Private Tour via Public Transport

Published on Apr, 2025

Alessandro was an excellent local guide.He took us to Kyoto via train after meeting us at Kobe Port then used public transportation in Kyoto. City. We were able to see the Golden Temple. Shrine of 10000 gates Bamboo Forest, and the Geisha District.all in 9 hours. This tour is a great value for a private tour.

Sebastian was an excellent guide!

Published on Apr, 2025

We booked a 4 hr private tour in Kobe for our family of 5. We had Sebastian as our tour guide and he was excellent. He was knowledgeable about the area, had excellent suggestions, engaged with our kids, was friendly, present and aware and all around a wonderful guide! We saw the Herb Garden & Ropeway, & Sebastian recommended an excellent high end restaurant Mouriya Lin because we wanted to try Kobe beef. We had time to stop in at an animal cafe which was a highlight for our kids. Sebastian was the best tour guide we had out of all of our stops in Oskaka, Kobe and Tokyo. The tour guide you are assigned makes all the difference and Sebastian was fantastic!

an enjoyable walking tour

Published on Nov, 2024

It was a great day. Our guide Allysa was excellent. Although we had much less time than originally planned for our visit to Kobe (due to disembarkation issues with Royal Caribbean's Spectrum of the Seas), we have managed to see most of what was on our bespoke itinerary and get a proper taste of the city and the surrounding area. Allysa also booked us into an excellent Kobe beef teppanyki restaurant for our dinner. The food, the culinary demonstration and the price were all fantastic. We enjoyed our visit to Kobe, Arima Onsen and the Mount Rokko very much indeed :-)
