Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a wonderful experience with Kalid! He was very flexible and adjusted the tour plans to suit our needs and dietary preferences. He was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun to talk to. We tried the Osaka street food that you hear about but we wouldn’t know where to find the best options or even how to order. He also dealt expertly with my tired, picky daughters. Thank you so much, Kalid! "
"We had a lovely tour. Sho let us tasted Osaka's specialties. The food was delicious and there was more than enough of it. We had nice conversations. This is also one of the reasons we book a food tour: to meet the people behind the city. My daughter shared the same taste in music as Sho, which opened the door for great conversations. Sho was easy to reach via WhatsApp, and arranging things went smoothly. I recommend this food tour to everyone!"
"Our family with 2 children (ages 9 & 12) had an amazing food tour with Maria. We tried almost everything Osaka has to offer and with some secret gems too. Maria was very informative about the history of Osaka also and shared many insights about Japanese culture. I would highly recommend Maria. "
"My family (6 people total) had such a great time with Fay. Fay was friendly and funny, and it was easy to talk to her throughout the night. She made sure to plan the tour so that our two non-seafood eaters could have a great time as well. She was also really flexible due to weather delays causing us to be a bit late to the start of the tour. We loved getting the context behind the different foods she chose and were all so full by the end of the night. This tour was a vacation highlight for the adult children of the group! It was a great way to explore food in Osaka!"
"Best tour we’ve had using With Locals! We booked the Osaka food tour with Fay and had a wonderful time. Our group consisted of 2 adults and 6 teens with varying interests. Fay managed to find food that everyone was able to enjoy; even our picky eater and vegetarian! Fay has a friendly and welcoming personality which made talking with her very easy and engaging. We would recommend Fay to anyone!"
"We had a great time with Kalid! He took us to some fantastic spots and was very personable. We learned a lot about the foods in Osaka! Kalid was very engaging with all members of our family and was fun to tour with. If you are looking for a food tour in Osaka book Kalid!"
"Fay was an incredible host for our family while we visited the area. The food tour was one of the highlights of our time in Osaka, but what really impressed us was how much she cared about her guests. When my daughter wasn’t feeling well, Fay offered to help us navigate local doctors, pharmacies, and the healthcare system—something completely beyond the scope of a food tour. That level of kindness and service is rare. Fay wasn’t just a great guide; she was someone who genuinely looked out for our family. We would recommend her without hesitation."
"Our food tour with Hiromi was the perfect way to start our trip to Japan. As our first day in the country, it gave us a wonderful introduction to Osaka, its food, and its culture. We tried a variety of delicious local foods and enjoyed learning more about the city along the way. Hiromi also shared great recommendations that helped us make the most of the rest of our time in Osaka. She was especially kind and patient with our 6-year-old daughter, making sure she felt included and comfortable throughout the tour. We highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a fun, welcoming, and delicious introduction to Osaka. "
"Maria was a gem! She catered to 2 pescatarians (no shellfish) and 3 meat-eaters. She took us to hidden gems and local standouts providing amazing food, history, culture, fun drinks and useful information. We had a blast. It was a truly very memorable day! EXCEPTIONAL!!!"
"Fay was such a delightful guide. She chose thoughtful, delicious dishes during our food tour. Each dish had a story behind it. Fay was knowledgeable about the Osaka food scene and Japan’s history in general. I highly recommend Fay!"
