Peri was awesome. Strolled through several areas and ate food in places i would never have found otherwise. He adjusted plans if requested and added sites of something particular was requested. Importantly I can now tell the difference between real amd fake Kobe Beef!! And Kobe beef sushi is my new thing!! Thank you for a great experience Peri!!! FABULOUS FOOD WITH A FANTASTOC GUIDE
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. Fantastic and informative Kobe food tour
Hemos hecho 2 tours con Peri, uno de día, ver cosas típicas, bonitos, sin muchos turistas, ha sido muy bien exactamente lo que queríamos,y después comer en Cobe , auténtica Cobe carne absolutamente fantástico. Y un tour de streetfood donde otra vez lo ha acertado por completo, muchas gracias Peri esperamos de verte un día por España, un abrazoUn tour a medida
We had an amazing tour w Pere. What a wonderful interesting person. We learned a lot about the history of the area, saw great sights and of course had delicious local food!! We enjoyed going to local places that we would never find on our own and experiencing new dishes. What a fun afternoon. We wish Pere continued success; he is quite an inspiration speaking many languages fluently with a great background in education. Thanks Pere!Fantastic Day in Kobe
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 :) Great afternoon with Pere!
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! We had a great time!
Man merkt schnell, das das er sich nicht nur super auskennt sondern auch sein Wissen gerne teilt ein super Tourgide und ein Highlight unsere Reise.
Danke Dafür.Food tour Kobe
Wonderful walking food tour of Kobe. Pere was very professional, knowledgeable, and fun! Highly recommend!Kobe food tour with Pere
Simone truly knows his way around Japan! His Japanese skills are outstanding, and thanks to him, we navigated the country effortlessly. His support was truly invaluable, and if we ever return to Japan, I absolutely want him to guide us again!Simone's support was crucial for our trip in Japan!
I want to sincerely thank Simone from the bottom of my heart for being the perfect companion to my husband. He patiently answered every single one of my husband’s endless questions with detail, passion, and enthusiasm. I honestly didn’t think there was anyone out there who could keep up with his insatiable curiosity so well! I know my husband will always be grateful for that.
We will surely return to Japan, and when we do, we would love for Simone to guide us again and show us all the things we didn’t get around to seeing this time.What a knowledgeable and passionate guide!
My wife and I highly recommend a tour with Pere. He gave us a wonderful insight into Kobe and Japanese culture. We strolled around Kobe trying a few street food snacks before enjoying a delicious Kobe beef teppanyaki meal and a sake museum tour/tasting.Great tour and insight of Kobe
Pere tailored a tour for us that included a cooking class! He went through so much extra effort to find a cooking class for us and the class was over the top! We learned to make a multi layered Japanese Breakfast in the setting of an old sake brewery, converted into a sake tasting and pairing center! The owners’ hosted us and the wife chef was patient and very expert in her teaching skills! Following the class and delicious consumption, Pere continued the tour with his expert knowledge of the area. He made sure we were safely back to our accommodations as well! I highly recommend Pere and the nadagogo sakedokoro.Top Notch Food and Sake Tour
Simone was professional, friendly, and exceptionally kind. He truly went the extra mile to ensure all our needs were met and that everything ran smoothly. His deep knowledge of Japan, combined with his passion for sharing it, made our experience even more special. We learned so much from him, and I’m certain that without his guidance, we wouldn’t have been able to appreciate this trip in the same way.
Should we return to Japan, we will definitely reach out to Simone again, and we won’t hesitate to recommend him to all our friends.A kind, friendly and professional guide!
Although it took 2 hours longer than it should have for us to clear immigration from the ship Peri was there and stayed in contact on WhatsApp with us the whole time which was reassuring to know he hadn’t assumed we were just a “No Show”. Obviously the 2 hour delay getting off the ship meant that we then had to shorten our time together but he laid out our options and timings and let us choose our priorities for the time we had left. We then went on to have a great time going up mount Maya followed by a Japanese locals restaurant in Kobe. It was in a place where we probably wouldn’t have gone as tourists on our own, but we had a great time trying local specialities of the area and some Sake before returning to our cruise ship. It seems that we saw more and had a much better time than those on the Ship’s organised tours. Walking with Peri in Kobe
Thank you Peri for a fabulous tour of Himeji Castle and Kobe. Your knowledge and information was fascinating. The Kobe dinner at the end of the day was a perfect end - thank you for booking it on our behalf. Wonderful guide
Pasamos un día genial en Kobe! No solo fuimos a visitar los lugares más icónicos de la ciudad, Peri nos acompañó a zonas más escondidas en la ciudad, preciosas y sin gente. Mi recomendación es que le digáis en lo que estáis interesados y él se encargará de todo. Recomiendo también que no perdáis la oportunidad de comer carne de Kobe! Tour en Kobe
We spent a great day with Pere seeing the sites of Kobe. He met us at the ship and proceeded to take us to many great sites in the city including a lunch featuring Kobe beef and Shabu Shabu. The communication and planing leading up to the day was awesome and really removed the stress of non familiar surroundings. Pere was very responsive and provided a day including all the sites we discussed. My recommendation is to give him an overview of what you want to see and let him set the agenda. The time spent in Kobe was great and we really enjoyed the city, the sites and Pere. He was a wealth of information that we really appreciated. If you want a great day in Kobe I recommend working with Pere for an outstanding experience.Great day in Kobe
