    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.

    Mirasol was an incredible host. I planned the trip and the experience because of the true customizable manor of the day. I'd booked it as a "private tour" but had a photographer and her assistant join as well as I'd planned to propose to my now fiance on the trajinera ride! Mirasol not only went above and beyond to make sure we were all in the right place at the right time but actually herself got us a mariachi to help us celebrate the moment on the trajinera after. It truly couldn't have been a more special day and when my photographer friend and her assistant had to leave she then took my fiance and I around the rest of the Xochimilco area teaching us the history, trying street food, helping us shop at the market. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

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.

Naveen suggested we take the train and we are so glad we did! He gave us explicit instructions and it was great taking public transportation in Munich! Our tour included many stops where Naveen would explain the history and events that took place in those locations. We were interested in buying a German Nutcracker and he took us to a little shop that sold authentic nutcrackers! He also took us to two Christmas markets. We visited the Hofbrau House and enjoyed a German beer and pretzel! It was a fantastic afternoon! Thank you Naveen and aviator!

    My experience with City Unscripted was wonderful. After I made my reservation, they sent me a questionnaire with questions to help understand what I am interested in seeing in Munich. City Unscripted assigned me a guide who contacted me via What’s App to introduce himself. In June, 6 months before our tour, the guide, Naveen, asked if we had any special requests. We kept in contact and exchanged a few texts until our scheduled tour in December 2025, When I had questions about logistics and details about the tour, I messaged City Unscripted . Ryan would answer promptly. Naveen is a stellar guide. He is flexible and accommodating . He has an excellent sense of people. He read and understood our needs. He knew immediately that one member of our group had a difficult time walking so he checked up on this person frequently. I give Naveen and Ryan of City Unscripted high marks.

    Claudio was fantastic we had such a great time with him!! He knew a lot of cool facts about the city that we had no idea about! We saw him on our first day in the city so it was very helpful to have him show us some of things worth visiting during the rest of our time in Bologna and give us great tips on how to get the most out of the activity!

    Claudio was an excellent tour guide. He was able to show us the highlights of bologna and set my wife for further exploration after the tour. To top off an excellent tour Claudio helped us set an unbelievable lunch reservation which is hard to get on a Saturday. Thanks again claudio!

    We were very fortunate to have Claudio as our guide. He listened to what we wanted and planned the perfect walking tour, blending history, culture and contemporary lifestyle and giving us great recommendations for coffee, gelato and restaurants. Claudio is highly informed and clearly loves Bologna. The hours we spent with him were an ideal introduction to the city and helped us to feel oriented for the rest of our stay. The day after our tour I texted Claudio to say I had lost my scarf at dinner the previous evening and he immediately phoned the restaurant for me. All three of us would highly recommend a walking tour with Claudio.

    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!

    Ayaka was amazing! She was so kind, friendly and welcoming. My son doesn’t usually feel comfortable around strangers but loved Aya. She took us everywhere we wanted and adjusted as we needed with my son. Aya was very knowledgeable about culture and random facts - I can’t rate her high enough, she truly made our experience fantastic and memorable as a family.

    Fast paced tour covers a lot of ground…in a good way. A great mix of food, culture, history and a real variety of experiences ranging from a wonderful museum to a flower market, sound and light harbor display, bird market, various street food stalls and finally a sit down meal in a local restaurant which few tourists would ever know about. Alfred was extremely knowledgeable, energetic and friendly. Highly recommended!!

    Very informative. Alfred took us to see things we would never have seen if we were on our own. He helped us navigate the train system and get our octopus card. He accommodated our requests. Met us at hotel and made sure we got back safely.

    Our guide Alfred contacted us early and helped with suggestions on what to see on our visit. He took us to all the spots by a combination of walking, uber and subway. He was very knowledgeable about the history and was great about taking many photos of us. It was a good tour.

    Our tour with Amy last night was great. We got to see so much in the 3 hour period and learned a lot about the history of the shrines and temples. We enjoyed all the areas we toured and loved being able to grab snacks along the way. One highlight was the Yasaka shrine because it was so beautiful with the lights at night and it still had beautiful maple trees around. Overall, Amy did a really good personalizing the tour for our interests and showing us around Kyoto

    Robert met us this morning as planned at Statute Square, from the initial whatsapp messages a day before, offering advice and suggestions, we knew we were on to a good thing. We weren’t wrong. Robert picked some attractions and sights for us to see after a few short minutes chatting, his knowledge of Hong Kong is exceptional, being a Dutch national with exceptional English and as we learnt, Cantonese, German and Dutch he is the perfect tour guide of HK. I guess living here and offering tours for more than 40 years helps!! What a fount of knowledge. His understanding of Hong Kong and its history is unsurpassed, the descriptions given were articulate, concise where required and lengthy when needed. We visited temples, the Peak, the slow rollercoaster (Funicular) local bars, restaurants, subway, train, tram and even a bus and shown all the historical sights anyone could want with exceptional explanations. He even knew the names of the artists who painted the walls in and around the older parts of town. All we can offer is a huge thank you to Robert and advise any and all to take this unscripted tour of Hong Kong. It’s worth every penny (which isn’t too much to start with). We will see you again. Thanks Robert. Ian and Rob (from Ireland & England).
