Celebrating Osaka’s Night life - If someone asked me for a recommendation for Osaka and they only had time for one activity, I’d tell them they should spend it on this night tour. Of my entire trip to Japan, this was the most fun, lighthearted, and delicious experience I’ve had. Rodney is an amazing tour guide, he brought us to several food places to eat and snack in between the different bar visits. He let us decide what sounded good from a list of options several times so we as a tour group felt like we could do what we found the most fun. He gave recommendations for other places to visit while in Osaka and he made such a great connection between our tour group that even after the tour ended (after Rodney already extended it to spend more time with us and show us more things), our group stayed together and all went out for drinks and karaoke. This tour was a blast, do not miss it!!

See Osaka nighttime like the locals - Rodney took us on a freestyle trip through the streets of Osaka. We got to feel like a local while getting great food and drinks

Carve out 3 hours for this must do tour! - What an enjoyable evening! Dannick was such an outstanding and engaging tour guide. A wealth of information in regards to culture, language and food. The amount of food selections and beverages exceeded our expectations. We visited Izakayas and a fabulous whiskey bar (ZZBar) that has an outrageous selection of whiskey and vinyl record selections - hidden in the depths of Osaka unknown to others. Go, you will be happy you spent these 3 hours in Osaka!

Fun in the allies of Osaka - It was a great food tour. I enjoyed the others in the tour group and Kevin the guide. The food was tasty and mostly new to me. I enjoyed the very small bars towards the end of the tour. Too bad I had to leave a little early as I had an early train ride the next morning.

HAPPY BELLY - What an amazing time we had on this food tour of Osaka, "The Kitchen of Japan"! Rodney and Mao were both awesome tour guides that provided great information about the food history of Osaka and also a great atmosphere as we ate and drank the night away! I would 1000% recommend singing up for this tour if you are visiting Osaka.

Outstanding Fun - Kevin was amazing. He was insightful and a wonderful host. The amount of food and beverages provided to us was outstanding. The history of the food and the explanations of how Osaka‘s food scene is different from other parts of Japan was greatly appreciated. What a wonderful evening. I would highly recommend this activity for any group looking to explore and see things they normally would not have a chance to experience.

You have to do this in Osaka! - A fantastic backstreets tour with Danyck, he took us to places that we would have never found ourselves and probably will never be able to find again! He was great fun to be with and gave us some really interesting facts about Osaka. Danyck introduced us to Chu-Hai which has now become the drink of choice. There was a little less food than we were expecting but this is not a food tour so we should have known better. Overall, 10/10 would recommend!
