Review for: Backstreets of Shinsekai Half Day Food Tour

This was a wonderful tour full of wonderful food and amazing spots in Osaka. Would highly recommend. Our tour guide (Kevin) was especially wonderful and made everyone on the tour feel at home. Would highly recommend and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Best way to experience Osaka is to go on a food tour just like this one. Priority access to less touristy restaurants, informative and friendly guide, and great food. Our guide Taka was very friendly, funny and answered all our questions. Highly recommend! 🤗

Nick was fantastic. He balanced history with wit all while maintaining Japan's respect and culture. Each restaurant we visited was delicious. He explained the food and why the location is part of the tour. I was hesitant to do this because it's our first time to Japan and what if we didnt like something? That was not the case. I highly recommend this adventure if you want to both sight see and indulge in local delicious cuisine.

We had a great time trtying out many different foods. Eventhough our guide was Candaian, he was very knowledgable about the area and about Japanese cuisine and customs. The food was delicious and the beverage options both alcoholic and non were great.

The Osaka Shinsekai food tour was an incredible experience, offering a deep dive into the vibrant local cuisine. From Karaage to takoyaki, every bite was a delight. Special mention to Marc, our guide, whose passion and knowledge made the tour both informative and entertaining. Highly recommended for food lovers!

Review for: Backstreets of Shinsekai Half Day Food Tour

Shout out to our guide, Michael "The Backstreet Boy" and his very weird, favorite cocktail with Calpis. He brought us to seemingly very local bars & restaurants around Shinsekai, and we ate a TON of varied, famous Osaka food. Value for money was excellent just on the amount of food offered (none of us in the group could finish them hehe), but Michael's insights and anecdotes as a foreigner living 5 years in Japan heightened the experience. He even shook things up with a minigame (with a prize!) and a photoshoot with Tsutenkaku tower.

Review for: Osaka Shinsekai Night Food Tour with Local Guide

Had a great time with Yuichi and Knox and the tour. Really enjoyed the group size, and the chance to see parts of Osaka (and try foods) we would not have otherwise. This is a tasting tours… lots of little bites and a few drinks over multiple stops. Be prepared for this going in… there is lots of sharing but we felt like it added up to a nice amount of food. Loved the chance to try some foods (and a few drinks!) we would not have otherwise. (How did I not know about the lemon sour?!) The guides really made it fun and entertaining, weaving around to several spots while sharing fun facts. (And answering burning questions you didn’t know you needed to know like “What is a tomato sour?” “Why is my beer green?” “What animal is not a fan of the shamisen?” And “What’s up with that gold baby?” Thanks for a fun night!
