Hey there! I'm Nadine, your friendly local host in Kyoto. I love exploring Kyoto on foot or cycling through its enchanting backstreets. That's how I stumble on hidden gems like temples, shrines, and breathtaking natural wonders. Of course, I can't forget about the Japanese cuisine! Indulging in delectable bento boxes and enjoying local drinks while sitting by the picturesque Kamogawa River is pure bliss. I know Kyoto like the back of my hand, especially the areas surrounding the Imperial Palace, Gion, and Kiyomizu, and the lively Kawaramachi neighborhood. My knowledge of Kyoto's historical and traditional places is just the cherry on top. Whether immersing yourself in serene nature or exploring the city's hidden corners, I'll ensure you have a fantastic experience. Looking forward to meeting you and embarking on this incredible journey together!

This was the PERFECT way to see Kyoto! The tour far exceeded my expectations! Nadine was the best guide ever and worked hard to make sure I had a memorable experience and got to see everything from shrines to cool street food and shops. I 100% recommend this experience, especially with Nadine!

We had such a wonderful experience with City Unscripted in Kyoto. Our guide was Nadine, who made our trip to Kyoto something special and gave a wonderful tour which was really personalized to us. It was like visiting a friend in the city who showed the coolest spots. Highly recommended!

Nadine was awesome! She went above and beyond to give us such a great and welcoming experience on our tour of Kyoto. We saw a ton of things, got a lot of great information along the way, and got to experience a lot of food (which was of particular interest to us). Nadine was incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and helpful, and really made the experience so special.
