Hi, I’m Georgina, your passionate host in the timeless city of Kyoto! I'm from Uganda but have been living here since 2015. This city feels like stepping into a living history book, and I love every moment of it - I just never want to leave. My favorite pastime is wandering through neighborhoods I haven’t yet explored, discovering the charm and beauty of each corner. I know Gion, Higashiyama, Kitayama, Arashiyama, and Fushimi like the back of my hand. As a Kyoto enthusiast, I can show you both the famous attractions and the hidden gems that most visitors miss. Let’s spend our days strolling through Kyoto’s enchanting streets, soaking in its rich culture and history. Come, let’s make unforgettable memories in this magical city!

Georgina surpassed our expectations with her knowledge of Kyoto and its history, especially describing the background, rituals, and stories related to the temples and shrines we visited. She tailored our tour to our interests and took us to an amazing lunch. Georgina is so friendly, fun, and genuine. We hope to stay in touch!

Georgiana is extremely friendly and knowledgable - I tiny small very small I wish that we had an authentic Japanese person to take us on the tour - or perhaps someone who can read Japanese - overall Georgiana was extremely helpful friendly and very professional and the trip was definitely well worth it

We were so fortunate to discover Kyoto for the first time by the hand of Georgina! Her knowledge, professionalism and disposition can only be surpassed by her charm, politeness and attentiveness to our specific needs. She truly crafted a tour catered to our interests and went out of her way to accommodate our requests. We appreciated that she spoke fluent English so nothing was lost in translation. We were able to navigate through the amazing maze of temples, streets, shrines, gardens and enjoy street food all in one day without ever feeling rushed. Only through her expertise we could have achieved this!
