About Tour Guide Ahmed A.

Hello! I’m Ahmed, a passionate tour guide based in Kyoto, Japan. Originally from Kuwait, I moved back to Palestine where I earned my Medical Degree (MD) in 2008. In 2015, I was fortunate to receive a Japanese government scholarship to pursue further studies at Kyoto University, one of Japan’s top institutions.


Living in Kyoto opened my eyes to the rich history and stunning scenery of this ancient city, which served as Japan’s capital for over a thousand years. It ignited my passion for culture, history, and food, leading me to embark on a rewarding career as a tour guide.


I have traveled extensively across Europe and Asia, and I love sharing my knowledge of Japanese culture with others. I can provide historical insights at every stop, recommend the best local cuisine, and create personalized itineraries, including day trips from Tokyo to Kyoto.


I’m fluent in English and Arabic, and I thrive on connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. Whether you’re interested in exploring temples, experiencing traditional cuisine, or simply enjoying the beauty of Kyoto, I’m here to make your visit unforgettable.


Your safety and comfort are my top priorities. I measure my temperature before our tours and am happy to wear a mask if it makes you feel more comfortable. While I'm not a driver, I will accompany you in your vehicle or arrange for a separate car and driver if needed.


Book with confidence and get ready to explore Kyoto with me! I can’t wait to show you why I believe this city is the most beautiful in Japan.


Ahmed, MD, PhD, MBA

Poor communication

We cannot really say much about Ahmed as a guide because he sent us someone else. As for Ahmed as a tour operator, we are very disappointed with his services. Because the information given by him by private message was not very clear, we almost ended up booking a tour that was 3 times as expensive as a similar tour offered by other operators. In the end, we figured out that he asked more than 1,000 euros for a day tour by private car in Kyoto. After that he sent us a booking link to another tour that was still different to what we requested. When we realized that he sent us a link for the wrong tour, it was already too late to cancel. Our guide Kazz was great. He was helpful, friendly and very flexible with spontaneous requests. On top of that he took a lot of pictures of us that he sent us via Google Drive the same day. We highly recommend him as a guide.

Fantastic tour of Kyoto

This was our first visit to Kyoto. We were able in the time given to experience a number of great attractions. The city if full of amazing historical places. We enjoyed the Nishiki market and food. The bamboo forest of Arishayama was amazing splendor. Our guide Ahmed was excellent in his knowledge and guidance. It was great to have arabic speaking guide that made the tour more enjoyable. The coordination for the trip was extremely smooth even though it was a late request. Thank you Ahmed and Go with guide.

2 half days in Kyoto

He is nice. knows his stuff. Did not share much, does not make conversation so it was a slightly awkward 2 half days. Ewe spent time on buses. - not good when we have limited time, one place had queues so long we abandoned it and then went everywhere by taxi - which added to the cost. It was very poor value for the money. if we had 2 full days - maybe better - but would never recommend this approach again.
