- Dotombori District - Similar to Shibuya (its counterpart in Tokyo) the lights and sounds of Dotounburi often lead you astray to overly-commercialised restaurants with queues of tourists outside. We want to take our guests to places they would certainly miss without a local’s guidance. We will take secret alleys, not long after we begin the tour, toward the shrine wedged out of sight from the average passerby.

Wonderful tour with very fun guide ! - Melissa did a great job of showing us the area and treating us to 4 different food experiences. All were very different and typical Japanese. She was so personable and attentive to our friend’s allergy needs. We throughly enjoyed her and learning about her personal experiences in Japan. We don’t know how it could have been any better !

Delicious Osaka - We enjoyed a wonderful guided food tour of Osaka tonight with Melissa. The area was lively, fun, noisy and exciting. Melissa was warm, friendly and entertaining and made us immediately feel at ease. She obviously loved the area and was great at introducing us to the culture, family life and the food. We went to several restaurants, specifically chosen for our likes and allergies, as she helped us make our choices, then explained the background, history and preparation of the dishes. Everything was delicious, we learned a lot, laughed a lot and enjoyed a unique experience.

Excellent food tour in Osaka - We thoroughly enjoyed our evening on the food tour exploring Osaka's nightlife and sampling the local (and other Japanese) cuisine.
Sebastian was a great host, he looked after everyone’s dietary requirements and preferences in a professional and friendly manner. His choices of food and handpicked restaurants were excellent.
He made sure that everyone had what they needed and made us all feel welcome, the whole experience couldn’t have been better. We highly recommend the tour and Sebastian as a great guide.

First rate tour with excellent guide, Sae. - We had an excellent tour with Sae. She was easy going and had very good communication skills. The food we sampled was delicious and varied including visits to places we would never have found ourselves. Throughout Sae was informative not only about the food and eating 'etiquette' but also about Osaka in general. The meeting arrangements were simple and the entire three hour trip was well organised. Many thanks from both of us. William and Kate.

Highly recommend tour in Dotonbori, Osaka! - My wife Paula and I had Ike as our primary tour guide and Rem (apologies if I misspelled) as our assistant tour guide. We thought it was a bigger group but it was just us and them which was probably better than a larger group. It felt like we were just hanging out with some friends and eating amazing food. Ike and Rem were welcoming, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. There was never a dull or awkward moment. Ike and Rem were personable but also provided us with learning moments as we strolled through the street and alleys - something you wouldn’t get by just adventuring through yourself and stumbling across a tiny little shrine. Can’t stress enough how much it felt like we were just hanging out with friends! The food was incredible, the company was stellar, and it was nice to leave the food orders to the guides so we didn’t stress over what to get. Highly recommend booking!

Fantastic food tour! - We had Mickey show us around Osaka for our food tour and she was absolutely fantastic!
Firstly you don't need to be worried about any language barrier as Mickey has fantastic English and her knowledge of Osaka and the history is fantastic.
For our food tour we had a variety of different foods. It started as small sample bites to ensure we didn't get too full then it was followed by a decent sized meal and more snacks after!
We had a delicious tasting sweet treat with some history on the unique shape by Mickey, followed by a surprise stop at a popular shop (i won't give away all the spoiler details).
There were other surprises included which aren't food tasting but food related. All the food options were linked to the Osaka area and tasted delicious. They also catered for those with any dietary issues.
We 100% recommend going on this food tour!

Fabulous 4 Foodies, Awesome Arigato! - Our guide, Chiyoe, was absolutely amazing. She was so knowledgeable, caring, enthusiastic, and interesting: a natural 'people person' The food we ate was delicious, authentic and plentiful. This tour with Chiyoe exceeded our expectations and we cannot recommend it highly enough.
