We expected more walking on our walking tour, more food selections on our foodie tour, and we expected it to last 3 hours which it did not. We were the only couple on the tour but for the cost, we weren’t satisfied, and we participate in food tours everywhere we travel. Our guide was easy to communicate with and added valuable insight and knowledge to the food history and culture.

Good to be shown round some of Osakas foodie areas. Food provided was good and varied. Temple/shrine visit not good as it was dark. Meeting point in the middle of nowhere and not easily accessible.

This was not what we expected. Our guide was a student who had very basic knowledge of the sites and types of food we experienced. The added value of the tour and the guide were very low if not at all. Notwithstanding, the guide was extremely nice and clearly doing his best , however, we could have done this ourselves and looked online for the info easily, and ended up at better places (which we easily did the night before). For what we paid we expected to get a well thought out experience , get some interesting fun knowledge about the food and culture and eat at unique interesting places, unfortunately this did not happen. Buyer beware…

Mia was so nice and patient with us. She dedicated her time to us and made sure that we were well taken care of. She gave us so many answers to all of our questions about Japan and Japanese culture. The food stops were amazing and we were completely stuffed of the best food in the area by the end of the tour.
