大阪 たこ焼き ストリートフードツアー

What a wonderful food tour! Gil, our guide had deep knowledge of all the hidden gems, stories of the locations and the food and people were great! Would highly recommend Gil and byfood for the wonderful experience!

Our food tour with lovely guide Sue was perfect! We could taste all famous dishes from Osaka!

This was our favorite tour in Japan! Russ, our guide, was a fantastic host. We got to see numerous spots in the Dotonburi area, learn about the food traditions of Osaka vs other cities, and even got tips on places to visit after the tour. I would recommend this tour, and any tour Russ hosts, without reservation.

Kentaro was our tour guide. He was a font of interesting information about Japan, Osaka and local food.

Our guide, Russ, was very knowledgeable and, true to his Welsh roots, he entertained us with many fun stories and anecdotes about both the old and new Osaka . Wondering through the streets and side alleys, Russ introduced us to many restaurants, shops, and (yes) even a temple that is also home to a large family of cats. As well, a shout out to Virginia who accompanied us as a guide-in-training. Lots of fun and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to experience a special part of Osaka!

We had a lovely time with tour guide Miki, who generously shared her love for her native city, sharing lore and history and funny stories about Osaka, along with its wonderful cuisine. It's a great way to explore the Dotonbori, which can be overwhelming with the crowds and multitude of offerings--Miki guided us at every stop. One recommendation: arrive hungry because there's a lot of delicious food to try!

Really nice tour with lot of knowledge. We could have visited one or two more stores for even more variations of tast, but overall very good

Spencer exceeded our initial expectations as our tour guide for the evening. The tour started a bit awkwardly, but Spencer’s eclectic knowledge helped spark conversations which connected us as a group. The tour started at the bridge overlooked by the popular Glico man where Spencer provided history on the origins of the company and mascot. At the first food stop, we had 4 different types of takoyaki which was the best we’ve ever had - piping hot crispy crust, decadent gooey insides, and juicy pops of chewy octopus. The tour continued through some cute alleyways where Spencer highlighted art work depicting the history of Osaka and a tiny shrine for the 1 inch-high samurai. The next food stop, which we never would have discovered on our own, was a quiet restaurant featuring homestyle cooking. Here we had tonjiru (pork-based soup), agedashi tofu, and a tsukune skewer. Spencer also bought us a round of drinks. We then walked through the busy streets of Dotonbori and marveled at the oversized mascots and kitschy decor above the restaurants. Spencer pointed out the restaurant where conveyor belt sushi was invented, which we went back to try later. The next stop was a busy izakaya packed with locals that would be intimidating for foreigners to enter unguided. We had 2 types of okonomiyaki, chicken karaage, and more drinks. We felt like we got a taste of being a local. Last was a taiyaki stall with hot fish shaped cakes - the perfect street dessert capping a fun night in Osaka!

This tour was an amazing and a wonderful way to experience Osaka. Our tour guide, Miki was very knowledgeable and friendly. She knew all of the best local spots, took us to get some really great food, shared some insight into the history of Osaka, and created a truly unique experience for us. I highly recommend this tour!

This was an amazing tour. We are vegan and our tour guide was extremely accommodating.

Russ was a pretty fun guide for our first night out in Osaka. He exclusively speaks English so if that is something you would like definitely go for the tour. Good food and pretty good conversation throughout!

This was an unforgettable experience on our trip to Japan - we loved the 3 hour tour and were so sad when it finished! Osaka is amazing. The insanely busy streets contrast the tiny food stalls and hidden restaurants. So many delicious things to try - introduced to us by our fun and insightful guide, Taena. She was so knowledgeable about local culture of Osaka and the food there. Taena speaks perfect English and shared great insights as a native Japanese person that she understands is quite revealing for foreigners (she is Japanese but grew up in Australia). Although it says its a nightlife tour it begins in the late afternoon so it finishes quite early in the night if you want to keep drinking and soak up the colourful Osaka atmosphere. We wanted to keep partying so Taena showed us some tiny back alleys with bars that sit only 6 people at a time! (Some serve food but by the end you probably will be full already). It was a pleasure and a highlight of our 3 week trip for sure.
