This is a Good Food Tour in Kyoto - We had a nice evening with Esteban. We went to several food booth/restaurants and ate a variety of local food. It was a good variety and we walked to several sections of the area to the next place which was nice. I would highly recommend.

Amazing Food Tour in Dotonbori A Must for Food Lovers! - If you love food and want to experience the best of Osaka’s street food scene, this tour is a must! Walking through the vibrant streets of Dotonbori, we stopped at several food stalls and small restaurants, trying a variety of delicious local specialties. From perfectly crispy karaage to savory okonomiyaki and flavorful yakisoba, every bite was incredible. One of the highlights was the famous cheesecake, which was light, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, sharing interesting stories about the area and the history behind each dish. The atmosphere of Dotonbori, with its bright lights and energetic vibe, made the experience even more special. This tour is perfect for anyone who wants to explore Osaka’s food culture in an authentic and fun way. I highly recommend it!

Bid Disappointment from this tour - We are so disappointed from this tour! The tour guide that totally not a local was taking us from place to place with huge lines and we were waiting and waiting in each station. In one restaurant we were waiting for ever for the food to arrive, the next one was close , the third place just gave us cheese cake to go … we paid over $168 for this tour and with amount you can eat and choose your own food for three or even four days in the row, so save your money, time and skip this useless trip!
