Hi there! I’m Alex Before ending up in Japan, many years back, I had a nomad life across several Asian countries for many years as well. I spent most of that time in India, where among other activities I had my first experiences as a tour guide. There I also met my wife, and when the relationship got more serious we decided to settle down and have a more stable life, we chose Japan where she is from. Since then I had many personal experiences in this country in different fields such as human relations, jobs in different sectors, trips, bizarre situations, etc, experiences that I always like to share, together with some knowledge about aspects of the culture that I studied for years, just for the sake of getting knowledge without thinking that I would do this activity later on. By the way, I appreciate a lot the human factor, and besides having a responsibility I enjoy a lot just meeting and being with new people. In other words; I love this job, I love the culture I show, and I love human communication in itself. Let’s meet and spend time together so I can show you the best of this city, the cultural capital of Japan.

“A memorable visit to Nara & Kyoto for first timer Aussies!”
Thanks heaps Alex! We had a great time on our tour with Alex, who took us to visit the impressive areas of Nara and Kyoto. In Nara we visited nibbling Deer, and the beautiful Todai-ji Daibutsuden. After a yummy and filling lunch, we visited Fushimi-Inari and explored the bright pathways and cooled off in the forest. Alex was so patient and friendly with our boys, and taught them the correct ways to interact with the different areas of the temples and shrines, with fun surprises along the way too! We all had a great time learning about the sites visited, and about life in Kyoto, past and present. We highly recommend this tour with Alex, who helped make our first visit to Nara and Kyoto so memorable. Arigatō gozaimasu! The Ewens Family

“Un día inolvidable en Kyoto”
Hemos pasado un día inolvidable conociendo los mejores lugares de Tokio de una manera muy amena a la vez que magistral. Álex hace que el día sea mágico desde el primer momento y se ha convertido en uno más de la familia durante la visita y las siguientes que volvamos a Kyoto. Recomendable al 100%

“Kyoto Highlights and Hilltops”
Another great day with Alex. He really knows the city and when he made suggestions as to what to do and in what order, our time together simply flowed. I also really appreciated that when, in casual conversation, a site was mentioned, he immediately said, How about we try to go there? That flexibility along with his humor made for a memorable day in Kyoto.
