"We had 10 tastings experience with Hiromi and I can highly recommend it. We have read so many posts and watched many videos about Osaka eateries and street food, but it is so different to what Hiromi showed us. The food was amazing with every place and dish carefully chosen to wow us. I would definitely do it again if I come back to Osaka. "
"We finished our tasting tour with Hiromi, last night. She was knowledgeable and an excellent teacher throughout the experience but what really made it special was that she customised the experience on the fly as she learned about what we wanted to get out of it. We got to try new things and Hiromi kept taking us to better and better spots as the night went on. She delivered a truly wonderful tour."
"Naomi was always humble and accommodating. He was able to teak the schedule to our needs. Good insights into the Osaka castle area and Dotonburi area. We enjoyed the walk and the history given. Thank you very much. "
"Max was great. Easy to communicate with in the lead up to the tour, and friendly throughout.
He made a considerable effort to include stops that appealed to our kids which was appreciated and led to a better experience for everyone. The snippets of stories around the history of Osaka were brilliant.
Would highly recommend Max for anyone coming to Osaka. "
"The tour with Naoki was great! He was a formidable host! Punctual, kind and super insightful! In addition to the food he also showed us some hidden temples and shrines. He took the time to explain to us the rituals and meaning if those places ! We memorable experience, thank you very much ! "
"Hiroki was really nice and chill. He told us about culture and history as we walked (our preference) through the city through different shrines, churches etc while we tasted different foods. When he found out I preferred gluten free he accommodated us with the food spots. We got a really nice diverse tour of the city which was great for our few days in Osaka. I’m sure he would also tour you through Kyoto!"
"Max was just what we needed. We had already been exploring the area we chose for two days and Max was still able to bring us to spots we haven seen or heard of. He really worked with us to make it a great experience. "
"We spent a beautiful day in Osaka with Jessica. We covered a lot of ground. From the Shitennoji Temple to the Shin Sekai neighborhood to the the Osaka Castle. Jessica is very knowledgeable about Japan's history and culture. She is extremely personable and has a great sense of humor.
We enjoyed our visit very much!"
"We were a group of two families travelling together for the first time to Osaka. I cannot recommend Naoki enough! It was a fabulous introduction to the culture and food of Japan. Naoki has excellent English and was extremely knowledgeable but also made the tour fun for the teenagers. Don’t hesitate to hook this. Excellent experience. "
"Jessica nailed it with us. 100% exactly what we wanted and adapted on the fly to things we asked for or expresses interest. Her knowledge and insights made our tour the most memorable of our trip to Japan! "
