5.00We truly enjoyed our tour with Paul. He took great care of us and he shared interesting stories about Osaka culture. We sampled food in small izakayas which we would not have experienced on our own and we tasted a variety of foods. The tour was well organized and the tour company is wonderful about communicating with us about the tour details. Thank you!
