Best Night in Osaka

Published on Dec, 2024

Trey was amazing! Great hidden gems and food stops. Best to do this tour your first day so you can learn all the great spots and helps foreigners to meet locals and experience all the beauty osaka night life has to offer. Trey was engaging and very informative. I've been a tour guide in hawaii for 20+years and really enjoyed myself. I'd recommend this tour to anyone coming to osaka and make sure you get Trey as your tour guide

Danyk was very informative, but made the entire tour very fun! We ate so much great food that I would've never thought to try on my own. Afterwards he took us to a few awesome bars for some great memories. Thanks again Danyk!!

Would do this tour again and will be recommending to my friends. So unique, fun and unexpected. Rodney kept us on our toes and it was such a vibe! Easily one of our most fun nights.

Great tour, great guide.

Best tour of our trip to Japan!

This tour was AMAZING! Rodney organized an experience for us that felt authentic, respectful to locals, and super fun. What I loved is that only two of the stops were predetermined (the food stops) and the rest was left up to chance. Rodney has a great joking personality and lots of relationships all around town. It felt good to be in his company (and with our tour mates) because we got to go to so many hidden gems and everyone had good fun loving energy. I wish we had even more time in Osaka to explore this left such a good impression on us. 15/10 recommend!
