Must do if you love food! - This was such a fun experience! We met Akiko in an iconic part of Osaka, learned all about the history, and were able to sample some unique foods! She also took us to a couple of game establishments and a cool knife store. Well worth the time. The food was plentiful, and there was something for everyone. She also asked our preferences--for instance,"were we adventurous eaters?" Had a great time and highly recommend!

Best night in Osaka - Our last night in Osaka we had a food tour with Kevin. I did not expect much because I thought we were going to go to the food stalls. Not so! Kevin took us to 4 different off the beaten path places to dine. We had everything from takoyaki to sushi and many other dishes topped off with taiyaki, fish shaped cakes. Kevin was fun and very knowledgeable. We had a memorable time. Take this tour!

Full of food! - Had a great evening exploring some restaurants with our guide, Mio. She brought good vibes to the tour and we enjoyed chatting whilst wandering the streets checking out the sights and trying some great food. Gave us an awesome recommendation for a brilliant backstreet curry restaurant too, which ended up being a great end to our time in Osaka the next evening. We also tried a couple drinks I might not have otherwise experienced, and continued ordering later into my trip. I was wondering what to expect with the food after checking a few of the lower star reviews, but if anyone is left wanting more to eat, that definitely isn't on the tour operator lol. We were all thoroughly stuffed full of delicious food and couldn't possibly have eaten any more.

Great food and tour - Loved this food tour! Our guide, Natsumi, was very nice and had great info to share as we walked around Dotonbori. My friend and I loved all the food, and she was able to work with my vegetarian diet at almost every stop (the exception being takoyaki, which I expected). I loved anll the other food, especially the options she selected for us at the izakaya. This is our third tour with this company throughout Japan. I recommend them all! Thanks for showing us the great food and culture around Osaka!

Absolute Osaka food tour is a must! - Melissa was our fantastic host, she was very knowledgeable and personable. We visited 4 different places. Melissa used her knowledge and our preferences to bring together a fabulous food selection for us to taste. We had a generous selection of food and a couple of alcoholic drinks each during our evening. She took photos of us along the way to make it an evening to remember forever.

Great guide - Our guide Sae made the tour fun and informative. She explained the background to the various dishes and the history of Osaka. She made us feel very welcome and her ethusiasm for local food was infectious. The tour was excellent value for money.

Great Food, Great Company - The history learnt about Osaka was incredibly interesting. The tour guide and photographer that came along were great company and we all had a good time. Tour guide was named Sebastian. Very nice guy and a great laugh. Had some great suggestions for me. Catherine (the photographer) was also great company and we had some good conversations. And of course the food was delicious and the venues visited being amazing. Highly recommend!
