Akira S.

Hello. I'm Akira.S. I've just finished working as a mentor for new young teachers of public junior high schools after long time career as a teacher. I’m so interested in guiding popular sightseeing spots and also hidden areas in and around Tokyo to you. I love this job because I have a lot of chances to meet nice people from various countries. I'm really looking forward to meeting persons interested in Japanese culture and history like YOU. I really hope you touch Japanese cultures, including Japanese cuisines. I’m coming up with a tour plan based on your interest.

Japan

Yuriko S.

I am Yuriko from Gifu Prefecture. I was an assistant English teacher at junior high school. I started to work as a National Certificate tour guide in 2019. I'm very interested in kimono, tea ceremony and Japanese castles. I sometimes guide in kimono. There are so many nice places to visit in Gifu and Nagoya! I also guide around Takayama, Shirakawago, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka and Kanazawa if you pay my transportation fee from my hometown. Let's enjoy Japan with me!

Thailand

Zarut S.

Hi, I'm Zarut—a licensed Bangkok tour guide, lifelong people-person, and firm believer that the best travel experiences feel less like a guided tour and more like spending the day with a knowledgeable local friend. For over nine years, I've been creating personalized experiences for solo travelers, couples, families, and small groups who want to discover the real Bangkok beyond the typical tourist trail. Whether we're wandering through vibrant local markets, cruising along hidden canals, tasting unforgettable street food, or uncovering the stories behind centuries-old temples, my goal is always the same: to help you experience the city in a way that feels authentic, relaxed, and memorable. I believe the moments people remember most aren't just the famous landmarks—they're the conversations over a cup of Thai coffee, the unexpected hidden alley that leads to a beautiful community, the laughter we share during the day, and those little local discoveries you would never find in a guidebook. Every traveler is different, which is why no two of my tours are exactly alike. I enjoy adapting each experience to your interests, pace, and curiosity, whether you're a passionate foodie, history enthusiast, photographer, or simply someone who wants to experience Bangkok like a local. By the end of the day, my hope is that you won't just leave with great photos—you'll leave with a deeper understanding of Thai culture, plenty of wonderful memories, and perhaps even feel like you've made a new friend in Bangkok. Looking forward to exploring the city soon, Zarut

Yosshi S.

Thank you for visiting my page. I am passionate about guiding international travelers through Osaka, Nara, and Kyoto—cities that served as Japan’s capitals in succession from the 7th to the 20th centuries. I grew up in Osaka and studied urban and transportation planning in Kyoto. After obtaining a Master of Engineering degree, I worked as a government official for 20 years, striving to balance urban development with the preservation of historical assets under the City Planning Act. Since the 7th century, powerful local clans established a national framework by building new capitals—first in Naniwa (Osaka), followed by Heijo (Nara) and Heian (Kyoto)—and implementing legal codes and administrative systems led by the emperor. These capitals housed the Imperial Palace and government districts. Court nobles built their residences and clans’ temples or shrines adjacent to the imperial palace. After the emperor and court nobles relocated from Kyoto to Tokyo about 150 years ago, the Buddhist monks, Shinto priests, and residents of these three cities have continued to work together to maintain historic structures and preserve the traditional religious rituals associated with them. After retiring from public service, I began working as a freelance guide, sharing these historical assets with travelers from abroad. Since these three cities are all within about one hour of each other by train, I can propose tours customized to your schedule and physical stamina. I look forward to hearing from you.

Japan

Hideo Y.

Hello, I'm HIDEo YOSHIda. Please call me HIDEYOSHI, the same name as the famous shogun who built the Osaka Castle in 1585. I was born in Kobe and worked in Osaka for nearly 40 years. I would like to introduce the Kansai region to you ,including Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Wakayama. Kobe is one of the two largest ports in Japan, along with Yokohama. After the opening of the Port of Kobe in 1868, foreigners built their residences on the hillside of the Kitano-cho area, overlooking the ocean. Many of the foreign residences are now open to the public as museums, including the Weathercock House, with it's symbol weathercock on the triangle-shaped roof. In Meriken Park, the red Port Tower (the city's landmark), creates a beautiful contrast against the white Kobe Marine Museum. The museum's design was inspired by the waves and sailing ships. When you have a chance to visit Osaka, please join my tour. I'm sure you'll enjoy the interesting and historical, scenic spots. For example, Shin-Sekai is a downtown area with a strange mix of nostalgic atmosphere and contemporary energy. You can try local foods (kushikatsu, sushi, tempura) at a reasonable price. Billiken (a famous statue of the spirit of luck) will be waiting for you!!. Dotombori is a popular street with a lot of flashy signboards. Osaka is widely known as a "Kuidaore-no-machi", or literally "drinking and eating luxuriously to death." Osaka Castle was built by Toyotomi HIDEYOSHI in 1585. Oh, it's my residence, isn't it ! These days "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" area in USJ, or Universal Studios Japan, is also attracting more and more people. I'll be looking forward to seeing you !!

Hoshie K.

I fell in love with Kagoshima the moment I set foot here, and it's been five years. I’m a national government licensed tour guide. Kagoshima is a perfect blend of stunning nature and rich culture. We can see the majestic Sakurajima volcano from the city to feel the powerful natural force. Kagoshima was home to major Meiji Restoration figures, so history lovers will find plenty to explore. And of course, the food is incredible—famous for Kurobuta (Berkshire pork), Satsuma-age (fried fish cakes), and Shochu (a local distilled spirit). I love eating, cooking, doing outdoor activities like kayaking, hiking, and camping, telling stories of people who made Kagoshima what it is today. If you wish, I would be happy to customize a tour and plan your perfect itinerary. I look forward to sharing wonderful Kagoshima with you and making unforgettable memories together!

Growing up here, I’ve cultivated not only an insider’s knowledge of the city’s famous landmarks but also the hidden corners that most visitors miss.

The city is also a culinary treasure trove, from hearty Bavarian classics to vibrant street food markets that showcase local flavors. And with a rich calendar of seasonal events, like the world-famous Oktoberfest and magical Christmas markets, there’s always something to celebrate. Beyond the main attractions, I enjoy introducing visitors to lesser-known treasures like the Auer Dult, a traditional fair, and Starkbierfest, Munich's “strong beer” festival rooted in Bavarian monastic tradition. Through my videos and tours, I provide a local’s perspective that’s rich with personal anecdotes and connections to the city’s past and present. Whether you’re looking for iconic sights, authentic eats, or a deep dive into Munich’s vibrant, authentic spots, I’m here to show you a side of Munich that you’ll never forget.

Israel

Sharona L.

About myself – Sharona L. My parents made Aliya= emigrated from Philadelphia to Israel in 1963. So I was born in 1970 and raised here as a "sabra" – that’s what native Israelis call themselves. I grew up hearing both English and Hebrew in my home. My family – parents, 3 siblings and myself – always liked travelling and nature. Camping and hiking are a good part of my best childhood memories. As a teenager I joined a youth hiking club which was based in the Judean Desert. The club belonged to the SPNI – Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel. During our hikes we also learned about the geology, biology and history of the places we visited. I knew already back then, that this is what I wanted to do with my life – hike in nature and visit interesting sites and places. After graduating high school I did my mandatory service in the Israel Defense Forces. I was a gardener, and fiercely fought against all weeds in the army bases I served in… When released from service, I went to study "Land of Israel Studies" at the Beit-Berl Teachers College. I received a B.Ed in geography and my official Tour Guide certification from the Ministry of Tourism in 1995. I have been a tour guide ever since. I love my job, and I love my country. I named both my sons after mountains in Israel – Tavor (20), and Bental (17).

I hold a Master’s degree in Heritage Conservation and Site Management from Brandenburg University of Technology in Cottbus-Senftenberg, Germany. My academic background, combined with a lifelong passion for Egyptian history, has shaped my career and deepened my dedication to sharing Egypt’s rich cultural legacy with the world. Born and raised in Giza, just a stone’s throw from the Giza Plateau, I’ve been immersed in the world of ancient history from an early age. Growing up within sight of the pyramids, along with being part of a family that includes many Egyptologists, inspired me to become one of Egypt’s tourism ambassadors. Throughout my studies and professional career, I’ve had the opportunity to travel extensively—both within Egypt and internationally. I’ve explored numerous cities abroad including Berlin, Dresden, Potsdam, Munich, Hamburg, Milan, Venice, Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Brussels, Prague, and Vienna. I’ve also visited Saudi Arabia, Istanbul, Sapanca, and Bursa in Turkey. In Egypt, I’ve traveled across every governorate and region, gaining deep knowledge of the country’s diverse cultural, historical, and natural landscapes.
