We had a fantastic tour from Aiden W10 for our last night in Japan. He gave us a dynamic and fun tour through Osaka's Shinsekai district, hitting the key spots. It was a awesome experience to cap off out two week trip. Highly recommended!

My wife and I had a great time with Aiden (AidenW10) looking around the Shinsekai district of Osaka. Aiden was very helpful in showing us the fried octopus fritters, sweet bean pastries, fried meat and veggies on a stick, and izikaya udon and red snapper. Aiden was a great chat and a great host to spend a few hours in Osaka!

Had a great experience with our guides Rus and Olivia. Lots of history and local knowledge. Food and sake tastings were great as were the many laughs. We were lucky to be the only two people on the tour.
