I highly recommend this tour. Damian is a fantastic guide! He kept our group of 6 (4 adults, 2 high school teenagers) entertained with interesting cultural info on osaka/tokyo rivalry, love hotels, girly bars, adult DVD private rooms, pachinko, interesting grocery store food items, etc. We supped on delicious small plates including local specialities such as horse and whale! and beer/sake/shochu/soda at 2 stand up bars and 1 sit down bar.When he learned we liked karaoke he offered to take us to a karaoke bar after the tour was officially over. He and my family took turns singing for a good 45 mins. It was a highlight of our Japan trip. It really helped having a local navigate our first Japan karaoke experience.

We booked this experience last minute and have zero regrets! It is everything described and more. Andres was a fantastic guide and an endless wealth of knowledge on Japan, Japanese culture, and great food spots open only to locals! The tour around the Gion district was great and we learned a lot history. Andres’s knowledge of Japanese history was great and we learned a lot of fun facts like what the writing on temple lanterns mean, (you’ll have to go on the tour to find out!) and what tea houses are and their connection to Geishas. We were even lucky to see two Geishas on our tour!The restaurants we visited were fantastic and off the beaten path. They definitely cater to the local community. The food and drinks were delicious and we were stuffed by the end of the night!This tour is worth the time and money. It will give you an appreciation for the temples you are visiting, the neighborhoods in Kyoto, and the amazing food. A must do!!! Thank you Andres!

We had a such a great time on this full day Osaka tour. Kevin was really great and friendly and such a knowledgeable English speaking guide. He knows everything there is to know about Osaka and Japan. The day was very well planned and having a car made the day so much more relaxing and effortlessly fun! Communication before the tour was also great, we knew before our trip started we were in good hands! He even showed us parts of Osaka we wouldn’t have on our own, just like a local. Very worthwhile if visiting Osaka. Can’t wait to come back again some day!
Very fun, informative evening.

Viator review: Nighttime All-Inclusive Local Eats and Streets, Gion and Beyond Had a great evening being shown around by Joshua in our small group. The tour was in very clear native English, but he conversed with the local Japanese with ease - this was very helpful when discussing sake recommendations.To set expectations, think of this as a walking tour of Gion that has two food+drink stops. One at more of a standing bar, the other in the backstreets at a small sit-down counter spot. Both very authentic and places we'd never have thought to check out on our own. Loved the food and company, would recommend.
Wonderful Tour

We had an amazing day with Dan as our guide. Dan was able to show us around Osaka while also teaching us the way of life in Osaka. The day was spent as if we were speaking to a friend. Money well spent. The information we learned could not have been gained from reading travel guides or signs at locations.
Great Guide and a Comfortable Ride

We had a great time with Levy. He has been living in Japan for more than 20 years and knew a lot about Osaka and its surrounding area; the historical and cultural sites as well as the various districts worth visiting for food, shopping and sightseeing. We were able to customize our trip, which gave us an opportunity to see a good mix of places, including those not well known from tourists, while skipping otyers had already gone to. He is very knowledgeable on any subjects and super easy-going. I recommend this tour: being driven around in a air conditioned car on a hot summer day was much more comfortable than public transportation and allowed us to see much of Osaka in just one day.

Kevin was a wonderful guide. He communicated with me a few days before, was there to meet us and provided an excellent tour. He was welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable about Japan after living many years there. He was super nice about taking pictures of my daughter and me. He also provided time for us to go tea shopping at the end. I'm recommending him to friends who will be traveling to Japan in the near future.
Amazing way to spend an evening in Kyoto

Had the best evening with this tour. I was traveling by myself and wanted to do something with a group that included food so I decided on this event.Ferdinand was amazing at making sure everyone felt included and comfortable. He got everyone talking to where we all felt like old friends by the end of the night. I was the only solo traveler in the group (3 couples) and he certainly made sure I wasn't left out.He was also extremely knowledgeable about the history and the food of Kyoto. I especially had a blast at our second restaurant where the owner was incredibly friendly. Would love to do another tour if I ever go back.
My family of 6 enjoyed our customized tour. Ask for Levy, our tour guide!

He customized our tour to maximize our experience since we had already seen many traditional areas like shrines and temples during our time here, he Re showed us modern Osaka and all it's glory. He also has a gave us a lot of interesting historical information for a well reounded tour. Thank you Levy for such a unique and tailored experience that my family will not forget! I recommend asking for Levy

We believe a Hiroshima tour should be added to your Japan itinerary if you’re visiting for a week or more. The immensity of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum is something moving and to be reckoned with. Beyond that, there is of course Miyajima and other sights less visited.
