Our tour guide Kodai was great from the beginning til the very end. He was very good with communication through WhatsApp. He created a customized tour for us while we were in Kobe. He was very knowledgeable with all the surrounding and history of Kobe, which was what we asked him for. He was also very considerate since we had young kids to stop and rest. Overall, we all enjoyed our tour very much and we highly recommend this to anyone who wants a customized guide in Kobe.

We had a great time exploring Kobe with Kodai. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and really did a great job making sure we were able to do everything we wanted. You can’t beat the value for this tour, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kobe. It is especially good for those visiting on a cruise ship.

I had a short list of “must dos” in Kobe, and Kodai met them all. He is extremely personable and his English odd exceptional! Great Japanese lunch, strolled Chinatown sampling, sake museum tasting and shopping, and then Kobe beef. We highly recommend him as your personal guide.

We were very grateful to be able to visit the tourist sites according to our guests' wishes. I think you can leave it to us, or you may want to come up with a plan that is somewhat specific. I appreciate the flexibility of the time.
