Latest reviews from our guests

We were greeted by our tour Guide-Silva who was very friendly and warming. He walked us around the main areas of Kobe and took us to a very nice garden. He was very insightful and easy to talk to. We had a great lunch togehter and we got a good feel of Kobe in the tour. Overall a great experience and must do if visiting for a short trip.

Hiroki met us at our dock and decided, based on our timeline, that rather than taking the train, we should go by car. This allowed us a lot more flexibility in the trip and we saw more sites and we would’ve been able to see otherwise. We saw two temples inside the city, a couple different marketplaces and one temple outside the city. Hiroki was kind enough to drive us to the bullet train station, show us how to get tickets, and write a note that we could give to the taxi driver to make sure that we got back to our ship.

Deep insight & understanding of a smaller but still vibrant town. Our guide, Silva was extremely knowledgeable of the area & will take you behind the scenes of many interesting places with an explanation that is effectively understood & allows you an appreciation from a local perspective.
