A must if you’re a solo traveler! - The host was extremely inviting! As a solo traveler, it can be difficult to find local spots but this was a great opportunity to sample some of them. Great experience and highly recommend!

Nice tour - Captivating bar tour: diverse venues, lively atmosphere, and a memorable night out. Highly recommended for an immersive nightlife experience!

Excellent night out experience for anyone new in Osaka - Great night out seeing the nightlife and tasting the local food and drinks in Osaka, as well as meeting fellow travellers. Big thank you to our amazing guide Shinoka for an excellent experience!

10/10 would recommend - Shinoka was amazing! I would definitely recommend doing this bar/food tour during your time in Osaka. I booked the tour a couple days in advance and have no regrets!

Fun and delicious way to see a non-touristy side of Osaka - A very fun night exploring local spots in Osaka! Our guide Soma showed us a great night around Osaka, taking us to three local spots where we were able to try a variety of drinks and foods. The local spots were the type you’d never be able to stumble upon without a knowledgeable local guide. And I was able to try some foods I might not have ordered for myself. The group was a lively bunch, with Americans and Australians, on different types of holidays. As a solo traveller, this offered a really great opportunity to let loose and experience a different side of Osaka! Soma was so friendly and helpful, with recommendations and advice for our further travels through Japan. I’d definitely recommend for solo travellers, couples or friends who want to explore Osaka under the touristy surface and have a fun and delicious night out!

Great way to explore Osaka - Social and fun activity, you get the chance to learn about the osaka nightlife and try some cool food and drinks! Very good guide as well!

Brilliant fun evening in Osaka - We had a brilliant evening with Shinoka and the other guests. Was a great introduction to Osaka food and drinks. My friend and I don’t eat meat and she’s also allergic to shellfish but it wasn’t a problem, Shinoka made sure we were well catered for. Great fun!

Had an absolute blast on... - Had an absolute blast on this guided tour. Food was great and the locations we went too weren't super crowded with other tourists. Guide was a lot of fun and knowledgeable.

Night out with Saiga - Had a great time with Saiga, he explained all the food and sake we had as well as some Japanese traditions. He even explained a little shrine we walked by. He showed us some really cool local places. Must do for solo travellers! Our group was 5 solo travellers, 20s-30s, from all over the world and we all had a good time.

Lame, rip off, would not recommend - Our guide was great. This review is nothing about her. She was awesome. However, the places we went were very poor decisions. $40 to book. First we walked to some random shrine for literally 2 mins, took one picture. Then we went to an izakaya where we made our own octopus balls. we each got one piece of tempura and a couple octopus balls. It was not exciting to cook. The drink choices were also lame. Food was cheap and uninspiring. Also each person got some tapioca slimy ball thing, not fun or tasty. We stayed for 30mins. It was 2,000yen per person or about $12, which is fine since I had 3 drinks but still totally overpriced. I was expecting us to grill meat or eat meat or something fun. Next we walked 20mins to a sake bar. Each table of 4 got 3 small carafes of sake and a tiny appetizer. We stayed about 30mins again. Sake was fine. I was getting buzzed now because I stopped at a store and bought my own drinks to enjoy while walking. The sake bar was another 2500 per person or $16. Lastly we walked to a shopping mall place that had dozens of mini bars. It was a cool idea and a cool place. We went to a 'whiskey bar', which was not a whiskey bar at all. My wife got whiskey on the rocks and it was super watered down. They gave us shots and it was also watered down sugar water. I got one or two drinks. It was 2500yen per person again. Why? 2 drinks?? Makes no sense. After about 20mins, the guide had us pay and she left. Me and my wife then left and saw all the other cool mini bars. It had the vibe of a brothel, lots of mini rooms with a bar and a bartender. Very odd place but a cool idea. After all was said and done, it was $40 USD per ticket, then another 7000yen for the 3 locations. So basically $100 per person USD. In america, that price is ok. In japan, thats EXTREMELY OVERPRICED. 6 drinks for $100?? Osaka is full of cool bars and restaurants and the places we went were just dumb. I would not recommend this at all.
