Best way to see and eat Osaka! - Amazing tour! We went to so many different places for both sightseeing and eating—we could not have done this without Alice leading us! The food was great, and it was a lot of food! We learned so much on the tour, too! I highly recommend as a way to try local foods and see all the big sights. We had limited time in Osaka and this was perfect!

Wonderful deep dive into Osaka's Dining Culture - We had an amazing tour! It was a very private tour and Yuma our guide hosted us with pleasure! The different dishes were accompanied by highlights in Japanese culture and nice information. I definitely know which kind of snacks, dishes and drinks I'll be getting. Thank you!

Awesome food tour in Osaka - We had a fantastic night out seeing Osaka and trying local dishes. Kiyomi was an engaging, warm and gracious guide who made us feel like her guests. She showed us several places to come back to later in our trip. Loved the food and loved the tour.

Great - I was hoping to learn about Osaka and eat some good food which we definitely did, but my favorite part was just talking and getting to know our guide and the other group members. This was fun and relaxed way to enjoy a new city!

Great food tour with Ania! - Ania was great! She was so friendly and shared so much interesting information while also taking us to great street food restaurants in Osaka. I would highly recommend booking this tour to learn a bit of Osaka history and seeing some shrines while also tasting delicious food!

参加して良かったです - 海外育ちの娘と娘の友人のフランス人を連れて行きました。 私は日本人ですが大阪にはなじみがなく、娘達のためにこちらの英語のツアーをお願いしました。 日本人も知らなかった豆知識も�たくさん知ることができました。 グルメツアーだけではなく神社などにも立ち寄りました。 料理の量もとても多くて食べきれないほどでした。 ガイドのアイナさんはとても英語が堪能で沢山の知識をお持ちでした。 おすすめです。 We went with my daughter and her French friend and me. I give Japanese, but I don't know about Osaka, so we requested this Ingres language tour. Even though I'm Japanese, a lot of things I didn't know. We were some small temples too. Volume of food was a lot and we filled up. Flame Guide Aina, is Japanese speaks very good English and has a lot of knowledge. It is recommended.
