What travelers think 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. A fantastic trip with our wonderful guide Ryan, who fulfilled our every wish and even made the fact that we were traveling in a wheelchair no problem.

We had a great tour with Megumi in Kanazawa. Megumi is very responsive and nicely tailored the tour to our wishes. She is very knowledgable and provided background and fun facts and we learned a lot about Geisha and Samurai. The recommendations for places to visit after the tour were excellent. We really enjoyed the serene beauty of the Zen (Suzuki) museum which we otherwise would not have visited. We can highly recommend Megumi as a guide.

Rimi was fantastic, we had a blast. She went beyond telling us historical facts and really brought them to life. We jad already visited many temples and sites of historical importance in our 3 weeks here, so we wanted something more personalized and less general. Rimi is the tour guide you want, regardless of what your expectations are: she will meet them. She is a kind, cultured and very human local from Kanazawa. She completely tailored the tour: we wanted something fast paced, centered around Kanazawa's peculiar history, with quirky facts and to get a deeper knowledge of how the people of this ciry used to live and evolved, to better understand the dynamics at play today. There was a lot of culture, laughs and fun. Rimi also was very helpful with recommendations (food, activities etc) and even helped us getting a booking for the Ninja castle! We only had three days in Kanazawa unfortunately, so this was such a great decision. She pointed at so many things that us, tourists, would not have noticed or understood on our own. She truly opened up our eyes when visiting the geiko and samurai quarters. We loved everything about it.

Richard Borbas provided a memorable experience. We learned a great deal about Budapest, it's history and culture. Would recommend Richard to everyone.
