This tour was absolutely amazing! We got to visit amazing hidden gems that you would have no idea about unless you had an experienced tour guide. The places we went had delicious food, wonderful drinks, and we had a great time! We felt like we got a lot of special treatment because I think the guys who run the tour really know the vendors that we visited and foster a great relationship. I liked that our group was small and intimate so we got to learn a lot about the food and culture of Osaka. Woody is a great guide! I would recommend taking a tour with him! He's hilarious and we had such a great time. The pace was leisurely and I never felt rushed during the tour! It was simply a spectacular night. If you take this tour, come hungry! We had so much food, we were bursting at the seams! And when you go on this tour, make sure to ask them to take you to see Kenny! That was definitely the highlight of the night! If you are visiting Osaka, make sure to add this to your agenda and you will NOT regret it! By far, it was the best and most filling tour of our trip!
