Hello, I’m Jocelyn, a curious and adventurous local host who loves discovering the vibrant mix of tradition and modern life that makes Fukuoka so special. I’m constantly inspired by the city’s warmth, its welcoming people, and its breathtaking sunsets in every season. You’ll often find me exploring Ohori Koen’s charming bakeries, cozy restaurants, and art museum, or cycling along the beach near Imajuku with a good book in hand. I know Fukuoka’s neighborhoods like Ohori, Daimyo, and Imajuku inside and out, from Daimyo’s hip cafes and thrift shops to the hidden art bookstore in Yakuin with the most indulgent cheesecake beside it. I can’t wait to share my favorite local spots and help you experience Fukuoka’s creative and laid back charm like a true local.

Jocelyn was a very personable and easy going host. Due to my mobility issue, it was very helpful that she was able to adjust things on the fly to accommodate me; very appreciated. She was able to answer all of our questions and provide local insights. It was great to experience the city through someone who lives there. It was also great hearing her experience from another country and getting to know her on a more personal level.

We loved the day with Hans so much. We had no idea what Hong Kong had to offer or what to see, so we left it up to Hans to create a full day of sightseeing, history and discovery and he didn't disappoint. From hidden restaurants with authentic cuisine, to the best view of Hong Kong from the peak and everything in between, Hans delivered the best experience of Hong Kong someone could experience. We had so much fun, took lots of selfies and saw Flamingoes?? Something I didnt expect. Hans knowledge of Hong Kong is second to none and I cant recommend him enough.

Amy was a fantastic host. A slight glitch at the start as we didnt know exactly where we were in Kyoto station and therefore had trouble locating the meeting point, but once together, Amy customised a tour that included almost we wanted to see, only missing a couple of things due to time constrants. Amy had so much history knowledge to share and explained about temples and other sites with enthusiasm give us such a great learning experience about the traditions. Amy helped us to find our way to our Shinkansen when leaving Kyoto and we are very much looking forward to returning and completing the sites of Kyoto with her in the future.

Maria was an amazing guide. Her knowledge of the area and sights we visited was in depth and engaging. We had lots of fun along the way and Maria tailored a short guide through a major city to include all the major sites and some interesting facts. Highly recommend Maria, it was an amazing experience.
