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!

Kei H.

Hello! I’m Keita — call me Kei — a licensed local guide based in Oita, in the heart of Kyushu. I specialize in my home region, from well-loved destinations like Beppu and Yufuin to the quiet, authentic places that most visitors never find: rural pottery villages, family farms, hidden hot springs, and the backroads of the countryside where I grew up. Guiding isn’t a side pursuit for me — it’s my profession. As a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter, I’ve spent years designing and leading private tours across Kyushu, and I work alongside a small team of local guides who share the same care. That means when you travel with me, you’re getting someone who plans every detail personally and knows the region inside out. I tailor each day entirely around you. Whether you’re a food lover chasing the real local flavors, a history enthusiast, or someone who simply wants to slow down in nature, I’ll shape an itinerary that fits — and I’ll handle the logistics so you can relax and enjoy it. I guide in fluent English, and I love the conversations that happen along the way. Let’s go beyond the usual route and discover the Kyushu that locals treasure. I’d be glad to welcome you.

Egypt

Aly E.

Hello, everyone. I am an officially licensed Egyptologist and English-speaking tourist guide. As a dedicated Egyptologist-guide, I serve as a vibrant link between the ancient world and today, which is what truly elevates a tour into something memorable. Rather than viewing monuments as mere stone structured or curved, but rather I encourage guests to listen to them whispering the stories of ancient artisans, priests, and ordinary Egyptians, transforming a simple sightseeing trip into a rich dialogue that spans the ages. By highlighting modern Egyptian culture—its cuisine, music, and warmth—I help travelers feel they’re part of an ongoing story rather than just spectators of history. My passion for flexibility means we can shift from a busy tomb to a charming local café whenever curiosity strikes. This comprehensive approach not only enhances visitors' understanding but also fosters a sense of belonging, making Egypt feel like a second home. It’s a striking reminder that heritage tourism is most vibrant when we blend archaeology, contemporary culture, and genuine connections.
