5.00We loved the Osaka Food Tour. My son and I have serious & different food allergies, so this was a safer way to experience several of the food markets in Osaka. Fumiko, our guide, was the absolute BEST!
Loys saved the day!

5.00Loys was fantastic. He took both of our unique and individual preferences into account when selecting stops on the tour. The conversion was great and so was the food. He even took extra time to help us find a store we had been looking for. It was a wonderful experience and he is an awesome guide. Thank you Loys!

5.00Maria was absolutely amazing. She taught us things, explained the foods we were eating and took us to so many fun places. We ate so much food and she pivoted based on what we liked and wanted to do. Can’t say enough good things about the tour and Maria in general. She was one of our favourite tour guides in all of Japan that we had. Super friendly. Would definitely recommend her.

5.00We met Maria in a bus lane vibrant neighborhood in Osaka. Maria was friendly and inviting felt instantly comfortable. We had a great time all evening exploring the city, different restaurants and amazing food. Food is a perfect way to know the culture and people of a destination, and we are so glad that we had Maria to take us on this journey. Thank you, John, Erick, and Shawn.
Brilliant “rent a bestie” tour.

5.00We spent our time in Osaka with Maria. She was fabulous! What a warm, lovely and knowledgeable guide. Imagine being able to “rent a bestie” to show you around their home town- and it’s pretty much what the tour felt like. The tour was tailored to what we wanted to see and eat- which was exactly what we wanted and Maria was flexible too through the time we were together, so if something popped up we wanted to have a look at, she was happy to help. Definitely worth doing if you’re in Osaka.
