Shehab was our tour-guide and we really enjoyed the tour. We went to a lot of local places. Shehab answered all the questions we had.

My husband and I did a tour with Shehab. We were the only two who signed up for this day, so he really catered to our desires. We enjoyed every stop on the tour! He was so knowledgeable about Osaka food and it helped to much to have a bilingual Japanese- English speaker to guide us. Would highly recommend. A highlight of our time in Osaka!

We picked this Osaka food tour as it was to be with a local guide. Our guide was definitely local (as he lives in Osaka) although not from Japan. This said, Gil was a great tour guide and took us to a variety of places to experience different types of local foods. He was very knowledgeable about the area, foods, and customs. This is a 4 star review simply because the tour advertised that there would be a local tour guide -- which implies someone who is Japanese. This was not the case. Nevertheless, Gil was a great guide!

We had a really great time on the food tour. Mayuka was our guide and she went out of her way to help make it a great experience. When we asked for something that was not on the planned tour, Mayuka made it happen.

I did a last minute local food crawl with Buchi and it was a great experience. The best part is going to the mom and pop locations that are not filled with tourists so you get the best authentic experience. Loved it and Buchi was company and guide.

We had a delicious and amazing tour! Shehab, our tour guide, introduced us to delicious food and the neighborhood historical sights. He answered all our questions about Osaka foods and local locations, and he was very accommodating to allergies and food preferences.
