Latest reviews from our guests

Toru was an amazing guide. He picked us up at the cruise terminal and took us around the sights such as China Town, Meriken Park & Nunobiki Herb Garden Park. We’ve accomplished quite a bit for this half day tours. At the end of our tour, Toru showed us a great place to enjoy Kobe Beef. We were glad our guide was knowledgeable & we highly recommend esp. if you have limited time.

Michelle was able to provide a great experience for us to tour and learn about everything in Kobe. She is a local extremally knowledgeable of the city and provided every little aspect of what Kobe is about. I really recommend it highly if you want to have an in depth understanding of the city.

We worked with CityUnscripted to create an 8 hour tour from Kobe to Kyoto and it was great. Our tour guide, Taiga, communicated well in advance to be sure he had some idea of what we wanted to do and see, met us on time, guided us from our cruise ship to the high speed train, and then through the subway system in Kyoto. We saw many highlights of the City (six hours clearly is not enough to "do it all") and then Taiga made sure we got back to Kobe well in time for our "all aboard". Taiga picked out a very good - but not crowded - local Japanese restaurant in Kyoto (and explained the menu). He was courteous, sensitive to our needs, well versed in the City, and assured that we had a great tour. Highly recommend CityUnscripted for their tours in Japan.
