Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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"
"Another great tour. We booked Naoki back-to-back days for Osaka and Kyoto and glad we did. Second day felt like meeting up with a friend we had met and he showed us all around Kyoto. Between the Palace and old Kyoto to the Buddhist temples had a lovely time. Also took us to his mom’s favorite sushi bar with the automated delivery which was delicious and cool. Highly recommend."
"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."

"Family of four (with 2 late teens sons). We booked an Osaka to Kyoto day trip, and Osaka Highlights and Hidden Gem the next day with Naoki. Our sons commented that Naoki felt like a cousin from overseas taking us around. Apart from Naomi’s local knowledge and experience, his genuine warmth and kindness made this a memorable experience! "
"DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK A TOUR WITH PERI!! WE BOOKED AN ALL DAY PRIVATE TOUR AND HE WAS DELIGHTFUL AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. HIS RECOMMENDATIONS WERE RIGHT ON AND HE WAS VERY PROMPT AND ESCORTED US EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!! BOOK WITH PERI!! "
"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."
"Naoki-san is a great guide. He met us at our hotel in Osaka and took us to Kyoto via public transportation/trains. This was my third trip to Japan and my son's first. We both learned a lot from Naoki-san. He answered all our questions (however bizarre) very calmly and patiently. He navigated the streets and alleys of Kyoto expertly as we visited numerous shrines, temples and gardens. He even found vegetarian/vegan restaurants to satisfy my son. It was truly a fantastic tour.
