Garden tour in Kobe - Marwan picked personalized sites to see. I was thrilled to go up the gondola to see the lovely “Herb Garden” which is filled with flowers and plants with paths down the mountainside

Great day exploring some hidden gems of Kobe - We had a most enjoyable day walking and talking and exploring Kobe. Michelle was an excellent Guide and really took the trouble to understand what it was we wanted to see on our tour. By the end of the day, we felt we had a greater appreciation of Kobe and understanding of what it was like to live there.

A great day exploring Kyoto, Japan. - We spent a day with Ryan, who was an excellent low-key guy focused on helping us do and see whatever we wanted in Kyoto. Our group of four had varying interests and physical limits and Ryan accommodated everyone. His knowledge of the area and its history was very helpful and kept us engaged and wanting to know more.

The Perfect Tour! - This was an exceptionally delightful tour! Angelica, our charming guide, provided us with perfect tour - seeing Kobe like a local. Angelica’s knowledge of the main areas and hidden areas gave us a deep appreciation of Kobe. It’s now our favorite city in Japan. We took many, many tours during our trip to Japan, and this one was our very favorite!
