Hey there! I'm Esteban, your friendly neighborhood host here in Kyoto. What I adore most about Kyoto is its unique blend of big-city energy and small-town charm. From the vibrant festivals that light up the streets to the tranquil moments by the river, there's always something magical happening here. One of my favorite pastimes is cruising past the river on my bicycle, soaking in the beauty that surrounds me. And with my deep knowledge of Kyoto's layout, navigating through the bustling streets or finding a cozy spot in Kiyomizu area or Gion is second nature to me. I thrive on exploring the hidden gems of this enchanting city, where the past meets the present in the most delightful ways. So whether you're here for the first time or the hundredth, let me be your host in this captivating city. I promise that every moment in Kyoto will be an adventure waiting to unfold!

    We had a fabulous time! The stress of not knowing and being time poor meant we were able to enjoy our short stay in Kyoto, his history general knowledge and food experiences were fabulous !
