"We took shore excursions both in Kobe and Kyoto guided by Pere. He took us to the best spots in both cities and enjoyed it very much. Won’t hesitate to recommend Pere as your tour guide.

An amazing tour! Highlight of the trip!
"We loved the tour we were given by Pere! His tour of Himeji was awesome! He knew all the answers ro our questions and more! He was a local of Kobe for quite a while also! The tour went from a historical fan’s dream to a foodie’s heaven! He showed us all the secret places to eat in Kobe and even told us the secret to distinguishing between real Kobe beef and fake (don’t be fooled 😉)! He was super flexible and a great communicator when it came to planning to join him on the trip! We came from Osaka by train so he even helped us plan how to get there on land! We would recommend his tour to anyone! 1000/1000"

The BEST!
"We had such an amazing time on this food tour with Simone. Our stomachs AND our hearts were full! Simone is a knowledgable guide, excellent communicator, history buff, foodie and he managed to connect with each of us in our group, spanning ages 65 to 17--no easy feat. Our teen son said he had no idea that a tour or a tour guide could be like this--this GOOD! It was worth every penny and more! If he's open, book it now. You will not regret it. Truly, Simone is that \"One in a million.\" --from US family of 4 (foodies)"

Pere is awesome!
"Pere was super kind, knowledgeable and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. He is very personable and engaging. If we ever return to the area we will be asking for Pere again. "
"Pere is a very friendly and welcoming guy who obviously enjoys showing people around his adopted country. We covered a lot of ground on our 8 hour tour, and learned a great deal about Himeji Castle and Kobe itself. I would definitely recommend Pere to guide you."
"Rena is a lovely soft spoken and enjoyable hostess. Unfortunately, Kobe itself has little to see that is really interesting. We had a lovely walk with a friendly local. "
"We had a wonderful afternoon with Pere doing the Street Food Tour. He has such a great interest in all things food and took us to sample so many great foods. Pere is very discerning with his recommendations so you will eat very well and enjoy the whole experience! We wouldn't have been able to see and eat so much good food without him :) "
"Short answer: Yes!
We’ve done a couple of „10 Tastings“ food tours in Japan and this is definitely different and special. Of course the tour is expensive but then so is high quality Kobe Beef. It’s not something you can do cheaply or if you do find a place selling inexpensive “Kobe beef” you’re probably being ripped off.
We had a great afternoon with Peri who gave us great insights into the world of Sake and how it’s made, the background of what makes Kobe beef special and showed us around some fun parts of Kobe. Obviously the highlights were tasting the Sake and Kobe beef.
It was also interesting getting to know a perspective on the expat experience from someone who’s moved to Japan and been here a couple of years.
Would highly recommend the tour if you want to get to know real Kobe beef!"
"Our tour and walk with Bianca was simply wonderful. Our only regret is that we should not have eaten breakfast before coming on the walk. There are so many diverse food and snack options available you will have no issues finding something that everyone will enjoy. I encourage anyone who wants to learn more about the local food scene to take a tour with Bianca! "
