Reviews of Our Kobe Experiences

Reka was absolutely amazing! We had so much fun and tried/leaned so many new things. It was incredible to feel so comfortable while so far from home and we truly felt like we got the most of our time in Kobe with our locals help.

Our tour guide, Max, made this tour an unforgettable one. We learned a lot about Japan, its people, the food, and the city of Kobe from him. We look forward to coming back soon!

Max was an excellent guide. The places he took us to and the food he chose and had us try (and the beer!) were all very delicious. We felt more like locals and learned a lot in this specific tour out of all the ones we participated in. If you want to know more about Kobe and even other cities in Japan, he’s your guide!

So great! We never would have been knowledgeable enough or brave enough to find the deliciousness to which Taiga led us on our food tour. Didn’t even know akashiyaki was a thing. How small can a gyoza shop be? Now we know. Taiga was an awesome, knowledgeable, friendly host to spend a few hours with tasting the delights of Kobe.

Taiga was awesome, knowledgeable and so friendly. We would not have been brave enough to try akashiyaki or to dive into the teeny gyoza shop without our host. Really fun afternoon overall.

Our guide was amazing and really accommodated our interests. We found some amazing out-of-the-way locals spots that we never would have found on our own. City UnScipted guides are highly recommended.
