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!

Great Tour of Kyoto - Had great day tour of Kyoto with Taiga. He made the day enjoyable and with his knowledge of the area it was easy to get around and see most of the sites in a short period of time. Would highly recommend.

Great Tour - Ryan did a great job on our tour. He was on time and we navigated the train to Kyoto from our cruise ship. We had a limited timeframe since we had to get back to the ship but Ryan made the most of it. He was extremely knowledgeable.

Amazing day in Kobe - Was a wonderful day in Kobe although it isn't enough a couple of hours to explain all details of this unknown city. Hope it will be longer next time

Kobe Family Tour with Hubby - It was a quick day trip to Kobe, and Hubby took our family to all highlights and hidden gems of the beautiful place that may be possibly done in a day. There's so much to explore with Kobe, but Hubby managed to guide us to the important places, and gave us insights on where to go next. Hubby also has a kind and meek soul that makes tourists at ease and makes the tour even more fun. Kudos to Hubby for doing a spectacular job!

Discovering Kobe - Marou was such a great guy, we had so much in common and he was able to tell us stories and answer questions. We learnt so much more than if we had just been looking around by ourselves.

Average experience - Our tour guide helped ua find our way throughout the city and gave us aome explanations about the places we saw, but the content was a bit ahort / plain. Some long moments in silence where we would've like a bit of context, facts, anecdotes, etc. He also guided us through the rain for several blocks, when we would've taken the metro to the same destination.. quite uncomfortable.

Kobe on a Sunny Day - My most memorable experiences was the ropeway and walking through the herb garden which overlooks the city.
