Kobe tour - Kodai gave us a great tour around Kobe. We had given Kodai our preferences via WhatsApp and he was able to show us everything we asked for. Although a young tour guide, he was very enthusiastic and we were able to understand everything he spoke about. A visit to a local cafe gave us the amazing experience of ‘Okonomiyaki’ , a very popular local dish prepared in front of us and kept hot on a heated plate in the table. Something not to be missed. A very polite guide with great local knowledge

You Will NOT be disappointed— GREAT tour - Great tour with Kodai , at first we were a little concerned because it was a very reasonable price, but we were definitely not disappointed. He communicated great throughout the whole process, highly recommended you communicate with him on WhatsApp as much easier then the Viator app. We travel all over the world and it was one of the best Tours ever. He was very personal, took it at our speed and stopped when we wanted and gave us a great history lesson of Kobe and lots of knowledge about the surrounding area. He speaks great English and just wants to learn more and all of the weird American idioms . After we finished we Had a great lunch and he made sure we got on the train and got back to our hotel . We only had one full day in Kobe and glad we spent it with him- Highly recommended this tour

Great day out in Kobe! - We had a wonderful day in Kobe. The sun was out, it was cherry blossom season and our young guide, Kodai, was there to help us enjoy the best of Kobe. Thank you very much indeed!!

Five Star Personalised Tour - Our young guide met us, as arranged, at the hotel, we discussed a plan, and then walked and taxi to various destinations. On the way he guided my partner in and out of shops and gave advice about shopping. He took us to a traditional cafe for morning tea and a traditional restaurant for the best lunch we have had in Japan. We have been well and truly looked after by a fine young man, entertained, educated and informed. Absolutely recommend you try it. Be a little bit patient and caring and generous and the reward is great.

Great tour! - Don’t be put off that this tour is with a student. Our young guide was just fabulous. Very personable and knowledgeable about the area we visited. There’s a lot of walking but great not to be on a bus with lots of people! Highly recommended!

My student guide was... - My student guide was Kodai and he was very personable. He communicated proactively in advance of the tour to ensure he could customize the tour to my interests and was very accommodating in picking a meeting place on day of tour. He was very punctual and spent as much time possible explaining about the city, culture and neighborhoods/sites we visited. I really enjoyed learning about Kobe from his perspective and was very happy that I got end the tour with special sake tasting!

Nice tour - Kodai was our guide. He was prompt and flexible on meeting place. He communicated with me via WhatsApp prior to the tour and sent me an itinerary. We walked through Kobe for almost three hours visiting different areas. We wanted to end with a Sake tasting and a little something to eat. Kodai made reservations at a restaurant that had numerous sakes. We let him order for us and he did a great job. The sake was good and the amount of food was perfect, just enough to tide us over til dinner. When we mentioned we would like to purchase some sake, he took us to a store and helped pick it out. He was very helpful and accommodating.
