I’m an instructor of sushi making for foreign travelers and got the national license as a tour guide last year. Therefore I can provide a guiding for Tsukiji/Omiya fish market and a private lesson for the traditional sushi making for both. If you are interested in bonsai too, travering omiya is a perfect idea since I can provide for all these. I hope I have a chance to help you for unforgetable Japan travel experience.

Hello! My name is Akiko from Gifu prefecture. I am a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I like going out with my family, talking with my friends over coffee at a cozy cafe, reading books, baking bread and cake when I have time. I have lived in Gifu for more than forty years. Gifu prefecture is rich in nature so you can enjoy the rural atmosphere. Gifu city has a beautiful river 'Nagara river' and Mt.Kinka which has Gifu castle on the top. You can go up the mountain on foot or use a ropeway. The view from Gifu castle is so fantastic. At the foot of the moutain, there are many places to visit such as parks, a temple having a big image of Buddha, and a street preserving the historic atmosphere. Many cafes have unique service called 'morning service' in Gifu along with Aichi In the morning (until about ten thirty or eleven) when you order a cup of tea or coffee, they serve toast and salad ! Near Gifu park , you can find a nice Japanese style cafe where you enjoy good coffee seeing a Japanese style garden. Seki city is a small city but so famous for its cutlery. At Japanese sword museum in Seki, you can see authentic Japanese swords! Mino city next to Seki city is well known for its hand made Japanese paper 'Hon minoshi' designated as intangible cultural asset by UNESCO . Now I remember nice and kind guests I have met in Gifu. It is not easy to guide you because of COVID-19 for the time being. I hope this difficult situation is over soon. I’m waiting for the day when I can show you beautiful Gifu around. Please take care and stay safe. Thank you.

Great to meet you, I'm Binh, and my English name is Ben. My brother Peter and I are founders of our local guide team.

I immediately became fascinated by the city's unique blend of culture, history, and delicious cuisine. My education focused on tourism, and I have extensive experience working as a local English-speaking tour guide for various companies. But, I finally decided it was time to bring my custom-tailored experiences to my guests, so I'm starting this local experience. I have been hosting such tours for four years to share my local experiences in Ho Chi Minh City. I would happily guide you through this fantastic city and show you everything Saigon offers!

Lucy F.

Japan

My name is Lucy and I am a huge fan of my adoption city Kanazawa. I was born in the south of France and I spent my life between France and Germany working in Fashion and costume Design. Traveling and discovering new places, cultures, and traditions has always been my passion so I didn't have to think much before moving to Kanazawa in 2019, following my husband's new work-opportunity. Since then, our family got bigger and 2 boys were born here. I used the quiet time of the pandemic to walk every corner of the city and study it's history and traditions. as soon as the borders re-opened to travellers, I started to guide foreigners from many different countries. Guiding is for me a pleasure to meet people from all over the world, to share my knowledge about the city, it's rich history, the local culture and life in Japan. Whenever I have free time, I love to discover new hidden places in the surroundings or to forget time doing pottery, crafts or hiking. I have experience guiding in Kanazawa, Shirakawa-go, Takayama and other little towns around here.

Jeroen A.

Mexico

My name is Jeronimo (Jeroen). I'm Mexican and European. I studied economics with a specialization in International Management at Maastricht University, The Netherlands. I have always been fascinated by Latin America. After my studies I worked as a consultant, entrepreneur and commercial director in Belgium, Brazil, The Netherlands, Guatemala, and Argentina. I have been active in humanitarian aid in Third World countries worldwide. I have travelled extensively to Africa, Eastern Europe and Latin America. I have worked as a tour conductor in France, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize and Indonesia. Mexico is where I decided to stay twenty years ago. I started off with groups of 20 people with trips of 28 days from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize and back to Mexico. After this I switched to trips of 21 days visiting the same countries. After having visited each archaeological site over 60 times, each time with another local guide, I decided to study Mexican History and Archaeology, inspired by some of the local guides who told the tourists that the Mayas landed from Mars in spaceships. I am specialized in Maya culture. Working with people and showing them different cultures is what fascinates me. In 2004, I started off with the big tour companies like TUI and Thomas Cook, who commercialized the trips from 28 days and reduced it to 12 days. I did that for 10 years, after which I went on as a private tour guide/driver for small groups. I offer private day tours and multi day tours to all archaeological sites and nature parks transportation included in English, French, German, Dutch, and Spanish.

Mario M.

India

I am Mario a very passionate and dedicated tour Guide for my city Goa. The Goa that I grew up in was very different from what it is today. It had a charm that was unique and a culture that was still strongly influenced by its gripping past. This led me to become very interested in learning all about my delightful homeland at a very young age. Digging through the rich cultural heritage of Goa soon turned into a desire to share its beauty with others. Turning my passion into a profession, I worked my way to becoming a licensed tour guide who is recognized by the Goa State Tourism Department, and has over 20 years of experience leading tours across Goa. A tour with me will always be accompanied with interesting facts and stories about Goa’s enthralling history and fascinating culture. The enthusiasm and passion that I have for Goa is contagious and will leave you captivated as I guide you through my quaint and unforgettable homeland. My tours are suitable for all travelers and families, right from the oldest to the youngest. They can be personalized to accommodate your needs, so do not hesitate to share your thoughts and preferences. Whether you are a first-time visitor or you are a seasoned traveller, I will do my best to make your visit unique! My five-star ratings are a testimony to my professional excellence, so you can expect a memorable experience as we explore this beautiful coastal state and all it has to offer.

Dylan K.

South Korea

I'm Dylan. It's my pleasure to share a bit about my background with you. I had the privilege of majoring in English Literature at a renowned university in Korea. Following that, I served for two years in the U.S. military base stationed here in Korea. This tenure was indeed an enriching phase of my life where I got the opportunity to deeply understand various cultures and perspectives during my interactions and trainings with my American colleagues. This phase not only allowed me to learn but also nurtured me into a person who holds great respect and understanding towards diverse cultures. In 2018, I was honored to be the driver for the family of Intel's CEO during the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. That wonderful opportunity significantly influenced my decision to become a tour guide. After that enriching experience, I acquired a nationally recognized certification as a tourist interpreter guide. Since then, it's been my pleasure to have conducted over 800 private tours, showcasing the breathtaking beauty of Busan to visitors. I constantly strive to offer the very best service to my clients, rooted in my steadfast philosophy to "facilitate a deep appreciation for the beauty of Busan, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime." My commitment to this mission remains as strong as ever. I kindly invite you to join me in exploring the hidden beauties of Busan, and to craft special memories together. Would that interest you?
