I am a Tour Guide

I have been hosting experiences and tours in Kyoto for many years in different languages (English, French, Spanish). I lived in more than 11 countries (among them: Australia, France, Cambodia, Peru, ..) and I love to meet people from all over the world and have meaningful exchanges. Kyoto is a city with an immense cultural heritage, with more than 1500 temples & 500 shrines, and I am ready to help you discover all the gems of this beautiful city I have the privilege to call home.

My reviews

    Nuestro guia Kokoro fue muy bueno. Habla muy bien español y nos permitió conocer muy buenos lugares en Kioto. Ademas nos dio tips para ir por nuestra cuenta al dia siguiente y fueron muy buenos. Recomiendo mucho los tours privados con este guia. Our guide Kokoro was excellent. She speaks Spanish very well and showed us some great places in Kyoto. She also gave us tips for exploring on our own the next day, and they were very helpful. I highly recommend private tours with this guide.

    Our guide made a point to keep the tour to our pace and modified it to fit our request and interest.

    We had a great day with Kokoro. He took us to the Golden Temple, as well as to several much quieter, very impress beautiful temples that we would not have known about. He went above and beyond telling us all about the history of Japan and answering all our questions. He navigated us seemlessly through the bus and subway system and gave us restaurant recommendations and many tips for getting around Kyoto. Generally he made our introduction to Kyoto very smooth and enjoyable. Kokoro speaks several languages and is very knowledgeable about the history of Kyoto and Japan in general. We were very impressed with his knowledge and his hospitality.

    Kokoro was an excellent guide. The day lived up to the promise of exclusive locations with some unique places undisturbed by other tourists. Which is remarkable for Kyoto.
