Fun Food Tour

Our tour with Danyk was a memorable experience into Osaka. As a first time visitor it was a great way to get a feel for this city and how it really does contrast with other parts of Japan. Danyk had some interesting insight as we roamed the food scene of Osaka. Recommended.

Explore Osaka like a local

This was an amazing tour. Rodney was a great host and so knowledgable with the local spots. He took us to a variety of places and each venue had delicious food and/or drinks. We even went to some places where it was essential to speak Japanese. I'd recommend this tour to anyone who loves eating and drinking and wants to explore local spots in Osaka. Thank you Rodney for a wonderful time ☺️

Eat like a local!

Paul was clear in his instructions for where to meet and took the group on a great tour through places we would never have found on our own! Along the way, he also gave us insight into food culture and history in Osaka. We had a fantastic time trying new food and drinks with him!

Osaka Backstreet Nightlife & Street Food Waling Tour guided by Kevin

This was one of the best, if not the best, food tours I've experienced and I've done many, typically at least one on each vacation we take. The Osaka nightlife vibe and the variety of restaurants and bars we visited, both large and small but all with a distinctly local and non-touristy atmosphere, made for a fun evening. While the food itself was excellent as were the drinks, what made our tour special was our guide, Kevin. Kevin was enthusiastic and had a deep knowledge of Osaka's food and drink culture, of which he arranged for a variety of options for us at each location. But what most stood out about Kevin was his fun and personable way of engaging with the group. Our tour was scheduled for three hours, last closer to thee and a half, but seemed to fly by in no time thanks to Kevin.
