Kazunori O.

Hello! I’m Kazunori. I’ve been guiding visitors around Kyoto for the past two years. So far, I’ve guided more than 30 groups. Many guests have told me I should become a professional guide, and their kind reviews encouraged me to join GoWithGuide. I know Kyoto very well, especially Arashiyama and the Higashiyama area, including Kiyomizu-dera. My goal is to help you enjoy Japan so much that you’ll want to come back again. I’ll be happy to share Kyoto’s history, food culture, and traditions in a simple and enjoyable way. I look forward to meeting you and showing you the beauty of Kyoto!

Pima W.

Hi, I'm Pima! I'm a licensed English-speaking guide in Hangzhou. I moved to Hangzhou from northern China in 2012, drawn by its lakes, tea mountains, and the weight of a thousand years of poetry. My background isn't your typical guide story. I started as a journalist, then became the only content strategist in a marketing department before I found my true calling: telling stories about places. I'm also a museum docent and a bird watcher, which means I spend my off hours in galleries and nature. What I bring to a tour: It's the result of hundreds of books, academic papers, and conversations with local elders. I specialize in the Dynasties in China, and the old shiny civilization. My tours are built on stories. Ask me about tea and I'll take you to the actual source. Ask me about history and I'll show you where poets once carved their verses into stone. Ask me what else I love and I'll tell you: birdwatching, stargazing, 3D printing, and finding quiet corners of this city that even locals don't know exist. I don't rush. And I genuinely believe that the best tours feel less like a tour and more like walking through history with a friend who happens to know a lot. Come explore China with me. Let's make a real conversation.

Machi S.

Hello, my name is Machiko! I was born in raised in Kanagawa Prefecture but also lived for 12 years in the United States. While living in California, many people showed me kindness and helped me to adjust to living abroad. Now that I am back in Japan, I want to "pay it forward" and return that kindness by sharing my local knowledge of Kanagawa to visitors from abroad. In Japanese, we have a word, "omotenashi", which means "hospitality". It is an important part of our culture to welcome our guests with warmth and sincerity. I can speak both English and Japanese, so I want to be more than just a personal tour guide; I want to help bridge our cultures, with respect and understanding, while sharing the beauty and local charms of Japan. Please consider me and we can explore my corner of Japan to learn about the culture, food and history of my home together!

Jain P.

Namaste! I am Jain, and I would love to be your personal companion in the timeless city of Varanasi. To me, you are more than just a tourist; you are a guest in my home city. While we will witness the magic of the Ganga Aarti and the sacred silence of Sarnath together, my goal is to show you the "real" Banaras that exists beyond the crowds—the quiet corners, the authentic stories, and the local flavors. You should travel with me because I take care of every small detail, ensuring you feel safe, comfortable, and truly connected to our culture. Let’s skip the generic tours and create a journey that feels personal to you. I invite you to walk with me through the "City of Light" and experience the warmth and spirituality of Kashi just like a local.

Weili Z.

I am passionate about sharing the rich history, cultural heritage, and hidden gems of the area. I offer insights into local traditions, stories, and folklore that bring each destination to life. As an experienced, licensed, English-speaking native local private guide specializing in tailor-made experiences for international travelers, I design each itinerary around what genuinely interests my guests, not a fixed checklist of sights. I take care of the details so you can enjoy a hassle-free trip: I help with ticket booking, restaurant reservations, and transport, respond quickly to messages before and during your trip, and stay flexible when plans change. I am familiar with the local food scene and happy to recommend places that match your tastes. In addition, I can introduce you to entertainment spots and shopping areas, helping you experience both the traditional and modern sides of the city.

Russell B.

Hi! My name is Russell and I lead private hiking, sightseeing, and snowshoeing tours in the Canadian Rockies, focusing on Kananaskis and the national parks of Banff, Yoho, and Kootenay. My tours operate year-round and include door-to-door transportation and a picnic lunch for all guests, up to a maximum of 11. Tours are customizable according to group preferences and pace, and my itineraries suit a wide range of visitors from couples and families, to groups of friends or corporate outings. Having spent time living in Europe, the US, South America, and the Far East, I feel so lucky to now call Calgary home and am immensely passionate about sharing the beauty of the Canadian Rockies with visitors from all over the world. I prioritize a safe, ethical, and immersive approach to showcasing the Rockies, and am an IGA-certified four-season hiking guide with wilderness first aid training and a class 4 commercial driving license. My goal is simple: to exceed expectations and deliver a highlight-of-the-trip experience, every time. Giving back: A portion of every journey is donated to a hand-picked charity supporting either environmental protection, Indigenous education, or animal welfare. You’ll have the opportunity to choose which cause your booking supports.

Andrii K.

Hello! I’m Andrew, a professional city guide with years of experience leading tours across Poland and Ukraine. As a licensed guide for Wawel Royal Castle and the Schindler’s Factory Museum, I specialize in bringing Kraków’s complex and vibrant history to life. Beyond the city streets, I love showing guests the natural beauty of Poland—from the stunning rock formations of Ojców National Park to the mountain culture of Zakopane. I also offer specialized services in genealogy research, helping families reconnect with their roots and discover their ancestral history. Whether you are looking for a deep dive into history or a perfectly planned trip, I would be honored to be your guide and host in Poland!

Esteban G.

Born and raised in Santiago, with 10+ years in tourism. Passionate about wildlife, history, food, and wine — I love sharing the stories behind this city and the country. Every tour is personalized: tell me what excites you, and I’ll build the experience around it.

Martin H.

Hello! I’m Martin, a local guide from Eastern Austria / Vienna, officially licensed, highly experienced, and still genuinely excited about showing people around Central Europe. I speak English and German, and I can confidently order food in a few other languages — which, as you’ll soon discover, is a very important skill given my specialization in food and wine tours. From elegant Viennese classics to regional surprises, I firmly believe history tastes better when paired with the right dish and a good glass of wine. Over the years, my guests and I have explored Central Europe using just about every mode of transport imaginable. We’ve traveled by modern cars, vintage vehicles, vans, buses, electric trains, diesel trains, steam trains, and even trains with cogwheels. On water, we’ve used large river cruise ships, speed boats, kayaks, and pedal boats — sometimes gracefully, sometimes enthusiastically. On land, we’ve gone even further: horses, donkeys, alpacas… and yes, once even a tank. (No worries — it was for sightseeing, not invading.) My tours are informative but relaxed, well-organized but never stiff, and always adapted to what you enjoy most. Think of me less as a guide and more as a local friend who knows where to go, what to eat, what to drink, and how to get there — preferably in an interesting way. If you’re curious about Central Europe, love good food and wine, and enjoy travel stories that come with a sense of humor, I’d be happy to guide you. Welcome aboard — whatever we’re riding this time.

Moto E.

I live in Yamanashi Prefecture in Japan. I am a certified National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English. I acquired my certificate in February 2017. I can guide in the areas of Yamanashi, Nagano, and the Greater Tokyo Area and more depending on your interests. Yamanashi is located at the base of Mount Fuji, so it is easy to visit there. Great views of Mount Fuji and strolling in the nostalgic areas of an old town are available. And also, the snow monkey park is not very far. I will offer customized-private tours designed around your interests, and I will adapt the tours and make them flexible to fit your needs. Each tour will be enjoyable and memorable. However, the hardest part will be choosing which place and what you would like to explore. I am available for consultation should you need it. I was educated in Japan and the USA. I have a Ph.D. in Biology and I did my post-doc career in the US. I worked in the R&D and Quality Control departments in cosmetics companies and I was a laboratory manager for a vegetable seeds company in Japan. I was a research scientist in New Zealand for a short time. I planned the industry tours for foreign specialists and guided them to the corresponding enterprises. I grew Oriental vegetables for commercial purposes for a company in the UK. I was a rice cultivation assistant in Africa as a member of the Japanese Peace Corps. I visited Iran, Iraq, and Syria as a member of a goodwill mission organized by the government. After retirement, I have been a tour guide. I accompany guests on offshore trips from cruise ships. I can arrange walking tours in the Aogihara Forest area including lava caves like the Ice Cave and Wind Cave, and also strolling tours in the nostalgic town of Yamanashi. I have two websites guiding about Yamanashi and Mount Fuji areas.

Miguel P.

I have always felt a deep connection to my country’s nature and history. I studied Biology and traveled across Portugal working in Nature Conservation, uncovering the breathtaking landscapes and hidden gems that make this land so special. More than just a guide, I am passionate about sharing the true soul of Portugal with those who visit us. Our history, our cuisine, and above all, our wine tell the story of an ancient country rich in tradition and culture. To me, there’s nothing better than exploring centuries-old cellars, tasting delicious wines, and diving into the stories that each bottle holds. Join me on an authentic and unforgettable journey through Portugal. From Lisbon’s historic streets to untouched natural landscapes, from prestigious wine cellars to hidden gastronomic treasures, every experience will be a true feast for the senses. Portugal awaits you. Are you ready for this adventure?

Hüseyin K.

Cultural storyteller and licensed guide (20+ years). Personal journeys into living culture. For the past 20 years I’ve guided English-speaking travelers across Turkey, from Istanbul to Cappadocia, Ephesus and beyond. I live in Istanbul and know both the history and the everyday life of these places. Facts are easy to find in apps or AI tools, but standing with someone who lives the culture is different. I work as a storyteller, combining history with real local life, conversations and a bit of humor so you truly understand and feel the place. Guests often leave still connected and wanting to travel again. That human connection is what I focus on.

Burak G.

Hi, I'm Burak, and I’m proud to be a local host in the magnificent city of Istanbul. What I love most about this city is the profound sense of history that you can feel simply by walking down any street. One of my favorite ways to explore the city is by riding my motorcycle, whether through the lively streets of the city center or the quieter outskirts where nature and history meet. I also enjoy visiting authentic neighborhoods, where I can engage with the local people and hear their stories. As someone who has a deep knowledge of Istanbul’s historical buildings and must-see sites, I’m excited to share these treasures with visitors. I also know where to find the best and most traditional food in the city, from local street vendors to hidden gems that serve up authentic flavors you can’t miss. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or returning to discover something new, I’m here to help you experience the best of what Istanbul has to offer.

Haluk T.

Hi, I’m Haluk, a licensed tour guide and a fourth-generation Istanbulite. I was born and raised here, and I enjoy sharing both the city’s history and the changes I’ve seen in its neighbourhoods during my own lifetime. For me, a good tour starts with getting to know you. I like to spend the first few minutes understanding your interests and finding a pace that suits you. Some guests enjoy detailed conversations about history and architecture; others prefer a broader introduction, with time for local food, questions and a tea or coffee break. I received my guiding licence in 1997 and returned to tourism full-time in 2011 after a career in banking. Guiding Turkish groups in Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Egypt has also shaped how I explain my own city. I enjoy connecting Istanbul’s history, architecture and traditions with the wider Mediterranean world. We might explore the imperial monuments of the Old City, walk through Fener and Balat, or cross to Kadıköy for its markets, local restaurants and bookshops. I particularly enjoy helping guests start a conversation with people they might otherwise simply walk past, including booksellers I know on the Asian side. Whether this is your first visit or you’re returning to see more, I want you to feel like my personal guests in my own city. Tell me what interests you and how you like to travel, and we can plan your day together.
