Highly Recommended!! - Our guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the local area. We had a fantastic experience eating and drinking at the more ‘local’ spots in Namba.

Perfect Introduction to Osaka - The bar hopping night tour was the perfect introduction to Osaka! I got to experience delicious local food without any stress, even in one of the most busy and famous areas of the city, and a quiet hole-in-the-wall bar too. Saya was great as the tour guide, and provided fun conversation for the entire night. I highly recommend it! A very special memory.

Enjoy a tasty and fun night - Our tour guide, Aino, was amazing!!! I accidentally booked the wrong day but she was kind enough to arrange the change so I could join on a different night. She was super fun and attentive. The tour itself was super nice: we went to restaurants that locals go to, with delicious food and drinks. I enjoyed going around some streets I hadn't been to before while listening to facts about the food and the city of Osaka. As a solo traveler, it was the perfect way to meet other people and have a terrific evening. We ended up with karaoke, which was super fun.

So much fun - This was a wonderful experience. Our guide was Fuka. She literally had the most personality I have ever witnessed. She made the night so fun. We started with sushi and drinks at our first stop. Our second stop was exciting and we could drink as much as we wanted. The last stop was drinks and karaoke. I highly recommend this excursion, it is a must not miss activity in Osaka.

Wonderful bar hooping night! - We had a wonderful bar hopping tour with Aina. She was very fun and it was a blast spending the night together. She also helped my wife choosing gluten-free options on the menus of the three restaurants even if we booked the tour the day before.
