Traveler reviews
Iconic food tasting in Dotonbori district
Food tour in the main tourist area and very crowded at our 5.30 pm start time. First food stop consisted of crumbed fried skewers and had to miss our octopus food stop as too crowded then Dinner at iconic pancake’s restaurant . Tour guide also showed us popular tourist photo spots as we walked around.
Osaka Food Tour
5/5 — Outstanding Osaka food tour We had an incredible time on our food tour in Osaka. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and genuinely fun — he knew the city, the food, and how to keep the group engaged without ever feeling rushed or scripted. We had an awesome time with him from start to finish. The food was excellent. Every stop delivered, and we enjoyed it immensely. It was the kind of tour that makes you feel like you’re eating with a local who actually cares that you leave happy and full. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a well-run, tasty, and entertaining way to experience Osaka.
Great tour!
