餃子 美食之旅(4)

Our guide Natalie was very good at taking us to the local great restaurants in our area. We got to eat a great variety of local Osaka cuisine

Bruce is the man! Me and my partner booked a food tour with Bruce not knowing what to expect, after a quick intro we walked while we talked, on our way to our first Yatai stop. It became apparent quick that Bruce really knows his stuff! He has been living in Japan for 40 odd years, can speak the language fluently and has developed relationships with the locals over that period, so it gives you that VIP feel while you’re on the tour with him. We would highly recommend going on tour with him if you’re in Fukuoka!

Bruce was a terrific guide! Rather than yatai hopping down by the canal, Bruce took us to a long-time family run yatai in the Tenjin area that was well-known to him - and they had seats held and waiting for us! But before they were set up and ready to serve, Bruce took us for some 'conveyer belt' sushi nearby. Delicious! At the yatai we tried a variety of delicious foods and ate until we could eat no more. Took a walk after and finish with delicious gelato! We wanted to visit a yatai with a guide because it seemed a bit daunting to us to enter one, sit elbow to elbow with others and try to figure out what to eat! Glad we took the tour - it was a great night!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Backstreet tour. Rudy was an outstanding guide. He was engaging and knowledgeable. We learned so much about Osaka that we did not know. The dinner afterward had a great selection of local specialties that we all loved. Thank you for the great time

We had an amazing time with Mark as our guide. We discovered a new area (for us) of Osaka while sampling delicious food and drink. We made new friends along the way and highly recommend this experience!
