Awesome tour with Naoki : )
"Naoki was such an amazing guide! He met us with a huge smile and showed us the exciting food stalls of Shisekai and Dotonbori. Naoki was very considerate of my hubby's slower pace and told us interesting facts and stories about each area. Naoki took us to a quiet acne serene temple in the middle of Dotonbori. He also offered to take many photos of us, which was a bonus, since we don't have many photos of the both of us. We had takoyaki, okonomiyaki and a refreshing drink at a delicious food establishment at the end of the tour. Naoki even took us to Osaka station and ensured we knew how to get back to our hotel in Kobe before parting ways. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Naoki and will refer him to our friends and family, and will request him on our next visit to Japan. "

Great afternoon with Pere!
"We had a wonderful afternoon with Pere doing the Street Food Tour. He has such a great interest in all things food and took us to sample so many great foods. Pere is very discerning with his recommendations so you will eat very well and enjoy the whole experience! We wouldn't have been able to see and eat so much good food without him :) "

Outstanding Osaka Experience with Hiromi
"We had an amazing time with Hiromi. She really knows where the hotspots are in Osaka. This is our first time traveling to Japan, so it is really important for us to have someone local to assist us in locating those wonderul places. Specially in Osaka, where food is everywhere, it is hard to locate those rare hidden spots. Hiromi is the perfect person to have to make your experience worthwhile."

Amzazing Experience
"My family was lucky enough to experience "10 tastings of Osaka" with Naoki. He took us through Shin-Sekai, Dontonbori, and Samba area in Osaka. Naoki is from Osaka and took us to 3 amazing restaurants and 1 food stand. He not only taught us about the food, but he also took us to some popular spots and temples where he taught us about the history. He was very knowledgeable about all things Osaka. We learned so much on this tour and came out with a better understanding of their culture and history. I can't imagine coming to Osaka and not doing this experience. Naoki was so generous and fun. He was an excellent host and I highly recommend any tour with him. Naoki, Thank you so much for this amazing experience and generosity."

Come hungry!
"Our family of four, two adults and two teenage children, had a wonderful time with Hiromi! She easily accommodated some food restrictions we have and we had PLENTY to eat. We had delicious treats from different areas of town and Hiromi was able to tell us about the city and popular things to see or do while we walked in between stops. We’d highly recommend anyone to book with Hiromi. Just remember to come hungry!"

Best Guide Ever
"We chose Naoki by pure luck, we’re so grateful, he was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, we could not have had a better tour, we ate in 4 separate spots with drinks in each and Naoki’s local knowledge was invaluable. If you are coming to Osaka or surrounding areas choose Naori. His English is amazing, Manchester accent is amazing!"
