Japan

Yuki K.

I was born and grew up in Yokohama. I used to work in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I became the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English in 2013. At first, I had attended a volunteer group which provided a tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens until 2015. I guided more than fifty times in the garden as a volunteer and studied about Japanese history and culture. Based on this experience, I became a tour guide of this online site in 2015. Since then, I have guided more than 500 tours in Tokyo as well as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Nikko, etc., while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them deeper than just visiting there by yourself or a member of big group tours. I like foods and I know many restaurants which provide typical Japanese lunch with reasonable price without waiting too long. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help you to enjoy your stay in Japan. So please be my guest!!

I like to take people to places that show another side of Mexico City, a closer perspective of how its inhabitants live day to day. I also enjoy taking photographs on my tours.

Austria

Martin H.

Hello! I’m Martin, a local guide from Eastern Austria / Vienna, officially licensed, highly experienced, and still genuinely excited about showing people around Central Europe. I speak English and German, and I can confidently order food in a few other languages — which, as you’ll soon discover, is a very important skill given my specialization in food and wine tours. From elegant Viennese classics to regional surprises, I firmly believe history tastes better when paired with the right dish and a good glass of wine. Over the years, my guests and I have explored Central Europe using just about every mode of transport imaginable. We’ve traveled by modern cars, vintage vehicles, vans, buses, electric trains, diesel trains, steam trains, and even trains with cogwheels. On water, we’ve used large river cruise ships, speed boats, kayaks, and pedal boats — sometimes gracefully, sometimes enthusiastically. On land, we’ve gone even further: horses, donkeys, alpacas… and yes, once even a tank. (No worries — it was for sightseeing, not invading.) My tours are informative but relaxed, well-organized but never stiff, and always adapted to what you enjoy most. Think of me less as a guide and more as a local friend who knows where to go, what to eat, what to drink, and how to get there — preferably in an interesting way. If you’re curious about Central Europe, love good food and wine, and enjoy travel stories that come with a sense of humor, I’d be happy to guide you. Welcome aboard — whatever we’re riding this time.

Portugal

Ida H.

I’m a Danish guide based in Lisbon, where I’ve been living since the summer of 2024.

With interests ranging from sport and culture to relaxed social moments and great experiences, my tours are all about enjoying Portugal in an authentic and easy-going way.

What sets my tours apart? I create fully customized experiences based on your interests, whether it's a family adventure spotting elephants in Yala National Park, a romantic sunset train ride through the highlands, or a deep dive into Buddhist heritage at Kandy's Temple of the Tooth. Fluent in English, I handle all logistics with a comfortable AC vehicle, ensuring safe, flexible, and memorable journeys. My guests rave about my insider tips, like the best spot for fresh king coconut or off-the-beaten-path viewpoints!

“Fantastic Private Tour & Experience!”

We initially contacted Naoto about creating a custom tour, and he exceeded our expectations right from the start! He was incredibly helpful in planning a personalized full day itinerary that fit everything we wanted to experience. Throughout the day, Naoto shared stories about Japan that helped us understand both daily life and the historical significance of the places we visited, while also sharing personal stories from his life and his travels around the world, which helped us feel more connected and have a deeper appreciation! At our first stop, the Shogawa Gorge River Cruise, Naoto shared both the history and pop culture surrounding the cruise, including stories about the secluded onsen it stops at. Afterwards, we continued through the scenic valley, visiting other local attractions as well as stopping for lunch to taste the local cuisine. Our next stop was the Shirakawa-go village, which was incredibly beautiful and rich with history. Naoto brought us inside one of the traditional thatched-roof homes and even shared his own experience living in one for a time, teaching us about industries that helped these villages prosper and the care required to preserve these historic homes. We truly appreciate Naoto for the care he took in curating our tour and for all the insights he taught us about each of the places we visited! We highly recommend Naoto for anyone traveling the Toyama area!

Naoto K.

It was a true pleasure to host you! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. I am thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our tour. Guiding guests like you is what makes my job so rewarding. I wish you all the best on your future adventures, and I look forward to the possibility of seeing you in Japan again in the future!

“Standout Experience for us at Tokyo”

My fiancée and I travelled to Japan to celebrate my birthday for two weeks. Our time with Melody was a highlight for us both. Our original guide had gotten ill but Melody was able to jump in with a 24-hour notice to save us for our custom-made food tour. He took us to local spots and restaurants that were truly inaccessible on our own. Along the way and even after the tour, Melody provided so many helpful suggestion and links catered towards our questions. He had such a passion for Tokyo culture and was a down-to-earth guide who can roll with our plans. It was difficult to find places open on 12/31 but Melody made it easy as his translation and communication skills are top-notch. The only mistake we made was not booking Melody sooner. Melody is truly an outstanding guide who goes above and beyond for his visitors and will help you find whatever it is you're looking for in the big city. We cannot recommend Melody enough!
