Something for everyone!
We were not really sure what to expect when we headed out. However Kevin our guide was very friendly, had excellent local knowledge and made the evening relaxed and very enjoyable. We were offered huge variety of local dishes and beverages in a collection of very different venues. Great chat and interaction with Kevin and the other guests. An all round blast of the senses.

Great food, great tour
This was one of the best food tours I have ever been on, and I've been on a lot. It was extremely well organized with good communication on the time and the meeting place. I was very comfortable that I knew exactly where to go and find my tour. The guide Mario was excellent. Friendly and enthusiastic he facilitated our group through all the different eating places on one of the busiest nights in Osaka. It was so nice to be ushered into places and seated right away when others were standing in long lines. There was a great assortment of different foods to try and there was a lot!! Come hungry and ready to have a great time.

Awesome experience!! The baby monkeys were super cute! The Bamboo forest was unreal. Even with all the people walking around you could feel a surreal sense of tranquility. The guides were very helpful (Terry, Jihyo,and Hasan) and had a great sense of humor. They were very informative.
