Excellent custom 1:1 half-day walking tour of Kobe with a great guide who read my input and already had an ideal tour in mind from what I said I was interested in when filling out the questionnaire, but also had options along the way to modify if desired. It was truly unscripted and I got to see everything I was hoping to, along with a couple cool things I would have never found on my own. Great conversation and lots of clear explanations with historical context. Had a great time, highly recommend.
