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!

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.
Very little background and information

We met our guide for a 6 hour tour of Kobe, our first time here. He was such a nice young man, excellent English, studying in Japan. He chaperoned us to many of the “must see” sights but there was a complete lack of any information about what we were seeing. His knowledge of Japanese culture and history was severely lacking, as he has only been in the country a couple of years and has apparently not taken the opportunity to learn things he could pass on to the tour guests. But we really enjoyed getting to know him, and he was very helpful in showing us how to navigate the metro and high speed trains. My husband and I spent another $200 out of pocket to cover entrance fees and metro and train tickets (including the guide’s). It was a bit of a waste since he could provide no information when we were in the attraction other than knowing which way to go. There we English pamphlets available at each attraction and English on most signs in the attractions. We read those as we toured, while the guide just walked with us. It was pretty frustrating considering the cost of the tour, and our limited time in Kobe. The tour is mid-named as our guide was not a “local”.
Excellent tour!

Marwan picked personalized sites to see. I was thrilled to go up the gondola to see the lovely “Herb Garden” which is filled with flowers and plants with paths down the mountainside
