Highly recommend! - We had a great time exploring Osaka with Hiromi! She's fluent in English and very knowledgeable about the city and knows cool places to go and good restaurants. We tried a bunch of different foods at the market and saw lots of great things we would never have found on our own. Thanks Hiromi!

Wonderful afternoon at Osaka’s food market with Kumiko - I was taken to the market by a most friendly and well informed host, Kumiko. She told me a lot about the history of the food market and we tried some delicious dishes, such as raw tuna, oysters and last but not least the fabulous Tacoyaki! What an amazing dish, fried balls filled with octopus and tasty herbs. (In combination with a fresh cold Japanese beer it is an ultimate lunch!) My guide Kumiko was very talkative and her English was great so we did not stop talking about Japanese food culture . We finished this beautiful afternoon in a little side street where we had an original filter coffee and visited a very nice antique shop where i found all presents to take home. A wonderful experience!

Fabulous tour of beautiful AND delicious Osaka! - I was researching for my trip to Osaka and there are many tours to choose from on Tripadvisor and I'm so happy I chose this tour. We were able to see so many sides of Osaka and our guide Kumiko was so enthusiastic and personable. I felt like we saw so much of the cultural and culinary sides of Osaka we could have never experienced on our own. The plumage of Osaka Castle was particularly impressive, the moss Buddah, and the delicious foods made for a perfect day for us! I'd recommend this tour and our friendly guide Kumiko to anyone!
