Funny, informative great value for money - This was a fantastic experience as someone visiting Japan for the first time. Andy was the most amazing guide you could have to walk you through the tour. He was very knowledgeable, accommodating and being a brit myself, his humour was right up my street so to speak. What a fabulous day we all had, would highly recommend whenever you visit Osaka.

Excellent tour guides - Enjoyed a great walking tour around Osaka with Tim, who was full of local + historical knowledge. Stopped for some great food along the way too. It was a really fun end to our time in Japan, would highly recommend. :)

Half day walking tour of Osaka - Andy was amazing, great fun and very knowledgeable about all things Osaka. There is very little doubt how much he loves the city and it is hard not to embrace his enthusiasm for the things that make Osaka so different to Tokyo but equally fabulous for different reasons. He answered endless questions, took us to places we would not have discovered on our own and more importantly gave us a comprehensive historic overview of Japan's history and how the 2 cities evolved over time with their own identities. Highly recommend this tour!

Scott was an excellent... - Scott was an excellent tour guide. He was very interested in our preferences to make the tour fun. It is a walkable tour so be ready to walk. Osaka is very interesting and I would recommend it for people that want to spend a day exploring the markets and castle.

Accommodated Me Even Though I Was Late - First, I’d like to thank HungryOsaka Tours for accommodating me after I was an hour late showing up to the tour (the travel agency I booked the tour through gave me faulty directions to get to Osakajokoen station for the tour meetup). After I finally met up with tour guide Tim at the Osaka Castle, we all went around Osaka smoothly. Tim treated us to some takoyaki and okonomiyaki at a street-style spot in Amerikamura. Tim was very knowledgeable and patient (especially after having to wait for me to arrive an hour late). I highly recommend him for any Osaka experience you’re looking to have while you’re there. He gave us the scoop on the Glico Man and showed us how Osaka is like the anti-Tokyo. Five stars go to Tim and even Andy at HungryOsaka Tours!

Walking tour that did not disappoint. - Great time with Tim whom I felt sorry for, because he was talking to us for almost the entire duration of the tour. He was a great source of anything Osaka. There was a small mishap in the beginning since the site says meeting place was exit 2 off of the train station but there’s only one exit. Also, the google maps shows a different meeting location which was an almost 15 minute walk from the station. Talk about confusing! Good thing I got a call from the operator who clarified this and we went back to the train station to meet up with Tim. Apparently, I was told that directions were given via email or calls the night prior but I didn’t get said email. My phone wasn’t turned on until the day of the tour, so I did not get the earlier call. Phew! If you love walking, this is a great tour as you will walk around Osaka Castle, Namba and Dotonbori district, Shinsekai & the wet market. Lots to see, taste and know. It was all awesome and nice introduction so you’ll know where to spend more time later. Thank you, Tim!

Great tours, guides and place - Hungry Osaka - Fabulous tour. It’s a great intro into some of the history of Osaka and the things it went through as well and an enjoyable visual experience. Being able to walk through all the places you can get good eats at is worthy. You get some great suggestions and the opportunity to try some interesting things. The lunch stop was awesome, great restaurant choice! Andy who reached out the day before with instructions on the meet up point and who our guide was is helpful, responsive. The guide Tim was great - font of information, welcoming and enthusiastic. Definitely recommend doing and of the Hungry Osaka packages.

Nice Day for Osaka Walking Tour - We had a great time & nice weather doing this Osaka walking tour with our guide, Tim. He was knowledgeable, friendly & and an excellent communicator. He provided insights on areas we had visited such the Osaka Castle, Namba, Dotonbori, Shinsekai & the wet market. We also had a delicious & tasty Takoyaki & Okonamiyaki lunch at the Nishinsaibashi district. It was a long walk but we didn’t feel hurried because Tim kept a steady & easy pace to follow. I highly recommend this tour. Ask for Tim.
