Highly Recommend Kevin - Kevin was the perfect guide for our group of three. He enabled us to enjoy and understand the interesting night life of Osaka that the averaged tourist would never be able to find and enjoy. If you are a fan of food and drink, do this tour. Kevin was knowledgeable and flexible in our time with him. He went the extra mile to ensure all of us were getting the experience that we wanted. Raise your Japan game and do this tour with Kevin!

Invested Guide + Top Notch Izakayas! - What a FABULOUS activity for my first night in Japan! The guide was incredible, hilarious (he's a comedian on the side), and certainly took us places I wouldn't have discovered on my own. He even stayed an hour after the tour to show us another izakaya that ended up being my favorite! Cannot recommend more.

Highlight of our whole Japan trip - I cannot say enough good things about how incredible this tour was. We all agreed this was the best part of our trip. We enjoyed so many incredibly fun tasty treats, and drinks which were a great deal. Our guide was so entertaining and knew many of the local, he was incredibly friendly and we got to see such a fun aspect of the culture in these areas. You cannot skip this tour. They were also so flexible for us when we showed up a month early and 30 minutes late, but probably just show up at your booked time

100% worth it! - Genuinely the best bar hopping tour and one of the best nights I have had in Japan. Kevin was a repository of knowledge, quick wit and friendliness. He'll guide you through small backstreets and local hidden-away gems all while talking about the history of the nightlife culture in Osaka. What surprised me the most was how flexible the tour was in comparison to other tours. We went with five friends, so sometimes (I think it happened maybe once?) there weren't enough spots available but don't you fret. He'll have a plan B,C all the way up to Z if need be. And at the end he'll send you a handy list of all the places he couldn't take you to so you can explore them at your own leisure. I would recommend this tour as a first-night event for anyone that wants to experience the nightlife scene. It is 100% worth it!

Best Night Ever with Layla - Our group’s night out with Layla was absolute perfection. We have so many great stories and memories of the drinks, foods, bars, and the hilarious locals. And also we learned a lot about Osaka and Japan in general. We had a lot of great food at two different places, then went to three bars and bonus karaoke on request! If you’re up for some fun and want a memorable night, this is for you! Thank you, Layla, for giving us so many amazing memories and stories and pictures from our trip to Osaka!

osaka night tour - We recently joined a back alley bar hopping tour in Osaka, and it was an unforgettable experience, thanks largely to our fantastic guide! He expertly navigated us through the hidden gems of Osaka's nightlife, showing us cozy bars and local hotspots that we would have never found on our own. His enthusiasm and knowledge about the local culture and drinks added so much to our evening. He wasn't just a guide; he was part of the fun, engaging with everyone and ensuring we all had a great time. If you're looking for a truly local experience, this tour is a must-do!

It's a must in Osaka - What an experience! From start to finish it was a fun night! Leila was a wonderful and personable guide and we visited places we would have never found on our own. The food was delicious and so filling and trying all the different Japanese drinks was wonderful particularly when we were told the history of them.
