Exactly what we hoped for! - We love to do food tours in any new city and this was one of the best of them. Michael was a fun and caring guide, sharing cultural and historical knowledge alongside great local food. The experience felt authentic yet suitable for most pallets. Excellent tour - I want to do more tours with this company now!

10/10 Worth Doing - Such a great experience, Mico was our guide and he was great, he had plenty of facts about Osaka, and he was even more than happy to give us a bunch of recommended places to go not just in Osaka but in most cities we were going to. The food was phenomenal, definitely the most I've eaten before in one night lol. definitely worth doing!!

Best food tour ever! - Adam is by far the best tour guide we’ve ever had! His knowledge, humour and Aussie flair makes the experience more than just about food. You’ll also learn so much about the history of Osaka as well. Can’t recommend this tour enough!

Great evening - Great evening, delicious (best udon we’ve tasted!) and unusual food we wouldn’t have found by ourselves. Andy was knowledgeable about the dishes, he ensured everyone was kept entertained, even the teenagers had a great time. Would highly recommend!

Not a bad food tour,but not the best food tour - Overall this was an enjoyable food tour. If we hadn’t have gone on it, we would never have found this street since it’s a local hangout. We had plenty to eat and we liked going to several different eateries (though the first one was super cramped, filled with smokers smoking the entire time we were there, and we sat on milk crates that weren’t attached to anything -which my four year old son ended up falling off of). Our tour guide Anna was nice though we would have liked to hear a little more about the cuisine we were eating (she didn’t seem to know the answers to a lot of our questions). And we did end up hanging out at one of the outdoor locations for the last 3 spots of our tour (she went and ordered take out and had us continue to sit at the place we were finished eating at, partly because the drinks weren’t included there so we had to keep purchasing them, and because she was flirting with one of the men there). Not sure if it was worth the price we paid, but it was something different to do. It would have been nice if we would have had some input on the types of foods we were eating, as our guide already had all the spots predetermined, but having to do it all again we decided we probably would do it again.
