Hi there! I'm Darrigues, your friendly host in the vibrant city of Kobe. I'm all about diving deep into the rich history and culture that make this place unique, beautifully blending the traditional with the foreign. Oh, and the Kobe beef will have you coming back for more! I love strolling through Kobe Harborland, savoring every bite of our famous beef, and discovering all the nooks and crannies of Shioya, with its quaint restaurants and charming retro train stations. Hyogo ken is my playground, filled with traditional spots and breathtaking shrines that I can't wait to share with you! As a local foodie, I know all the hidden gems where you can taste authentic dishes that are only known to the locals. Let's explore the beautiful spots together in Kobe and make your trip unforgettable.

Silva spoke excellent English and displayed good knowledge of Kobe. We are an elderly couple and appreciate the care and sensitivity that Silvan showed towards us whilst we were walking on our tour around Kobe.
