I'm Hiroyuki. I was born in Osaka, central city in western Japan, and when I was college student, lived in Kyoto, previous capital of Japan, and now live in Tokyo, current capital. I have worked for a global company for about 30 years. Working with international members gave me the opportunity to communicate with people with different cultures, and sometimes the opportunity to guide the spots of interest to them. I found it interesting to show Japanese interesting spots to the guests, such as the wonderful things, strange things, mysterious things, marvelous things. For the past few years, I tried to improve ability to communicate with people from abroad. Recently, Japanese history intrigued me. I’m really into finding historical places, local favorites, and unique systems in Japan. In the tour pages, I am introducing tours in Tokyo and tours in Kyoto and Osaka. I include the orthodox sightseeing places. However, you could also specify some unique local places. Information about local spots and local foods such as Ramen, Udon would be interesting to you. Please contact me and let’s talk about your itinerary specially made to order. I’m looking forward to hearing from you and to seeing you in Japan.

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!

Hello everyone! I'm Toru, a nationally licensed tour guide. I mainly guide individual travelers and small groups around Tokyo, Kamakura, and Hakone. I live in a town near Narita International Airport. People often say that one of the unique traits of Japanese culture is paying close attention to detail while trying not to show it. In other words, there are many unspoken stories hidden behind what you see in Japan. I always try to interpret those stories and help my guests discover the secrets of Japanese culture. I offer three tour plans — Tokyo, Kamakura, and Hakone — which I believe are perfect for first-time visitors to Japan. Each one includes the must-see highlights of the area. I'm really looking forward to meeting you in Japan!

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 !!

The Best Way to Feel Barcelona. With 19 years of experience as a professional tour guide and a lifelong passion for exploring the world, I’ve learned that the most memorable journeys are never about simply seeing a destination—they’re about truly feeling it. Originally from Colombia, I began my career as a tour guide in Paris, where I also trained new guides for an international tourism company. I hold a Master’s degree in French Literature from La Sorbonne University and a degree in Languages and Socio-Cultural Studies. Years later, I followed my heart to Barcelona, the city I now proudly call home. Today, I specialize in creating thoughtfully curated private experiences tailored to each traveler. As a passionate traveler myself, I understand what discerning travelers truly value: authenticity, flexibility, meaningful connections, and experiences that feel personal rather than scripted. Whether you’re passionate about history, architecture, gastronomy, art, or simply want to experience Barcelona beyond the typical tourist attractions, every itinerary is designed around your interests, pace, and travel style. My goal is simple: I don’t want you to feel like you’re following a tour guide. I want you to feel like you’re spending the day with a knowledgeable local friend who is genuinely excited to share the city’s hidden corners, fascinating stories, favorite restaurants, and authentic culture. I believe the greatest luxury is having an experience designed exclusively for you. That’s why every tour is completely personalized, allowing you to discover Barcelona at your own pace while creating unforgettable memories that will stay with you long after your journey ends. By the end of our time together, I hope you won’t just have seen Barcelona—I hope you’ll have truly felt it.

My name is Miki, and I was born and raised in Kyoto. The streets, temples, shrines, gardens, arts and crafts, and traditions here have been part of my life since childhood, and sharing them with visitors is something I truly love. My father designs traditional Sukiya-style architecture, Japanese gardens, and tea rooms, and is also a passionate collector of antiques from Japan and Korea. Through his work, I developed a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship and beauty found throughout Japanese culture. My mother is a professional cook, and I grew up watching my parents warmly welcome guests into our home, preparing matcha and meals while creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. From them, I learned the spirit of Japanese hospitality Omotenashi. I began learning English at an international school in elementary school, which allowed me to communicate with people from many different countries from a young age. Over time, I realized how much I enjoy helping people discover the deeper meaning behind the places we visit. Kyoto is a city where every temple, shrine, garden, and small street has a story. While many visitors are drawn to its beauty, understanding the history and traditions behind these places makes the experience even more meaningful. I love sharing these stories and introducing hidden local spots that many visitors might otherwise miss. My goal is to help you experience Kyoto with all five senses and enjoy the culture and traditions that make this city so special. Whether it is your first time visiting Japan or you are returning to Kyoto, I would be truly honored to share this beautiful city with you. If I can help create even a small, special moment in Kyoto that becomes a lasting memory for you, it would be my greatest happiness.

Hello, I'm Philipp, A native of Munich with a lifelong connection to this incredible city. As a passionate tour guide and content creator, I specialize in bringing Munich's unique stories and lesser-known gems to life. 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. Munich’s history spans from its medieval foundations to its complex role in the rise of National Socialism, and I strive to present these chapters with the depth and context they deserve. 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.

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.

I love what I do. I love my part of the country and live in one of the most beautiful countries and cities. I can say this after travelling too. I am not a fan of wasting your time (or mine) standing in long queues. We have about 4 places where you may need to do so. Otherwise I take you to the little known but beautiful spots to enjoy. Let me know what your favourite things are to do, and I can design a tour around this (eg art, museums, nature, animals, wine). I will design anything from one day trips to 5 day trips. I also know a fair amount about the Xhosa population and can show you a lot in this regard. I am fully vaccinated and have received my booster. If you need an airport transfer - please ask. If you want buy a wooden item - please ask.

I am an Egyptologist, heritage professional, and licensed freelance tour guide with over 15 years of experience in the field of Egyptian tourism and cultural heritage. 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. It would be my pleasure to guide you through an unforgettable journey during your visit to Egypt—bringing its ancient wonders and vibrant culture to life through authentic storytelling and professional insight.

My name is Jeronimo (Jeroen). I'm Mexican and European. I studied economics with a specialization in International Management at Maastricht University, The Netherlands. I have always been fascinated by Latin America. After my studies I worked as a consultant, entrepreneur and commercial director in Belgium, Brazil, The Netherlands, Guatemala, and Argentina. I have been active in humanitarian aid in Third World countries worldwide. I have travelled extensively to Africa, Eastern Europe and Latin America. I have worked as a tour conductor in France, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize and Indonesia. Mexico is where I decided to stay twenty years ago. I started off with groups of 20 people with trips of 28 days from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize and back to Mexico. After this I switched to trips of 21 days visiting the same countries. After having visited each archaeological site over 60 times, each time with another local guide, I decided to study Mexican History and Archaeology, inspired by some of the local guides who told the tourists that the Mayas landed from Mars in spaceships. I am specialized in Maya culture. Working with people and showing them different cultures is what fascinates me. In 2004, I started off with the big tour companies like TUI and Thomas Cook, who commercialized the trips from 28 days and reduced it to 12 days. I did that for 10 years, after which I went on as a private tour guide/driver for small groups. I offer private day tours and multi day tours to all archaeological sites and nature parks transportation included in English, French, German, Dutch, and Spanish.

Hello! My name is Tadashi. I was born and raised in Fukuoka and I've lived here all my life. I used to work for a local bank where I was mainly involved in export, import, and foreign exchange, etc. Afterwards I joined a university where I taught international economics and foreign trade for five years. I'm happy to arrange your tour plans according to your requests and help you to write your own unique story with me. If you're coming to Fukuoka for the first time, I recommend Tochoji Temple, Kushida Shrine and Fukuoka Castle Ruins where you can get feel for Japanese culture and history. Thirty minutes away from the center by train is Dazaifu. There you can enjoy a very famous shrine, Dazaifu Tenmangu, known as the home of " the god of literature or calligraphy." and Kyushu National Museum. Fukuoka is also a mecca for shopping and food. If you're coming to Fukuoka again, I recommend that you try local food, for example, Hakata Ramen-noodles in pork broth and locally caught fish. I can also take you to a traditional Japanese shopping arcade, Kawabata Shotengai. If you would like to get out of the city, we could go to Yanagawa, a town of canals, which is a one hour ride from the city center. You can try boat tours enjoying the leisurely view of the historic buildings and try Steamed Eel. Fukuoka travel tip: if you arrive in Fukuoka by JR, make sure to get off at "Hakata Station." Sorry, there's no "Fukuoka Station." on JR lines. Hakata is an old name for Fukuoka and your destination. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
