A true Kobe experience - Michelle was wonderful! I didn't know what to expect with the trip to Kobe as we didn't know much about it compared to the other cities. It was nice to walk with someone who lived in Kobe their entire life, along with time in the US which certainly helped us connect. Got a real feel of the life here. What a wonderful place. Nice living in the mountains and on the water at the same time. Truly beautiful.

Like spending a great day with a friend - Kobe is not a bustling city when compared to others in the area like Osaka and Kyoto. Having a host that explores Kobe with you is really special. Lovely to go to the herb gardens to see the city from the top, go onto the longest suspension bridge in the world, eat magnificent local sushi, see the earthquake memorial site and even play pachinko! A wonderful day out.

Wonderful Himeji experience - During a cruise stop in Kobe, I arranged a tour and met our guide, Kyoko, after a short taxi ride from the cruise terminal. Because we had previously been to Kobe, Kyoko adjusted our itinerary, and instead we made a trip to Himeji. What a wonder decision that was by Kyoko. During the train ride to Himeji, and throughout the day, Kyoko showed herself to be an extraordinarily knowledgeable and attentive guide, and she definitely catered to our interests. The highlight and most memorable site was definitely the Himeji Castle. We plan to return to Japan next October, and I would not hesitate to book another tour with this company, hopefully with Kyoko as our guide again.

Exploring Kobe - Michelle was wonderful and fun. We were lucky to have her as she was born and raised in Kobe. We were travelers not tourists. She took around Kobe where only the locals went which was great. Thank you Michelle!
