We had the most incredible day with Unscripted Tours in Osaka, and our guide Fukimo made it absolutely unforgettable! From the moment she found us because we exited the train station from the wrong sides. She's warm, friendly, and completely flexible. She even walked us back to our train at the end of the tour to make sure we didn’t get lost again. We thought we’d be walking through markets sampling a few bites here and there, but this tour was so much more. Fukimo had tables reserved for us at local restaurants where we sat down and enjoyed full meals. We tried things like whale and puffer fish and a variety of local alcohol drinks. Everything felt authentic, thoughtful, and adventurous. Fukimo shared so much about the culture and history behind the dishes. It truly felt like exploring Osaka with a knowledgeable friend who wanted to show us their version of the city. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a true taste of Osaka!

Show moreLoys was fantastic. He took both of our unique and individual preferences into account when selecting stops on the tour. The conversion was great and so was the food. He even took extra time to help us find a store we had been looking for. It was a wonderful experience and he is an awesome guide. Thank you Loys!
