We had great time during the tour. Khalid our tour guide was excellent. He was very attentive to our needs. I greatly appreciated that he took extra care of our grandmother who was traveling with us. He brought us to eat Osaka iconic foods of takoyaki, okonomiyaki, yakisoba, and kushiyaki. They were all delicious. We went to restaurants for locals as we asked which were great. We would have never found these restaurants on our own or be able to order the food due to language barrier. I would recommend the tour and Khalid.

Show moreMaría did a great job tailoring the tour to things we hadn't tried yet. We also had an 11 year old with us, so she made sure to include kid friendly bites as well. She took us both through popular areas and areas that are used more by locals. We had a wonderful time and tried over 10 different foods!
Show moreMaria really took time to figure out what food we had already tried, pick out food friendly to our 11 year old and walk us around interesting parts of Osaka's Doniburi neighborhood. We saw local shrines and enjoyed popular areas equally.
Show moreExcellent recommendations and very good service. If we ever needed something the restaurant didn't provide Fumiko jumped up to get it. We had great service at every restaurant picked and wonderful food, and she was understanding of our dietary needs.
