Taiga Was Awesome! Great Tour! - Our tour guide, Taiga, was AWESOME! Knowledgeable, fun, bright and a true joy to spend the evening with.
The three venues he took our group to were well thought out and very enjoyable.

Osaka at night - My husband and I took this tour last night. Our guide Hugo was really informative and guided us to dark, shady alleyways of Osaka. It was different from all the touristy place. Would definitely recommend.

Sacha was an awesome... - Sacha was an awesome guide - he had so many insights about the areas that we were walking through. It was an enlightening experience to see some of the less polished side of Osaka.

A Unique Tour That Goes Beyond the Usual - I had a really interesting tour! Andy was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable and fun. As we walked, he shared fascinating stories from Japanese history and his own experiences living here, which added a personal touch.
The tour included stops at places I never would have thought to visit on my own, making it a unique and memorable experience. I didn’t opt for the dinner option since I had a train to catch, but based on the quality of the rest of the tour, I imagine it would be excellent as well.
I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore one of the lesser-known sides of Osaka!

Saw Hidden Gems of Osaka - Sasha was an amazing tour guide! He was very informative and showed us a side of Japan that we had not seen before. Got to see parts of Osaka that I never would have been able to find on my own.

Disappointed - None of the places we went were any much different from what I've seen except the " slump " which I am not sure if it's truly called a slump. Also the dinner was very bad and it's an awful reflection of all the good quality restaurants available. The owner served our red wine in tainted glass ( gross). However the guide Sasha is very knowledgeable and speaks well and attentive.
