Portugal

Joao M.

Hello, I'm João. I was born in Coimbra, and I have a degree in Anthropology, and master's degree in Cultural heritage, management and programming. I am a certified guide. I love meeting new people and helping them get to know my country better. If you enjoy history and want to learn more about our culture and traditions, I think my tours are the best choice for you. I work mainly in the city of Coimbra, and around. I am based in Coimbra region, but I am also available for tours in Lisbon, Aveiro, or Porto. I will be happily suggesting you a full customized tour in these 3 cities. Please send me a request, just customize your request. This is just a suggestion, but If you are very interested in history and would like to take an original tour in Lisbon, we can visit various archaeological sites in Lisbon (such as Roman cisterns, city walls, and Iron Age neighborhoods), sometimes walking through unexpected places, such as shopping malls or under hotels, banks, churches, and even bathrooms (public, clean)... History is where you least expect it. Thank you!

I have formal training in practical photography, certified by a Japanese art education association, and will gladly assist you in capturing memorable moments during the tour.

Japan

Jun M.

Hello! I'm Jun, your adventure travel guide. My fascination with the nature of Kyushu began when I was a child and my parents took me to the beautiful Aso mountains and their vast green grasslands. That view remains my starting point to this day. Having been born and raised in Kyushu and having studied its nature, history, and culture, I will guide you to the "real Kyushu" that you won't find in guidebooks. From the majestic volcanic landscapes of Aso to the mystical gorges of Takachiho and the hot spring–rich lands of Beppu, Kyushu is alive with breathtaking natural wonders around every corner. It's the history and culture of the people who have lived alongside this nature that make this place truly special. My tours offer more than just scenic views. Through interactions with locals, experiences of traditional food culture, and activities in nature, I deliver journeys where you can experience Kyushu with your whole being. Only by learning how the land was formed, hearing from the people who live here, and setting foot on the land yourself will you have a truly memorable experience. Over the past several years, I have gained experience leading mountain hiking and rural walking tours as a registered outdoor guide of Oita. I have completed Wilderness Advanced First Aid (WAFA) training. Come discover Kyushu's charm with me and create a memory that will stay with you forever!

Japan

Hitomi K.

Hi, I’m Hitomi. I was born and raised on a small, beautiful island in Japan. Growing up there has instilled in me a deep appreciation for beautiful places and an insatiable curiosity about the world. After working in the private sector in Tokyo for many years, I transitioned into a national government tour guide in 2017. Volunteering at the golf course during the 2021 Tokyo Olympics was an absolute blast! I’ve had the privilege of leading a wide range of tours, from visits to shrines and temples to immersive experiences in anime, pop culture, food tasting, geisha experiences, and Japanese calligraphy. These tours have taken place at some incredible locations within and around Tokyo. I’m particularly passionate about showcasing the hidden gems of the Kanto region, including Tokyo, Saitama, and Nikko. In addition to my tour guiding, I’m also a Japanese Calligraphy master, having honed my skills since kindergarten. It brings me immense joy to share this rich Japanese culture with international guests, and I’m thrilled to continue sharing my passion for Japan with even more people!

China

Scarlett H.

Hi there! I’m Scarlett, a licensed English-speaking guide based in Hangzhou and covering the gorgeous Shanghai-Jiangsu-Zhejiang region. My friends often call me a bit of a story-collector. Having graduated from Cambridge with a degree in sociology, I love going beyond the standard postcard views to help you understand the real, living pulse of China (e.g. local stories, hidden details, and quirky histories most tourists walk right past). Everything I do is entirely customized around your vibe. Whether you’re dreaming of a zen day sipping tea in mist-shrouded valleys, hunting down the best under-the-radar street eats, or chasing futuristic, cyberpunk cityscapes for that perfect shot, we can design it from scratch. We can easily explore on foot, but if you want to travel in total comfort and style, I also offer car tours with my own very cozy private wheels, perfect for escaping the summer heat or zipping between hidden spots. Oh, and you can leave the camera duty to me! I have a real passion for photography and a sharp eye for lighting and angles, so I’ll make sure you go home with a camera roll full of stunning memories. Whether you're here for a quick weekend or a deep-dive adventure, just drop me a message and let's craft your perfect trip!

Japan

Masayoshi K.

Hello and welcome! I have been living in Kamakura for about seven years, just a short five-minute walk from Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. I truly love this city for its unique combination of historic temples, peaceful nature, and traditional streets. One of my favorite hobbies is walking around Kamakura with my camera and capturing everyday scenes of the town. I enjoy discovering small streets, quiet temples, and scenic viewpoints. I use a Sony α7CII camera and enjoy helping visitors capture beautiful and memorable photos of their trip. I also run twice a week in the morning, often along Kamakura’s hiking trails or by Yuigahama Beach. Because of this, I am very familiar with many walking routes and hidden paths in the area. If you enjoy nature, hiking, or longer walks, I would be happy to guide you through some of Kamakura’s beautiful spots. I graduated from a university in the United States and continue to use English regularly in my work and through international exchange events. I enjoy meeting people from different cultures and sharing the charm of Kamakura in English. During our tour, I hope to show you not only famous places such as the Great Buddha and Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, but also the relaxing atmosphere, nature, and everyday beauty of Kamakura. I would also be happy to help you take great photos so you can bring home wonderful memories of your trip. I look forward to exploring Kamakura together with you!

Austria

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.
