Amazing food tour - come hungry and ready to have a good time.
We had an a great time on our food tour with Yuichi! Along with being a native Japanese he also has spent time abroad and is very knowledgeable of other food customs which made our tour with Yuichi feel very personalized. He also had notes on our allergies and kept it in mind as we went to the food spots. It was great to spend time with him in a local area of Osaka, where each venue offered dishes from the area and there was a LOT to eat. Yuichi also gave us the history on the foods we were trying what was great.
Be sure to come hungry and get ready to have a great time on this food tour.

What an amazing tour!...
What an amazing tour! Matt was so knowledgeable and friendly. He was great at explaining not just about what made each dish special but also the history of the area. Also, the portions were so generous! I’ve done other food tours and left hungry. Not this one! Our tour ended around 3p and I have no plans to eat again today!

Highlights of First time Osaka visitors
This tour we had James as our tour guide. He is very professional and is knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited. We had a very pleasant time. If we did those visits ourselves we would have spent much more time. We highly recommend this tour who are not familiar with Osaka.

Amazing Food, Great Guide, True Osaka Experience
This food tour in Osaka was an absolute highlight of our trip. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the city, its neighborhoods, and the local food culture, and shared great context and stories throughout the tour.
The food and drink selections were excellent and thoughtfully chosen, varied, and absolutely delicious. We got to try places and dishes we never would have found on our own, and every stop felt authentic rather than touristy.
I highly recommend this tour to any visitor who wants to truly experience Osaka through its food. It’s a fantastic way to explore the city, learn along the way, and enjoy amazing local flavors.

A rainy deer, matcha and shrines expe
Before going to the park to feed the deer make sure you get tips on how to feed them otherwise you’ll be bumped and chased, some are feisty, although it was raining, the beautiful shrines we visited cannot dampen the experience. Elisa our guide made sure that the trip is wholesome, she gave us the best places to eat and shop. We snagged some Uji matcha and ate matcha delicacies, must try soba matcha lunch. Two thumbs up for Elisa!

Deep Backstreet Osaka Tours
My partner and I recently joined in on this tour through Osaka's backstreets and we had a great time! Knox was our guide and he was excellent - personable, entertaining and above all, informative - and very happy to answer all of our questions. We also really appreciated his efforts to not make light of some of the more sensitive/serious subjects we came across during the tour.
We were really amped to see some of the places along the tour's route that we never would have stumbled across otherwise and really appreciated the tips on other sights to see (or not see) and food spots to check out.
The tour is well worth it for anyone interested in seeing and learning more about Osaka outside of the typical stuff.

Very Heartfelt & Informative Tour
This was by far the most informative tour my Husband and I have been on yet. If you’re a person who appreciates history and cultural I would recommend booking this tour. Our tour guide Cesar was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Japan and you can tell he enjoys it. There was so much passion in his words we felt every lesson. The bus we drove on was so big and cozy. The bus driver Oe-San so very friendly and professional. My only recommendation would be to spend more time at Hiroshima and maybe add the castle on the trip. Other than that we have no complaints. If you’re looking for a great tour whose tour guide is patient, funny, knowledgeable and is accommodating to everyone’s walking limitations. Then book with Amigo tours and make sure you get Cesar as your guide.

Highly recommended day in Osaka
Wonderful tour with Maria. We saw not only some of the most popular sites in Osaka but also areas more frequented by locals. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Osaka - especially for the first time. And if you want an exceptional and fun guide who speaks excellent English, request Maria. She was terrific.

Great guide, great experience.
It was fast paced, but allowed us to see a lot. Saw several shrines, temples, Osaka Castle, and shopping/local areas. The Guide, Yama, explained everything we encountered and experienced very thoroughly. He spoke very good English and added a bit of humor that made it educational and fun!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Japan's second city, Osaka, is an exciting destination in its own right, and it provides a base for exploring beyond the city. Osaka day trips are often themed to suit a particular interest or niche activity, from food tours to exploring backstreets that you might not otherwise find. Tours beyond the city visit some of western Japan's most beautiful and iconic landmarks, including ancient temples and castles, traditional villages, and sites of spiritual significance. Whatever your reason for taking a day trip to or from Osaka, you'll find a suitable tour.
