Switzerland

Hanna P.

I am Anna, and I am absolutely in love with Switzerland. The green meadows with Swiss cows, the snow-capped mountains, the powerful waterfalls, and the stunning colors of the alpine lakes—to me, all of this is priceless. I live in the beautiful Swiss Riviera region. This area has always attracted famous people like Freddie Mercury, Coco Chanel, Igor Stravinsky, Audrey Hepburn, and Charlie Chaplin. They chose to live here, and I think they definitely had great taste! My Journey to Guiding Before becoming a guide, I earned a degree in Marketing in my home country and started working a standard office job. My life was stable, but I felt like I wasn't truly living. So, I decided to change my life and took a job on a cruise ship sailing the Caribbean. Since then, I have never gone back to an office. I started guiding when I was living in Madrid, Spain. That was the exact moment I realized that working with travelers is my true passion. How I Work For me, a great day tour requires serious preparation—both with the schedule and the information I share. Every journey is unique because I customize it based on your wishes. I truly believe that every minute of your tour should bring you the best possible experience! I look forward to meeting you and exploring Switzerland together. Best regards, Your Friend in Switzerland, Anna Tour Logistics Transportation: I do not drive a private car on my tours. However, I can easily accompany you in your own vehicle, arrange a private car with a professional driver, or we can use Switzerland's excellent public transport system.

Kenya

Lewis N.

Hello! I'm Lewis, a Kenyan documentary filmmaker, an experienced tour guide and the host of an authentic family homestay where travellers can experience real rural life beyond the usual tourist routes. I enjoy welcoming people from around the world and sharing the traditions, history, and daily life of the Meru people, one of East Kenya's oldest Bantu communities. Our homesteads offer a genuine cultural exchange where you'll live with a local family, enjoy home-cooked meals, participate in farming and community activities, and learn through storytelling and shared experiences. We also organise visits to the beautiful Meru National Park, a rarely touristed route near cultural and natural sites. Whether you're a traveller, photographer, filmmaker, researcher, or simply curious about authentic Kenyan culture, you'll be welcomed with warmth, respect, and the opportunity to create meaningful memories while becoming part of our community.

Hello, it's nice to meet you! After living in Aomori, Japan for almost 22 years, I’ve moved back to my native Melbourne. I loved showing visitors around Aomori and I'm very happy to be doing the same in Melbourne. It's a wonderful city and there's a lot to see and do. Melbourne is known for its many beautiful parks and gardens, markets, lanes, its 'upside down' river and of course, its coffee culture. If there's anything in particular you would like to see or do, please don't hesitate to ask, I'm always happy to accommodate requests when possible! Let's have fun exploring this amazing city together!

Japan

Hiroaki

I was born and bred in Tokyo, so I have some native knowledge there. I worked for trading house for more than 30 years. During this time I was fortunate enough to have chances to contact things & people abroad, while I came to know Japan is very rich in beautiful things including traditional culture, food, area and site due to domestic trips on business. Taking both experiences both of domestic and abroad I thought I could contribute a little bit to mutual understanding and introduction of Japanese things to people from abroad. After retirement I decided to introduce beauty and charm of Japan. Through guiding I've come to know the questions that people from abroad are likely to feel curious about Japan. My basic ideas to attend guests are, either first visitors or repeaters, I would like to explain the points you want to know steadily for sure in all field including traditional cultures, things about present Japan, and pop cultures. Having cheerful and bright nature, I think I can show you around not only must-see spots but also the off-the-beaten path as you like, to make tour something new and enjoyable. Looking forwards to meeting you soon !

Japan

Joji T.

Hello! I am Joji. Please call me Joji. Or Bonjoji, if it is easier for you to remember from the name of the famous Rockband BonJovi. I was born and raised in Kyoto untill 19 years old. But I have not paid attention to the fact that the city was an old capital of Japan. There was a small old temple near my house and I used it as nothing more than a good place to play "hide and seek" then. I studied English and graduated from University of South Carolina with Statistic major. During my work at a precision equipment company, I have lived in California and New Jersey in the states for 12 years. While I was in the States, I have been treated like a family by many local American people. So, it is a time that I treat you back well while you are traveling in Japan. (If you were not American, no worries and I would treat you same.) Now, I got old and developed an interest in the history and culture of Kyoto and Nara, having learned more about it through English National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter Test, UNESCO World Heritage Academy and Cultural Examination, Kyoto Tourism Examination, Nara Sommelier Examination and etc. Spending a couple of years, I have successfully passed all these examinations. My hobby is visiting old ruins in the world so that I have been to Vesa Merde in the States, Macchu Picchu in Peru, Easter Island in Chile, Volbilis in Morocco, Tikal in Guatemala, Angkor Wat in Cambodia and etc. When I go to unknown places, I normally hire a local guide. I think it is the most efficient and smartest way to learn the places. Now, it is a time that I share what I know about beautiful Kyoto and historical Nara, as a guide. The goal of my guiding is to make your journey more comfortable, enjoyable and unforgettable while you are in Japan. Please feel free to contact me and let's enjoy the tour together. Bonjoji

Italy

Paolo T.

With a university degree in History, I worked all my life in the promotion of smart tourism, trying to unveil the magic that often cannot be discovered through mass tourism's overrun tracks. First based in Sicily, then in Berlin, now in Umbria, the green heart of Italy, the perfect mix of gorgeous nature, architecture and food experiences, I offer walking excursions as well as e-bike and Vespa motorbike tours. I try hard to grow people awareness that holiday and spare time, are all but marginal part of our Life, in fact being the most important part of life, where knowledge and pleasure create happiness and good memories.

Japan

Takahiro I.

I grew up in the UK, and have lived more than ten years in the UK and USA on overseas assignments. While I lived abroad, I started to realize how shallow my knowledge on Japanese culture, beliefs, history and food was for a Japanese resident, whenever I tried to respond to the questions my foreign friends had about Japan. For the last 20 years I’ve been doing a lot of domestic travel visiting areas that I’ve never been before, and studying history and culture, as well as enjoying Sake from all parts of Japan. From 2015, I intensified my studies of Japan, and in 2017, successfully received government certification as a qualified guide on Japan. Thinking it would help my studies as well as be beneficial for visitors to Japan, I opened a website titled “Rediscovering Japan” in 2016 to record my travels and share my experience with travelers to Japan. To date I have covered 25 of the 47 prefectures in Japan. I have found that rather than just visiting tourist spots at random, it is much more interesting if you have a clear theme of the places you are going to. I hope you'll enjoy the visits with me to rediscover Japan!

Japan

Shusaku M.

My name is Shusaku. I was born and raised in Osaka, where I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the beautiful landscapes and rich culture of the region. During my travels to 10 different countries, I came to realize the importance of listening to the locals to truly understand the culture and charm of a place. This experience taught me that local knowledge and experiences are invaluable in building a deeper understanding and connection while traveling. In my tours, I make it a point to not only showcase the popular tourist destinations but also to share insights into the everyday lives of locals and the culture of the region. By incorporating stories and knowledge from locals, I aim to provide a more enriching travel experience. My mission in life is to foster a deeper understanding of the world through travel and to build connections with people from different backgrounds. I look forward to creating unforgettable memories and sharing new discoveries with all of you!

Japan

Michele S.

My name is Michele, I’m 33 years old, and I’m originally from Italy. I’ve been living in Kyoto, Japan, since 2019. My journey began when I left Italy at the age of 22, seeking adventure and new experiences. I spent five incredible years living in Oceania, where I immersed myself in different cultures and explored breathtaking landscapes. During this time, I also traveled extensively across Asia, discovering its rich diversity and deepening my passion for exploring new places. In 2019, my wife Shizuka and I decided to settle in Kyoto to start a family. We chose Kyoto because of its unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, which has captivated us ever since. Over the years, we’ve traveled all over Japan, uncovering both its hidden gems and its iconic destinations. I’m an outdoor enthusiast who loves hiking and cycling. Whether it’s climbing mountain trails, exploring serene temples, or biking through picturesque countryside, I find joy in experiencing Japan’s beauty firsthand. My passion for the outdoors has also allowed me to discover many lesser-known spots that offer an authentic glimpse into the charm of Kyoto and beyond. As your guide, I’d love to share my knowledge and love for Kyoto with you. Whether it’s visiting famous landmarks or exploring hidden treasures off the beaten path, I’m here to make your journey memorable, personalized, and full of unique experiences. Let’s discover the magic of Kyoto together!
