Experience the best of Kobe with Withlocals

"Pere is a great person and great tour guide. He taught us so much, gave us helpful pointers and also went out of his way to ensure we had an amazing lunch. I would love to book another tour with him next time and would recommend him to my friends. Thanks Pere for a great day!"

"Pere (or Peri) is your guide if you are looking to do a food tour in Kobe. We ate so much food. So much good food that you will walk away from the tour wondering how you ate it all and how you are going to work it all off. Kevin and I are still talking about the pork dumplings from Chinatown that you have to wait about 15 minutes in line for to order. (IT WAS WORTH IT!!!!!) As you are walking to the locations, Peri does a great job talking about eh city, the food and culture so that it all ties together. He knows the holes small places to go so that you get an authentic experience and not just what is featured on Instagram or TikToK. He did an awesome job and we were lucky to book him!"

"It was our first time in Japan, and we decided to do a day trip to Kobe from Osaka. Simone was such a great host! He was so warm, friendly, generous, and genuine. We loved chatting with him about his experience living in Japan, and appreciate the way he structured our food tour - he took us to some great local spots. We highly recommend booking with him."

"Pierre took us to several sites in Kobe. We really appreciated his information and expertise about the city. We had asked him at the conclusion to get us to a restaurant that would serve A5 Kobe beef. he picked out a great restaurant! We have really a lot of fun!"

"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. "

"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"

"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 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, was such an excellent guide! He made the tour informative and fun! I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to spend the day in Kobe!!"

"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."
