    We had an amazing experience with Maria. She was so knowledgeable and nice, and really catered the tour to our interests. She even stayed with us longer than the amount of time we booked the tour for. I have nothing bad to say, she was great!!! She took us to local spots that we would have never found.

    Hi there!

    Discover more about me

    I’m Alex Before ending up in Japan, many years back, I had a nomad life across several Asian countries for many years as well. I spent most of that time in India, where among other activities I had my first experiences as a tour guide. There I also met my wife, and when the relationship got more serious we decided to settle down and have a more stable life, we chose Japan where she is from. Since then I had many personal experiences in this country in different fields such as human relations, jobs in different sectors, trips, bizarre situations, etc, experiences that I always like to share, together with some knowledge about aspects of the culture that I studied for years, just for the sake of getting knowledge without thinking that I would do this activity later on. By the way, I appreciate a lot the human factor, and besides having a responsibility I enjoy a lot just meeting and being with new people. In other words; I love this job, I love the culture I show, and I love human communication in itself. Let’s meet and spend time together so I can show you the best of this city, the cultural capital of Japan

    Here’s how I can help make your experience unique.

    Milo was an incredible guide! He was one of the all time best we have ever had. His walking tour of Kyoto hit so many highlights. He was very considerate about asking if we wanted to take breaks. He did a great job of combining the history and important sites we needed to see but mixing in fun, coffee, shops, and unique places to try street food that was specific to the area. All of his recommendations were spot on! His English is perfect and he is incredibly knowledgeable. To make matters even more impressive, due to no fault of his own, we completely messed up our arrival and showed up two hours late and he still gave us the entire full tour which he certainly did not have to do. If you have Milo as your guide you are very lucky!!!

    Milo is a good, interesting guide who will not let you get bored during the excursion. My son was in Kyoto for the first time and for this acquaintance with the city was very informative. The most important thing in the heat of 40 degrees Milo took us to places where you can also take a break, drink local soft drinks and have a good and tasty lunch. We were not bored. If you need a bright guide with a good sense of humor and who knows the history of the city well, then I can definitely recommend Milo.

The day was extremely hot and Milo was very considerate of how we were feeling throughout the Kyoto summer heat and provided us enough locations for much needed breaks.

We learned a lot, saw so much in the 4 hour tour and would recommend him. Note - some things you can do on your own, so use the tour wisely as it was private.

    I was born and raised in Fukuoka Japan, and have been working in Tokyo for the past 3 years. One of my greatest joys in Tokyo is strolling through its historical sites, such as Asakusa, Kaminarimon, Higashi Hongan-ji and Meiji Jingu Temple. Imbibing the rich heritage of shrines and temples fills me with a sense of wonder and appreciation. Furthermore, as an avid fan of Anime, particularly ONE PIECE, I find myself well-versed in the vibrant world of Akihabara. This energetic district resonates with my enthusiasm for the art form. I love exploring the city for great food at affordable prices, I like Street restaurant food, Sushi, Ramen, Tempura, Soba, Yakiniku, Matcha, and Sakura sweets, etc. When I have time, I enjoy immersing myself in Japanese cultural events like Kabuki and Sumo matches. I'm excited to share hidden local food and city landmarks with you, and I can't wait to embark on this journey together!

    Enjoyed shopping for lunch at the food hall. Aya explained what all the food items were. We really enjoyed our picnic - all the different dishes were amazing. Aya was happy to take photos for us at all the different spots that we visited. Aya is definitely a people person and is the right person for the job.

    Aya was very knowledgeable, and has the perfect personality for a tour guide. She happily took photos of us at all the stops. We absolutely loved being taken to the food hall to choose our lunch, quite an experience. Aya explained what all the dishes were and each dish was delicious when we later had our picnic. I couldn’t praise Aya and this tour any higher. The highlight of our trip. Thank you so much Aya.

    We wanted an overview of NYC to get our bearings since we'd never been here before. Ross was prompt, polite, and informative. A great way to start our trip. He got us comfortable on the subway and took us all over, and saw what we were wanting. I highly recommend Ross and this endeavor.
