About Tour Guide Gulay G.
Konnichiwa!
I am Gulay, I have been working as a professional guide since 2008, and have received my training at the Department of Tourism Guidance for 4 years. I moved to Spain for one year (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) and worked as a volunteer and mentor in EVS organizations (European Voluntary Service) But then my interest in Japanese culture led me to my current carrier in Kyoto for 3 years. Guiding is my passion, I believe guiding for guests that you never met before from totally different countries is great chance to know people better to improve your skills. As your guide, I will be pleased to share my experience of guiding with you and will do my best to make your holiday a memorable one.
I am here to explain the local culture and traditions and give guests other local insights.
Reviews
“Vintage European Drsigners. Unique Japanese Designers. This tour has it all!”
We had very little time in Tokyo and were overwhelmed by where to go. We had already taken tours of the historical parts of the city and its numerous shrines. We wanted to see modern day, high fashion Tokyo and Gulay gave us exactly that. We hit high end vintage designer stores, cool edgy Japanese designer stores, got to enjoy people watching and the fun styles on the street and the modern cool unique architecture of these fashionable neighborhoods. A great overview to counter balance our days learning about samurai, wars, etc. Gulay was lovely, helpful and flexible based on our requests. Thank you, Gulay!
“Amazing Day with Gulay !”
I requested a private tour of West Tokyo and Gulay did not disappoint. She picked me up from my hotel and took me to all my requested places and more. Do not hesitate to book with Gulay. She is very kind and personable. Our day was even better than I anticipated.
“Fun day shopping!”
Our time shopping with Gulay was amazing! She was easily able to hone in on exactly what I was looking for. We got to experience a few new areas of Tokyo, including Nakhon broadway, which we would not have visited without her guidance. Her English is so good, she is young and trendy and just very fun to be around. I could have easily done a whole day tour with her! She even pointed out some amazing food spots; thanks to her we had some of the best sushi after our day shopping. Thank you for the fun experience, Gulay!
