Customizable Private Tours with Local Tour Guides

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 more deeply than just visiting there by yourself or a member of 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!!

Mexico

I am a young historian who has been working as a tour guide for 4 years. During this time I have met people from all over the world, which has taught me a lot about interacting with all kinds of people as well as showing my city in an authentic and interesting way. 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.

“Three great guides in South Korea! ”

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in South Korea. Sebastian in North Seoul, Pada in Gyeongju and Taylor in Gangnam, gave us great insights into life in South Korea -which is the reason we use guides. We didn’t have Dylan as a guide, but he clearly has a great network of guides across South Korea which he organised for us. Communication was easy and I had swift responses. Each one exceeded our expectations. Great English, easy to talk to and all knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. Highly recommend using Dylan.

Dylan K.

Dear Victoria, Thank you for your wonderful review! I'm delighted to hear you had such great experiences across South Korea. While I didn't have the pleasure of guiding you personally, I take great pride in our network of passionate guides who love sharing authentic insights about Korean life and culture. Your kind words about our communication and service mean so much to us. We truly believe that connecting travelers with knowledgeable local guides creates those memorable moments you can't find in guidebooks. Thank you for choosing our service for your South Korean adventure! We hope to welcome you back someday - perhaps I'll have the opportunity to show you around next time! Warmest regards, Dylan
