Fantastic tour! Hugo is an amazing guide, I would do a tour with him again for sure. Everyone in my group had a great time learning about the history of the less seen areas in Osaka. I do think there should be a disclaimer that this is an “adult only” tour. Did not impact us but I would not recommend bringing children on this tour.

It is a surprising, delightful, and once-in-a-lifetime tour. We absolutely would not have been able to dine at these exceptional Yatai without Bruce's superb guiding. Incredible atmosphere, even better bites. And Bruce made it all fun and easygoing. Probably the best food tour I've ever been on, and I've been on many! Thank you to Bruce for sharing this special part of the world with us.
