Our guided tour with host Maria lead us to a lot of interesting and bustling places in the vicinities of Dotonbori and Shinsekai districts. Our guide was able to provide a lot of background info, e.g. on the meaning of the "Billiken" statuettes, the hidden Hozen-Ji temple and the reason why there is a sign on Ebisubashi bridge prohibiting diving. We were taken to well-known places, like the Kuromon fish market, but also to places we'd never have entered or even found on our own, like a tiny Karaoke pub (where they sold snake-flavoured booze), a Pachinko salon (a slot-machine hell, just for watching), a house with lots of awkward theme pubs (like one where you attend a funeral while eating) and a very nice conveyor sushi restaurant. We've enjoyed the tour a lot, Maria is a very sympathetic and well-informed guide, fluent in both Japanese and English. She planned the tour from the outset, but also took our interests into account while we were on the road. The only downer was the huge number of people, but that's part and parcel of this place, and it was Saturday. But since we were lead through side alleys where possible (with even more hidden gems inside), we could circumvent them here and there, which is a bonus of a tour given by a local. In a nutshell: Great tour, great guide, highly recommended.

Fumiko was a great guide during our private tour in Osaka. Me and my wife had a great night out for a nice walk with amazing food and drinks in non touristy places. Would definitely go again!
