GREAT EXPERIENCE! We had an amazing food tour in Osaka with Damian. He took us to 3 different izakayas in the nightlife areas of Osaka and selected menus to showcase many different Osaka specialties. We loved how he explained what an izakaya is and how they serve the local population. He ordered foods that anyone might order, but also some “stretch foods” that tourists might not order on their own. He even adapted his last stop to accommodate requests and our group had a great time! It is really difficult to try to explore izakayas alone as a tourist because of the language barrier and Damian was a great guide who gave us an amazing night eating and drinking with the locals. If you want to really experience the izakaya and learn about the evening culture in Osaka, Damian is the top guide to go with!

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.
