"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."
"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!"

"Thank you for a wonderful tour of Himeji and Kobe. The informations about the castle and the city was amazing. The local lunch in a authentic restaurant and the visit in an izakaya was perfect. Thank you for the reservation in the Kobe-Beef-Restaurant. We can absolutely recommend booking."

Fantastic and informative Kobe food tour
"We had a wonderful time with Pere for the Kobe food tour.
I only wish we had more time in Kobe to book his other tours.
Will definitely use WithLocals again. "
"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. "
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Kobe, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Kobe spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Kobe.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Kobe, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Kobe awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Kobe, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Kobe. Get ready to explore like a local!
