Hey there! I'm Afifa, your go-to local host in enchanting Kyoto. I love to immerse myself in the city's vibrant culture, attending iconic festivals like Aoi Matsuri, Gion Matsuri, and Jidai Matsuri. This city is an adventurer wonderland, with many cultural and natural wonders, as well as diverse shopping districts. Exploring Kyoto is my passion, especially when it involves vintage gems. From the charming Kawaramachi Sanjo to the historic Higashiyama, I know the ins and outs of Kyoto's neighborhoods. I'm a foodie, constantly enjoying the variety of local noodle shops and bakeries. Being a Kyoto guru, I've got the inside scoop on vintage kimono markets and flea markets. So, whether you're a culture buff or a foodie explorer, join me in unlocking the excitement of Kyoto. Let's make your Kyoto experience unforgettable!

My reviews

Afifa went above and beyond throughout our entire trip. She was very sweet, accommodating and knows a lot of history about Kyoto. We enjoyed our entire time with her immensely. Our 6 hour tour finished with a blink of an eye and we would of have loved to spend a few more hours with her.

Afifa was in direct email contact with us initially, a few weeks prior to our tour with a lot of details and options for the trip. She kept in touch up to the last few minutes of the start of the tour, via WhatsApp. She asked us about our preferences, and was flexible in adjusting the tour locations and timings based on that. She has a very pleasant personality and a cheerful disposition. She went out of her way to help us navigate to different locations even after the end of the tour. She is the most organized guide among all the guides we have worked with this far! We highly recommend her to any English speaking tourist!
