We had a great time on the Deep Osaka Night Walking Tour. It was different in a good way from tourist walking tours as it went deeper into how the locals live in Osaka. I strongly advise adding the meal onto the end of the tour as we made some good friends sharing Karoke. Ruti was a great guide and singer.
Very good. A look at parts of Japan I doubt many people want you to see. Fun times and some sobering up times.
It has been a fantastic experience. Perhaps not the usual tour but it does show you some of the Osaka (and Japan for all that matter) that is also real and that guides don’t really show. If you’re interested in an experience and a real conversation, this is a great tour. Dudu was a wonderful caring guide with an answer for all questions!
Most unique and interesting walking tour we have ever done. Definitely not a site seeing tour. In 3 hours, our knowledgeable, well spoken and humorous guide Rudy gave us an overview of some of the most important political and socioeconomic issues in Osaka and Japan as a whole are facing right now -- declining population, immigration, a new push towards militarization not seen since WW2. We also learned very interesting tidbits about how unregulated alcohol is in the country, how gambling and prostitution are technically illegal in the country as well as the comical loopholes that allow them to flourish. We chose the food option and were pleasantly surprised by how delicious the after tour meal was. This was an amazing and very educational tour. Our family of 6 (between 19 and 53 years old) all loved it. I can't recommend this enough to anyone who wants a glimpse into real Japanese society on their visit to this wondrous nation.
Great experience. Guide was very cool and knowledgeable. Considerate of my being older. Gave great experience learning about other sides of the Japanese culture. Food add on was not that great and not worthy the Money. But tour was great !!
Taka was a great guide. Very informative walk around Osaka, great on a warm summers evening.
Highly recommend this. Did it on my first night in Osaka. Rudy was an amazing, thoughtful and well informed guide! This tour is beautiful, tragic, strange, fascinating. You learn the hidden gems, the quirky solutions, the gritty and sometimes tragic realities. But all of this made me fall in love with Osaka. It did not put a dampener at all on the experience, I felt connected to the place and people, and could understood how and why things are the way they are. This isn't an experience you can have without a very compassionate, empathetic and informed guide. Thank you Rudy! And the dinner was great, lots of new things outside of the sushi you might have had in western countries already.
Had a great time with my family on the Osaka Backstreet tour. Would highly recommend
Very knowledgeable and fun guide. We saw the usual sights but also some places we wouldn’t have seen if we didn’t take this tour. And the things we learned were interesting! Beautiful night pics, too! Thanks to our guide Jay.
Awesome time in Osaka at night or as the sun went down. It was great to get a really good rundown of the real Osaka and real Japanese culture.
