Kochi Tour Reviews

“Poor communication ”
Tour confirmation says 9am pick up. Driver says they were told 10:30am pick up. Bad communication now waiting for over an hour.

TR Taxi
We sincerely apologize for the confusion caused. The driver was arranged for 10:30 AM based on your message and to accommodate your request. However, there was a system generated default time on your confirmation voucher, and it was not updated correctly on our side, which led to the misunderstanding. We will strengthen our confirmation process to avoid similar issues in the future. We truly appreciate your patience and are sorry for the long wait.

“Great visit in Kochi”
Hiroshi was an absolute gem and we were fortunate to have him as our guide in Kochi. He is both charming and full of knowledge and history about his hometown. He not only showed us the major highlights but also shared a few of the “off the beaten path” places I’m sure few have gone to as tourists. We made a friend in Japan who we would be fortunate to meet again. Jeff & Marcia

Jeff & Marcia, thank you so much for this wonderful review! It truly made my day. You were such great guests to spend the day with, and I loved that you were open to trying everything, from the local food to the unexpected detours. That is what makes a tour memorable for me too. I hope our paths cross again someday. You are always welcome in Kochi! Hiroshi

“The BEST Tour Guide”
We could not have had a better experience with Hiroshi. What a great way to see Kochi. Not only was he knowledgeable, but his English was perfect and so easy to understand. He was pleasant and exceeded expectations by taking photos along the tour and sent them to us after our time with him (and he's a great photographer on top of all else!). We had some fussy eaters in our small group of 3, yet he found a way to accommodate all of our needs at a local, favorite place of his--and it was perfect. I HIGHLY recommend him if you are going to be visiting Kochi.

Hiroshi M.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! I am really glad you enjoyed the day in Kochi. I appreciate your kind words about my English, though I still have a lot to learn! I just try my best to make sure every guest feels comfortable. As for the photos, I am not a professional photographer at all, but I do love taking pictures. I want every guest to go home with good memories of Kochi, so I always try to capture the moments throughout the day. I am happy the photos were a nice addition to your experience. It was also my pleasure to find something everyone could enjoy at Hirome Market. That is one of the best things about that place, there is always something for everyone! Honestly, your group was so much fun to be with. I was laughing all day! Thank you for making it such a great day for me as well. I hope to welcome you back to Kochi someday. Safe travels to you and your group! Hiroshi
