Mayura is so great! - SO fun!!! Mayura is the sweetest and took us to her hidden gem favorites. It felt like we were hanging out with a foodie friend! Her choices were great, she accommodated our daughter who is vegetarian and allergic to nuts, while making sure the rest of us got the best stuff too!

Enjoyable Osaka Food Tour - Fumiko was warm, friendly and knowledgeable about the city of Osaka and its wonderful history in food. She ushered us through the city and introduced us to the most delicious foods (ex. best crab-in-bao-bun we’ve ever had). We thoroughly enjoyed our tour.

Osaka is to Japan as Bologna is to Italy - Loys was our guide and he took us on a culinary journey to remember. We experienced the first conveyer belt sushi and my firsts there was whelk (sea snail) and whale skin - both were a bit chewy but new adventures, we walked the food alley and had another great adventure- my grandkids had baby octopus on a stick - they crushed it - and then the pinnacle- blow fish. Lots of taste adventures from the best and freshest mochi to yakitoki. Bravo to Loys!!

Overpriced Tour but friendly guide - Our tour guide Aoi was very friendly and informative about Osaka, she took us to some interesting areas. The only downside of the tour is the price, as the food we had did not cost much and yet the tour is expensive, you are really paying for a local to walk around with you.
