Traveler reviews
I would do this again
We had a great time with Yuki. We appreciated the opportunity to spend time talking with her as she was able to provide a fun evening as well as a rich perspective of the food we had in the evening.
A great tour to learn about the food scene
Our Local Foodie and Walking Tour in Dotonbori and Shinsekai was fantastic. Our guide Mich was brilliant. We were very lucky to be the only two guests on this tour so we got her undivided attention. It gets very busy in the evenings so you need to stay close to her when following through the crowded streets and pay attention! There was more food than what we could eat and we also were allowed 3 drinks, (alcoholic or non alcoholic). Her commentary was very informative and interesting and we learnt a bit more about the Japanese history and culture, particularly around the food scene. We would highly recommend this evening tour.
A fabulous food tour!
What a fabulous tour. Hide the tour guide absolutely made the tour. He was knowledgeable and also fun to walk around the streets of Osaka. We would recommend to anyone considering a food tour. The food was also fabulous too! We were very full after 😊👍🏻
Foodie tour
Fantastic tour with a very friendly guide
An excellent overview of some popular food areas and Osaka cuisine
We did this tour last night with Mich. we were extremely lucky that there was only the 2 of us on the tour so it was very personalised. It was a very, very hot summer night and there is a lot of walking but we managed to keep up. The information Mich provided on the history and food culture was very interesting. Mich is well travelled and appreciates other cultures and nationalities. The places we visited were really alive with so many people. The restaurants she took us to were excellent and the food was plentiful and of high quality. We also saw lots of other highlights that you see in promotional videos on Osaka. There is a subway train section you need to go on but you can tap on and tap off either credit card or transport card if you have one. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and would highly recommend this company and Tour Guide Mich.
