My name is Ahmed. I was born in Kuwait in 1982, then moved back to Palestine where I got my Medical Degree (MD) in 2008. When I recieved the Japanese government scholarship to proceed with my high education in Japan in 2015, I was very lucky to get accepted in one of the top universities in Japan, Kyoto University.
WIth time, I started to realize that being accepted in Kyoto University was not a privilege on my scientific career path only, but rather found myself surrounded by many historic ancient temples and shrines and such beautiful scenery all around, experiencing the culture and history of a city that used to be the capital for more than 1000 years!
Living in Kyoto was the trigger for to finally recognize where my passion is, and what I would like to be and how I want to live my coming years in Japan.
I enjoy traveling, and have been to so many countries in Europe and Asia before, so I made my mind and decided to work as a tour guide here in Japan in 2015 and proceeded with my career development. Since then, I have been working with great enthusiasm and success.
I am a culture, history and food fan, so I can introduce to you the best about the Japanese culture, a historical background about each place we visit and can recommend to you the best food options in Kyoto. I know well how to make your visit to Kyoto a lifelong experience. I will show you why I believe that Kyoto is the most beautiful city in Japan.
I am fluent in English and Arabic, flexible, open-minded and like having fun. I enjoy my work, like to share my knowledge and experiences and have the ability to communicate and deal with people from different cultures and backgrounds.
Moreover, I am able to customise tours specifically for customers, i.e. Day trip from Tokyo to Kyoto and back, as I live in Tokyo now.
Book with confidence. . . . . . Tour with confidence
Can not wait to show you Kyoto and around !

“My client had a great time with Ahmed.”
He was my client’s guide in Kyoto and showed them around Gion, Pontocho and Nishiki market areas. They enjoyed the tour very much and appreciated the tips for good restaurants and food from him. Thank you!

“Full day Kyoto experience ”
We had an amazing day in Kyoto and couldnt possibly fit in anymore. Temples castles street food and a fantastic lunch. Our guide Matheus was fantastic his knowledge was amazing. The only down side was we were a family of 4 so this tour was very expensive as we needed to pay for all entrance fees and transport on top of the price. We had done a tour in Nagoya 2 days previously and it was a quarter of the price.
