    Nice personal walking tour around Kobe! Kyoko did a great job of showing us Kobe Harbour land, china town and the new aquarium. She hit the popular tourist spots and took us to Kobe beef at the end which was amazing!! She was wonderful with my kids as well!

    Angelica made sure we saw the real Kobe. We saw it from an observation deck. We went to Chinatown and sampled the street food. We went to a wonderful secondhand store and shopped until we dropped. We ended the day with a real Kobe beef meal. The day was perfect!

    During a cruise stop in Kobe, we met our guide, Ryan, following a brief taxi ride to the city center. The walking tour offered us a comprehensive overview of the city's center. The tour showcased the city's main attractions effectively, and Ryan made sure it was an unforgettable experience. Notably, Ryan was an American who had resided in Kobe for several years. He was an informed and engaging guide, well-acquainted with the city's landmarks, traditions, and culture.

    Marwan was a very friendly and helpful guide. It was a very hot and humid day so walking a lot was not in order. So, after visiting a shrine, we took the subway to the cable car to the top of the mountain and the herb garden. Fantastic views and nice shops at the top with local products. After that, he took us to a local restaurant at which he had made reservations for a 7 course Kobe beef lunch. That was a 4.9 experience. If there was any downside, it was that he was not a native an Egyptian college student who had been in the city only a couple of years so we hesitated to ask him questions he could not answer. With that said, his English was excellent and he was very attentive to our needs. All things considered, a very good visit.
