was incredible: knowledgeable, friendly, and so much fun to be around. Every stop offered exceptional food and drinks, each better than the last. This experience was an absolute highlight, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

5.00Fantastic food tour. Our guide Mari, was super friendly and engaging. You go around 4-5 eateries sampling local dishes & 2 complimentary drinks (plus a chance to buy more if desired). The portions were tasty and also filling. In addition to learning about the area, food & travel tips from Mari it's a nice way to meet other travellers. Would definitely recommend.
