Reviews of Our Kobe Experiences

Silver did an amazing job of showing us the perfect day, even though it started out with a horrible rain storm. Our favorite part of the day was the herb gardens which by the time we got there the rain had stopped. We had a wonderful leisurely experience there with no crowds. We had a great lunch at his favorite local restaurant and he made my sister very happy by finding her a family store that specialized in homemade rice crackers. Her suitcase home was filled with them.

Fantastischer Ausflug mit unserem tollen Guide Ryan, der jeden Wunsch erfüllt hat und durch den auch die Tatsache, dass wir mit Rollstuhl unterwegs waren, kein Problem war. Ein perfektes Erlebnis, an das wir uns immer wieder gerne erinnern.
