About Tour Guide Ondrej R.

Dear Travellers! My name is Ondrej and I have been living in Kyoto for six years. I’m currently conducting tours in English and Czech languages.


My hometown is Prague, Czech Republic, but I have left it behind years ago to live in Japan forever.


In my young years, I did a wide portfolio of various sports including soccer, futsal, skateboarding, cycling, boxing and athletics (both competition/ hobby level), so I can say that I am a sportsman. However, I reached my biggest successes at chessboard - playing the highest youth chess league of my country and finally attaining a chess coach licence.


At the academic level, I studied Human Sciences combined with Natural Sciences at University.


My primary goal is to satisfy your needs in a new city as for what you’d like to see. Based on a given venue, I focus on incorporating its meaning into a complete/ bigger picture of the whole culture and historical system.


If you’re not sure, I’m always happy to build a convenient tour plan involving appropriate amount of walking and transfers.


I have experience working with and guiding people from all over the world. Kyoto is a precious Japanese artifact and it is filled with unique places and cultural values and heritages.


Osaka offers a wide array of cultural meanings and cuisine delicacies, as well as hidden corners and pleasurable views.


I also love to take my clients to cities of Nara and Uji as they are so important for understanding the core of Japanese soul.


Please contact me to book, customize or just inquire regarding tours.


Once you are ready, we can discuss which of yours or mines favorite places we visit. Until then, have a good day and travel safe wherever you go.
