"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! "
"Wonderful walking food tour of Kobe. Pere was very professional, knowledgeable, and fun! Highly recommend!"

FreddyAbout local Pere IgnasiKobe, November 7, 2024
"We had a great time with Pere, discovering many little corners of Kobe that we would not have found ourselves. We did this tour with our one year old and also appreciate how kind and patient he was with our child, making it an even better experience for us all together. Thank you so much, Pere!!"
"Truly believe any tour you take with Pere will be great, but our tour through Kobe was specifically incredible. Pere will personalize and change things around to fit your personal interests, and make sure everyone on the tour has a great time. Thank you, Pere! "
