Great Tour with Hiro. Showed me some secret spots to taste the local Osaka food.
Feel free to join us again next time!
This was an excellent experience. Tyler was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and took us to some memorable places that the average tourist wouldn’t find. The food and the drink were great quality at each location. We tried Japanese classics such as Sushi and Sake as well as some local and ‘in season’ specialties. Tyler’s fun and easy going manner meant that the evening felt like a night out with friends rather than a tour. Would highly recommend.

How do you decide where and what to eat in Osaka? Take this tour! Tyler was our happy and helpful guide to his tried and true restaurants that may or may not have English menus. With Tyler's help we sampled multiple local favorite dishes. In between we swapped stories about food, family and travel. It was a great evening. Thanks Tyler.

Tyler was amazing and provided lots of great history. I am a history buff and really appreciated the information he provided about the Japanese food culture. I learned a lot and really appreciate the history I learned from him. Now I will take this information back to my friends and recommend that they take this same tour!
Food is often closely tied to tradition, so we like to share some of that history where we can. We greatly appreciate the recommendation. Hope you can join us again someday!
