What Visitors Are Saying
Jonah - United States (★★★★★): "We started our short visit to Osaka with this tour and really enjoyed this experience! Bernie was our guide and he did a fantastic job showing us around the area and ordering us a wide variety of cuisine. Make sure to come hungry (and thirsty for those over 21) since it’s a very generous amount of ordering at a pretty quick pace. For those lucky enough to get Bernie, you will really enjoy his charm, kindness and humor as well. Can’t recommend this tour enough!"
