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

    Wonderful walking tour of Osaka. Our guide Alex was expert at getting us great photos so it looked like we were the only ones there! He was also very knowledgeable about the history of the area. Great time!

    Alex really enhanced our trip a great deal! Very knowledgeable about local history and culture. His perspective helped us understand the uniqueness of different regions of Japan. He was very helpful in navigating the area and the helped us buy travel items we needed such as stamps and sunglasses! We appreciated his insight in what it is like for locals living here in Japan instead of just seeing tourist sights! Really enjoyed going to a local supermarket to discuss what families ear and getting a flavor for daily life in Japan.
