Reviews
Our guide Ayako was knowledgeable and had great English. She went above and beyond to make our day as seamless as possible and we had a great day exploring the sights of Kobe. The confirmation email received from the company prior to the tour perfectly explained the itinerary for the day and even included photos of where to meet and a photo of our guide. Our only suggestion would be to add the expectation to pay for the guides lunch as an item not covered in the tour cost. While we didn’t mind, it would be good to know this in advance before booking the tour.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Japan and was very flexible with the itinerary. It was very nice to have someone to guide us to our locations without the stress of using the trains. But also be ready to walk!
KK San was our guide for the day and it was a private tour for my parents and myself. She was highly knowledgeable about Kobe and provided us with valuable insights and history about each attraction. She was very friendly and often helped to take pictures for my family. She was also very accommodating about the schedule and even helped to call a restaraunt to facilitate my dinner reservation for after the tour. The Herb Garden was truly beautiful and the weather during the Autumn season in October was simply lovely. I had the most amazing Lavendar ice cream there and would definitely recommend it to all travellers. The tour itinerary on Klook seemed rather misleading as it turned out to be a walking tour (and we even had to self-pay a taxi to get to the sake museum due to time constraints), so some consideration should be given for travellers with mobility issues. Overall, I had a pleasant experience and although the itinerary could well be self-guided, the addition of KK San's commentary at each location made the tour all the more worth the money spent.
We enjoyed our time in Kobe. Our tour was laid back, flexible and our tour guide gave us enough time to enjoy each venue. We appreciate that they gave us restaurant options for our lunch (separate expense) taking note of our dietary needs. We would not have been able to find a similar dining experience without their help. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable as well. As it is a walking tour, be sure to wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. Recommended for a group of adults.
We really had a good time in Kobe. KK San who is the local guide is very kind,knowledgeable and very supportive to our group during our trip. This is our first time having a local guide to the trip, this helps us understand more of the city and everywhere that we go. This is one of our good memory in our trip. It is also great that the program is flexible to our private group which we have small children,so we were recommended to cruising instead which is a great choice. We were enjoy it very much. However, the optional program may need to pay the entry fee by ourselves but for us it is alright,we are fine with this choice. We are glad that we booked this program and we will try it next time.
Our tour was very enjoyable. All of the attractions on the tour were very interesting! Our guide, Naoko, was excellent. When the ropeway to the herb garden was suspended due to gusty winds, she nimbly pivoted to another attraction that was every bit as interesting and graciously covered the ticket cost. We had a lot of fun and were very pleased with our experience. Highly recommended!
Mizuho was a wonderful guide. She made the tour nice. She was so understanding as well when i was late due to going to the incorrect station. As for the tour itself, I feel that there's still something a bit lacking with the itinerary.. even though I was late we still ended early.
We enjoyed the tour. Well planned out to take in the key sites in Kobe. The herb garden and harbour visit, as well as the sake brewery and tasting were particularly noteworthy.
The tour guide is attentive and professional, the communication is very harmonious, the itinerary and arrangements are very good, the distance to the scenic spots is appropriately selected, and the time is perfect. It is worth recommending.
