Great tour with Andy! - We started on time, and strolled around the neighborhood as we tried lots of little snacks. He provided options for dietary restrictions also. Tour was very engaging as you get a mix of history and local customs, and you are free to ask questions, order extra food, or make little stops if you see anything interesting along the way.

Fantastic Food Tour - We went on food tours in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka - this one was the best. Andy was a super fun and informative guide, we got lots of background on the dishes we tried. Some of the foods were expected (like some super tasty gyoza) but others really surprised us. One of the best parts about food tours is getting to try really amazing hole in the wall spots that you would never find on your own as a tourist - this tour checked that box for sure. Osaka is a delight in the evening and this is one of the best ways to enjoy the city. Do it!

Top 10% of Food Tours - Just Book It - A fantastic tour for multiple reasons. The guide was accommodating, funny, kind, and kept the tour moving so it had energy and never stalled or felt flat. My 20 year old loved it as much as my wife and I. Well done - having done dozens of these tours across the globe - this was in the top 10%.

A cracking good time with fabulous food and fun new friends! Book this tour! - My mom and I had so much fun on this food tour. This was one of the best things we did on our entire Japan trip! Our guide, British Andy, was amazing. Truly a pleasure to spend an evening with and a wealth of information too, making food we otherwise wouldn’t have tried accessible to us. Oh, and to answer the obvious question, all of the food and drinks were positively delicious!
