Hiroyuki T.

Hi! I had been working for Wakayama Prefectural Government for 38 years, mainly in the field of cultural heritage management and international relations. I am a national certificated English guide and I have a lot of knowledge and experience in the field of cultural heritage management and international relations. I am very good at cultural heritages. And Koyasan and Kumano in Wakayama Prefecture are inscribed in the World Heritage List as parts of “Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range". I was a project manager of "the Koyasan and Kumano World Heritage Inscription Project” at Wakayama Prefectural Government. I know inside and out of Koyasan, Kumano, Wakayama and other places in the Kansai area. I have a lot of experience of guiding as I was also in charge of international relations for a long time at the government. I will be able to provide interpretive guiding service for you around Koyasan, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka and other places as I was a cultural heritage management and international relations professional. I am sure you will be able to get deeper understandings on Japanese culture and that your trip with me will be memorable one.

As a scholar and educator, I bridge the gap between Japan’s legendary history and its modern culture and culinary scenes. I don’t just show you the city; I give you 25 years of lived perspective.

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!

Gonçalo C.

I’ve been working as a tour guide for over 8 years, starting from scratch and gaining experience with some of the biggest tour operators in Lisbon. Over time, my passion for exploring, studying, and sharing the best of Portugal — from north to south — led me to become a full-time private guide, studying and certifying myself as an officially licensed tourist guide by the Portuguese Republic. Throughout these years, I’ve been constantly deepening my historical knowledge while guiding travelers, which not only expanded my understanding of Portugal, but also sparked a genuine curiosity for different cultures and traditions. That’s what drives me to design unique, off-the-beaten-path experiences across the country — always aiming to deliver something authentic, local and memorable. I describe my job simply: to give you the perfect day, tailored to your pace and preferences, in the region (or regions!) that interest you most in our small paradise. • Certified Tourist Guide by the Portuguese Republic: 689/2025 • Tourism of Portugal RNAAT: 26/2024 • Fully licensed and insured, registered with Turismo de Portugal • “Clean & Safe” certified Private tours available for up to: – 4 passengers in a Mercedes E-Class sedan – 8 passengers in a Mercedes Vito van (additional fee applies) For larger groups than 8 requiring a minibus, feel free to reach out for availability and a custom quote.

There are countless places that I believe people would love. I am a certified English interpreter guide certified by Kyoto City, Uji City and Otsu City.

Koichi W.

Hi! I'm Koichi. I was born in Osaka, I studied in Kyoto when I was a university student. Now I live in Shiga next to Kyoto. I am a national government licensed tour guide. I have been guiding about 160 groups over the past twelve months. I usually guide my customers mainly in Kansai region including Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Kobe and Shiga by public transportation systems. Well, I am curious about Japanese history, especially the history of Japan's ancient times since I was raised next to the world biggest mausoleum of the ancient Emperor called "Nintoku" in Sakai city Osaka which has just become one of the world cultural heritage sites. I dug out some ancient earthen ware vessels around there when I was a primary school student like the adventure archaeologist “Indiana Jones"　(It’s our secret!!). That was my hobby. Now, one of my hobbies is outdoor activities such as mountaineering, kayaking, skiing and others. So I would like to take you to some good places where you can enjoy Japanese unique nature. I love to guide foreign visitors from all over the world. I think it is my calling or heavenly given job. Let's go and enjoy together! I hope to see you soon.

Diogo C.

Hello, I’m Diogo — a private Lisbon tour guide, sommelier, and host, with a background in hospitality and Portuguese culture. I’ve worked for many years in the hospitality world in Portugal and London, including as a sommelier, and I studied the WSET Level 3 in Wines in London. I’m also the co-founder of a Portuguese wine brand in Alcácer do Sal, which gives me a strong connection to local producers and the countryside beyond the cities. While wine is an important part of my background, my tours are not limited to food and wine. I design private, tailor-made tours from Lisbon that can focus on culture, history, landscapes, architecture, and everyday local life, or combine these elements naturally with wine and gastronomy when it makes sense. I work exclusively with private guests and small groups, creating experiences at a relaxed pace and shaped around each guest’s interests. Whether you’re visiting Portugal for the first time or returning to explore more deeply, my goal is to offer an authentic, personal perspective rather than a standard sightseeing tour. I look forward to welcoming you and helping you experience Portugal in a genuine, unhurried way.

Spain

Vanessa R.

Hola and welcome to Madrid and its surroundings! My name is Vanessa and I'm looking forward to showing you this beautiful and unique city and making sure that you enjoy every second of your visit. But not only the city of Madrid; there are a number of other cities, within a distance of 60-70 minutes by car, like Toledo, Segovia, El Escorial, Ávila, … that fully complement the modern Madrid with the history of Spain in more than two thousand years: romans, muslins, jews and christians. I’m a proud madrileña with Swiss Heritage from my father. He came to Madrid in the sixties and fell in love with it. I have also lived in other European countries like Switzerland, Germany and France. Although I have travelled a lot, my favourite city has always been Madrid and its secret squares, sunny terraces, centenary shops, taverns and great city life. Come with me and discover the history and legends of Madrid, its Muslim origins, the charming streets and neighbourhoods, three of the best art museums in the world, the unique shops, the best tapas and especially the Spanish way of life. We can also have a look over the roofs of Madrid from special viewpoints and taste the authentic gastronomy and wines in town. In the cities around Madrid you will see a different place. Much smaller, more quiet and with an amazing and still touchable history. Cities that ruled the region and Spain thousand years ago, when Madrid did not even exist. PS: If what you want to see is not included in my list (like the Thyssen Museum, Retiro Park, Aranjuez, Lavapies), please send me an email and I will arrange a special tour for you. Bienvenidos! Licensed Tour Guide in Spain and Spanish National Trust Sites ( Royal Palace, El Escorial, Toledo, Segovia, Avila ) with almost 10 years Guiding experience. Expert in History & History of Art
