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

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

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!

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
