We did the ULTIMATE OSAKA FOOD TOUR with Remi and it was incredible and tasty! Remi took us to places we wouldn’t otherwise visit in Osaka and we got to try Kushikatsu, incredible Japanese-Korean dishes, local sushi spot, beer, and more. Remi was friendly, funny, informative, insightful, and great to spend a whole day with. DELICIOUS AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I joined OSAKA - ULTIMATE HISTORY FOOD TOUR and enjoyed so much. Very original program visiting local places with a very experienced guide. I enjoyed variety of foods and all of them are so delicious. Definitely this tour is something very different from popular touristic ones. Well organized,good balance of food and sightseeing, and lots of discoveries about real life in Japan. I felt always welcomed by restaurants we visited. If I traveled alone, I would never be able to find Osaka interesting this much. Thank you for the great guiding.

If you're looking for a tour that combines culinary discoveries and history, off the beaten track, I can't recommend the Ultimate Food tour in Osaka enough. For 5 hours, Rémi showed us the real Osaka, with neighbourhoods where you only meet locals. We were able to eat in restaurants we'd never have found on our own, and it was to die for. Rémi's knowledge of the city's history and Japanese culture seemed limitless and we were able to ask all the questions we wanted and learnt a lot.

Our first trip to Japan. Not knowing what to expect, we arranged for a private guide, provided by Japan Tour Adventures, to meet us at the Osaka airport and help us get settled into the country. Our guide was Remi Lopez. He met us just outside of customs. First he offered to help us exchange currency. We didn't travel with a lot of cash. We had expected to withdraw money from an ATM. He directed us to a nearby cash machine and presto we had Yen in hand. He also helped us buy ICOCA cards. These are IC cards you can use on trains and buses in Japan. They can also be used at some convenience stores. We used our cards a lot. Our hotel was in Kyoto and Remi took us to the Osaka train station and helped us buy tickets. We were planning to travel to Hiroshima from Kyoto on a future date. He helped us buy tickets at the train station. That was really helpful. He took us on the train from the airport to Kyoto. I'm a big rail fan and Remi give lots of info about the Japanese rail system. He even tried to get me into the train operator's compartment when we arrived in Kyoto. That wasn't allowed according to railroad regulations. Oh, well. He is an ex-pat from France and he gave us lots of details about living in Japan. When we got to Kyoto, he took us to the spot where the shuttle bus from our hotel would pick us up. A few minutes later the bus arrived and he even rode with us to the hotel and helped us get checked in. Remi was really great and helped us settle in. He was very informative and friendly. I highly recommend him and this service. It went a long way to giving us a good start to our trip.

Had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon discovering the rich culinary history of Osaka the "Kitchen of Japan". Our guides were friendly, knowledge and attentive and guided us through backstreets and around the city on the iconic Loopline as we sampled the various representative dishes of each neighborhood. From Kushikatsu in the shadow of Tsutenkaku tower to Yakiniku BBQ in the historic Korean quarter of Tsuruhashi, before settling into a sushi set and then off to a taproom bar of a local brewery. We appreciated that the portions were just right and left us full but not bloated. One of the best memories of our trip.

As a large family group of 15 with 7 kids under 8yrs old we struggled to find your companies that would cater to our needs. From the very first email while in NZ to the end of our tour with Remi everything was well planned out and awesome!! We did 2 tours on different days We did the biking deer tour with a visit to the knife shop! Wow amazing! One of our highlights from the trip Kyoto walking tour. Although the rain was there all day, we still got to see soo much and Remi adapted the day on the go so that the kids were happy and we didn’t get to wet, he even chucked in a saki testing visit after the famous temple! We are not the easiest of groups to navigate with all of our kids but Remi was an amazing tour guide, knew so much and was so easy to hang with for the day. And the pre organising of the trips couldn’t be faulted Don’t even bother looking elsewhere cause these guys were great!!!

Very nice tour giving a insight to the knife history and making in Sakai. Guide was excellent and taught us alot not only about knives but also about japanese traditions and manners.

I thoroughly enjoyed this bike tour and highly recommend it. I pleasantly surprised by the knife manufacturing shop, the museum, the old shop/town office, and the noodles (well, that wasn't a surprise, just very delicious).

The tour was really fantastic, I enjoyed a lot with different people different languages, it was a nice experience. Hopefully to go again.

This was a brilliant tour around Sakai and well recommended. The course was great and the electric bikes were easy to use. Great tour and will definitely go on it again.
