Deep Backstreet Osaka Tours

Lucas was awesome and very knowledgeable. Took us to some great locations and explained everything well to us. Would do this tour again. Lucas is great!

Such a well thought out tour that prodded into the inner workings of real life in Osaka. I felt like I really understood the quirks, charms and subcultures of this great city. Andy was an absolute laugh-a-minute and entertained thoughout. Highly Recommended for those over 18yrs.

Extremely interesting tour of places in Osaka I definitely wouldn't have come across without going on this tour. I've visited Osaka many times in the last few years but this was a much deeper, real look. Andy took us on a journey that consisted of issues such as Yakuza, the red light district, gambling, retro Osaka and great food. Highly recommended to those a bit more curious than the average person.

his tour is a great way to explore the stories of Osaka that only a few know, let alone have seen for themselves. Even native Japanese only hear about these places and Backstreet Osaka Tours will give you the opportunity to explore them. Under the guidance of relaxed people with great in-depth knowledge of the Osaka area I dare you to fire up a question of which they cannot answer. Strongly recommend this tour to get a glimpse of literally the backstreets of Osaka. Cheers Andy and the team, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

We did the Backstreets tour with Lucca and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Lucca’s knowledge of his topic and generosity in sharing was impressive. We saw so many places in Osaka we wouldn’t have seen or heard about if we hadn’t done this walking tour. Would highly recommend but you need to be prepared for 3 hours walking. Thanks Lucca.

Bennett raced around very fast ! Not accomadating to my age wouldn’t recommend for seniors ! He didn’t drop us off at subway as stated in description . Group to big !!!should be 5 or less

We went on the evening Deep Backstreet Tour on Jan. 15. Andy and Luca were our guides. We arrived late after the group had left, but Luca kindly waited for us and quickly caught us up. We visited gambling parlors, "rough" neighborhoods, Shinsekai, red light districts, shopping arcades, and other areas. Andy and Luca were both extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and kept the tour lively and well-paced. They treated us to hot street food, very appreciated on a chilly night. We could not stay for the dinner option although the rest of the group did. We would definitely go with Andy and Luca again on the other Backstreet Osaka tours. Laura & Vinson

Unusual look at Osaka without the typical tour feeling. A chance to sample some local food with a look at part of Osaka that woukd never been found in tour books

our tour guide was Sasha. Well presented tour that makes you curious for more. We crossed over to the "slums"/ no go to tourists" area and saw some real life dirt. So glad police was called. Real people. after the tour, we all had a drink or 5 with the guides. Genuine people and a great insight to living in Osaka

It was good to be able to see the other sides of Osaka. Our guide was cheery and the tour itself was informal. Recommended.
