Sake Tasting with Hiroman and Mami
This was such a fun sake tasting tour! Hiroman and Mami were amazing tour guides with so much knowledge. Hiroman told us all about the sake making process and the current culture. Mami was in training but she also provided a lot of information and answered our questions about Japan. The sake tasting locations were all amazing and informative. Hiroman even bought a bottle of sake to bring with us on the tour, and we would stop in between tastings to drink sake on a bench nearby. After lots of sake, Hiroman and Mami walked us to the train station and made sure that we knew where we were going next.

Great Tour in Kobe
My wife and I visited a Sake Brewery and the Ropeway and herb garden in Kobe. Both atractions were excellent. We were shown around by Mizu our guide who was brillant; very professional and informative and a great character. We highly recommend Mizu and the attractions, not to be missed.

We went to the Engyoji...
We went to the Engyoji Temple where they filmed the Last Samurai. We were basically the only visitors there, so it was very peaceful as I had imagined. Our guide was very knowledgeable. We then went back to Kobe and had the best Kobe beef at Mouriya Lin. Some of us proceeded to walk back to the ship through the shopping streets. and the others were taken back by car. It was a most enjoyable day!

You can do it all with the right guide
Ryan was an outstanding guide and made the entire day feel effortless. He connected with us right away, kept everything organized without rushing, and shared just the right amount of insight at each stop.
He also took us to a fantastic restaurant for lunch that we never would have found on our own. The Shinkansen from Kobe to Kyoto was a highlight in itself, and Ryan made sure we experienced it the right way.
We covered a lot in Kyoto without it ever feeling overwhelming, which really speaks to how well he managed the day. If you have the chance to tour with him, take it.

Leave it to the locals
We left our day in our guide, Ryan's capable hands. When he suggested a visit to a herb garden, we were somewhat sceptical, but WOW, it was fantastic and totally unexpected. A real hidden gem. After exploring the Nunobiki Herb Gardens we made our way through Kitano with their well preserved merchant homes. And no visit to Kobe would be complete without sampling their beef. Ryan took us to an area known only to locals, where we had lunch. The Ikuta Shrine was a touch of serenity before hitting Chinatown and the end of our walking tour.

Best Kobe City Tour
Mahoko is a fantastic guide. She speaks excellent English having spent many years in America. We were collected from the Port for an intial rour round the town. We then had a fabulous seafood meal at a traditional Japanese restauraunt where we sat at tables watching as the chef prepared and served our dishes.. Finally we took the cable car to the mountain top and she was very knowleable about the herb garden plants as we descended. We took taxis where necessary to get through the itinerary. We paid for the meal and the taxis. I can't recommend too highly this tour with Mihoko as the guide

Excellent tour with Satori
Our private tour in Kobe with Satori was a fantastic experience! She created a perfect mix of culture, scenery, and fun. We visited a beautiful shrine, enjoyed a unique and playful stop at an animal café, and took in stunning views at the herb garden via the ropeway. Satori was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire day feel personal and relaxed. Highly recommend her for anyone looking to explore Kobe in a memorable way!

Fantastic Tour
7 of us spent an amazing day with Ahmed in Kyoto. Prior to the trip communication was excellent and on the day our driver was right there when we got off the boat. Ahmed was so knowledgable about everywhere we visited, took great photos of our group and knew exactly where to take us to avoid crowds where possible. I cannot recommend this tour enough it was absolutely five star. Thank you Ahmed !

The best day out EVER!
Zack was super at communicating before our trip and he was very reliable, appearing exactly on time at the cruise port. Zack had a nice clean car with plenty of space.
Nothing was too much trouble for him.
He provided water and traditional treats for our journey. He helped us to navigate the sushi menu at a lovely traditional restaurant. He is a lovely guy, with a well thought out itinerary incorporating all of our preferences and some great suggestions of his own. His command of the English language is exceptional. Out group highly recommends him! Thank you Zack for a very memorable day.

Great Tour of Kyoto’s Highlights
This was a great tour in a great city that has so many unique sites and photo opportunities. Our tour guide met us at the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove early in the morning and luckily before the wave of tourists arrived shortly after. We then visited 3 UNESCO World Heritage Sites scattered around Kyoto (Kinkaku-ji Golden Pavilion, the Kiyomizu-dera temple, and the Fushimi Inari-taisha shrine. Our tour guide Keiko was terrific and was very understanding when we asked to cut short one or two site visits due to the extreme heat. We got to see so much in a limited 8-hour stop.

We had a great time with...
We had a great time with Sumile! We ended up with a private tour with her. She picked us up right at the cruise terminal and guided us via train, walking, taxi, and local bus/trolley throughout the city. Good walking shoes and plenty of water were a must. The Kobe beef lunch was the perfect ending after working up an appetite walking and seeing the sites. We had great conversations with Sumile and even had the opportunity to chat with a 29th generation Shinto priest who heard us discussing the religion. Quite the memorable adventure!

A jam-packed day!
This tour was wonderful. Ahmed arranged transport from Kobe to Kyoto, and we spent a lovely day exploring the bamboo forest, the Nomomiya-jinja shrine, Kinkakujicho, Nijo castle and the Fushimi Inari-taisha shrine, with time in between for a stroll through the food market. The tour touched on so many highlights, and Ahmed was able to share so much information.
