Very expensive, but good

Maureen_F, Oct 2025

This was our most expensive shore trip by far. The guide was fantastic. Highly rated!! Nevertheless, we ended up paying over $1300 for 3 of us, plus entrance fees, plus taxi fares between attractions, plus $120 each to go on the bullet train, instead of the local train. Nevertheless, the guide made our day wonderful. He had excellent English (in fact, Australian English).

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We’re so glad to hear your experience was made wonderful by your guide’s knowledge and excellent communication! It’s great that he helped make the day so memorable despite the added expenses. Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and kind words!

It’s wonderful to hear you had such an enjoyable experience, with so many sights, history, local food, and even sake tasting. Your host's knowledge and friendliness clearly made the day memorable. Thanks for sharing this lovely feedback!

A great time trimmed with octopus.

Michelle met us as agreed and spent the day putting up with us, showing us a bit of Kobe and then navigating the complexities of the train system for us. She cleared the way and put up with my slow pace. Everything worked out well and I would highly recommend her and this tour to anyone who wants to see Osaka.
