Walking tour
I happy to have Bryan as my tour guide tonight. He knows the area very well both about history and geography. It’s interesting to get to know both good and bad neighborhoods during the tour. At the end of the tour, Bryan also showed us the way back to the hotel, that is very nice of him .

Osaka's underbelly tour
Very breezy walk around Osaka's backstreets, including the roughest neighborhood in Japan - which means perfectly safe. Tour was conducted by the knowledgeable and friendly tour guide Brian, and I would definitely recommend for a different look at Osaka

Great tour
The tour was great, exactly the information we needed to see the full picture of Japan. The guide was kind and very helpful, and gave us awesome recommendations. We enjoyed the tour very much and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning about the real Japan

Worthwhile !
Rutti , our guide , who has lived in the country for a decade was very knowledgeable. It’s a 3 hour walking tour where we got see the parts of Japan nobody talks about . The highlight of the trip isn’t the places we got to see but the conversations we had about “taboo” topics . The goal is not to paint Japan in a bad light but to get a wholistic picture . 10/10 recommend

Awesome/different tour!
Very great tour! Loved that it was new things we learned about Osaka that you wouldn't learn on other tours! Our host Randy was super knowledgeable! Will definitely suggest this to anyone I know coming to Osaka!

Great tour
Marie was a great guide! She was so sweet and she explained everything well. I would definitely recommend if you want to see some of the less touristic parts of Osaka.

Besides the shine
Brian did an awesome tour of the less shiny streets and locations of Ōsaka. The informations were very detailed and solid. If you are bored of the glamourous and lame places than this is the right thing for you.

Bryan is very knowledgeable about the area, and his energy makes for a fun night in town!
A very thorough tour of Osaka with a particular focus on areas that you would likely miss out as a tourist. Bryan was meticulous and insightful, and the tour is more comprehensive than you would expect! The udon noodles pit stop was a nice surprise
