Great tour and Moeka is a fantastic guide - This tour is a fun way to experience the Dotonbori District and surrounding area. Our tour included three stops and the first two included local street food along with sake, beer, shoucho, etc. The food and drink quantities were plentiful. The last stop included a Japanese whiskey tasting. During the trip, our guide Moeka gave us a lot of good information about the area and even helped us find a Takoyaki stand as we were leaving. I highly recommend this trip, it’s good value for your money.

Osaka Namba night 23-May-2024 - It was such a great experience exploring an Osaka night with new friends. Sara-san, our cute tour guide, was very cheerful and professional. I personally liked all the drinks and food. There were vegan food options in all 3 isakayas (I'm a vegan).

Best Tour Ever - Mike was the best! He gave lots of information as well as recommendations for everything. Apparently I have to give 100 characters but I already said what I wanted to say so hopefully we’re close now.
