About osakastreetfoodtours.com
osakastreetfoodtours.com compares the guided food tours, bar crawls and cooking classes you can book in Osaka. This page says who runs it, how it is paid for and where the facts come from.
Who is behind this site
osakastreetfoodtours.com belongs to Patrick Kühne, an independent travel publisher from Markkleeberg near Leipzig in Germany. He researches, writes and updates a small group of guides to tours and tickets in Japan and elsewhere. There is no editorial team; the person who checks the listings also answers the e-mails.
What this site does
Osaka food tour listings tend to promise a number of dishes and leave the rest vague. We line the bookable tours and classes up by what decides a booking: how many dishes and drinks are actually included, what you pay on top in cash, which district you eat in, how big the group is, and whether a vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or halal guest can join. Where listings contradict themselves, for example on the number of drinks or the length of a class, we point that out.
How we earn money
When you book through one of our links, the booking platform pays us a commission, and the amount you pay for the tour or class stays the same. No operator pays to be listed, and the tables are sorted by number of reviews, not by commission.
Where our information comes from
Prices, ratings and review counts come from the booking platforms and refresh automatically. Tour facts such as meeting points, inclusions, group sizes, age limits and diet rules come from the product listings, checked by hand. Where a listing says nothing, we write "not stated" instead of guessing. Found a tour that has changed its menu or meeting point? Tell us and the table gets corrected.
What we are not
We do not run tours or classes and have no ties to any operator named here. We are also not a restaurant guide: the stops on each tour are chosen by the operator and change with the season. For anything binding, such as cancellations or allergy questions, the operator and the booking page have the final word.
