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.
