Traveler reviews
Amazing time with Mari!!
Absolutely incredible experience last night with our guide Mari — hands down one of the best food tours I’ve ever done. The bar hopping was so thoughtfully curated and gave us the perfect mix of hidden local spots, amazing atmosphere, incredible food, and drinks we never would have found on our own. Every stop felt authentic and special, and Mari made the entire night feel effortless, fun, and personal. She was warm, knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure everyone was having an amazing time. We left full, happy, and feeling like we experienced a side of Osaka we never could have discovered ourselves. Could not recommend this tour more highly!

Excellent tour to get to know Osaka
Awesome experience, the all you can drink bars were the best. The tour taught me so much stuff about Japan and Osaka. Its duration was also perfect since one we finished we were in the heart of Dotonburi and could explore it. Food was good and so was the drinks. 10/10!!!
Fantastic night out in Osaka with Nina at Magical Tours!
We had an unintentionally private tour with Nina on Thursday, May 14th and had an absolutely incredible time. Not only were the food and drinks delicious, but I enjoyed our conversation with Nina even more! We covered everything from Japanese history and culture, to food and local traditions. I truly felt like we got a great taste of Osaka on our first full day there. Nina was an excellent guide and I cannot recommend her enough - if you are lucky enough to have her as your tour guide, you're in for a true treat. We would absolutely love to go around the city with Nina again!
Would recommend! Food and drinks galore!
Had a wonderful time with Mari and my fellow tour mates! Went around bars/restaurants and were quite full midway through the tour. She was also telling us about Osaka which was nice.
