Tour Important Information
I mean personalized, at the title of this tour, as I like to meet and communicate with people of any background and nationality, either solo travellers, couples, families, groups of friends, young, aged, etc. Also to adapt myself to different kinds of motivations and points of view.
With personal I pointed out the way I see this.
I like to feel as the very opposite of a machine of the service sector.
I value empathy and I hope, and usually happens, to end the tour with the feeling of a certain kind of friendship.

About Tour Guide Alex O.
Hi there! I’m Alex Before ending up in Japan, many years back, I had a nomad life across several Asian countries for many years as well. I spent most of that time in India, where among other activities I had my first experiences as a tour guide. There I also met my wife, and when the relationship got more serious we decided to settle down and have a more stable life, we chose Japan where she is from. Since then I had many personal experiences in this country in different fields such as human relations, jobs in different sectors, trips, bizarre situations, etc, experiences that I always like to share, together with some knowledge about aspects of the culture that I studied for years, just for the sake of getting knowledge without thinking that I would do this activity later on. By the way, I appreciate a lot the human factor, and besides having a responsibility I enjoy a lot just meeting and being with new people. In other words; I love this job, I love the culture I show, and I love human communication in itself. Let’s meet and spend time together so I can show you the best of this city, the cultural capital of Japan.

Full day Nara/Kyoto private guided tour!
We can meet at your hotel, either from Kyoto, Nara or Osaka? The plan would be to start from Nara. We will walk across the Nara park until the monumental Todai ji temple then move up nearby to the Nigatsu-do temple for an amazing view of the city. Then we can have some snack, or lunch at the most famous shopping arcade of the city. See some shops there if you want and then get the train(or train back) to Kyoto until the Fushimi Inari Taisha, the main Shinto shrine of Japan
Full day Osaka private guided tour!
The plan is to meet at your hotel(either in Osaka or Kyoto), then start the tour at the Osaka castle park, moving then either to Tsuruhashi(the Korean town which is an icon of the city) or Umeda Skybuilding(a very peculiar tower with and astonishing view). Then to the Shinsekai area to see, among other things, a retro type of urban Japan. At the end conclude at the Dotombori area where the Glico man will salute you? I remind you that the route can be flexible in accordance to your interests?
