Kuromon and Beyond - Riko and Kiyo - Riko & Kiyo provided an amazing experience showing me around the Kuromon Fish Market area and beyond. As someone who was nervous travelling by themselves for the time, they made me feel incredibly welcome ! I can't recommend them both enough.

Tasty and colourful tour of Osaka’s treats - If you want to taste and experience Osaka with a local’s expertise; this is the tour for you. Our guide was funny, informative, conversational, and left more than enough room for our personal tastes and needs. We skipped some of the dishes we already tried and got to taste some unique Osakan delicacies. Highly recommended! Oishi deshita!

Excellent introduction to the area - Ami was kind, patient and knowledgeable! We had a great walk with a mixture of local history, customs and tips on where to buy items (food, yes, but also landmarks, souvenirs, knives, kitchen wares etc) for better prices than on the main streets. I think we only received three samples each, (not counting free samples given at booths) but I’m not sure. Either way, it was worth the money. We feel we can go back tomorrow on our own to try what we didn’t try today.

Glad we took the food tour! - Ami was a great tour guide! She introduced us to a variety of local favorite foods, and was very kind about inviting the group to try and also respectfully giving people the option not to try things. She also took us to places to find great kitchen goods at low prices, and taught us about a neat local shrine. She also gave us some recommendations about other places in Japan to visit. Very enjoyable for sure!

Wonderful food tour in Osaka - The experience was great! Very well prepared with a complete tour through the Kuromon Market and part of the Nipponbashi area up to Dotonbori. The guide, Aina, was super friendly, knew exactly where to go, and shared a lot of interesting details of the areas we visited. おおきに!
