    Maria was a spectacular local host providing us wonderful access to hidden local gems that we never would have found on our own. She tailored our days together (we loved her so much we ended up booking two extra days!) considerate of our American teenage boy’s preferences but also ours as experienced travelers.

    Sara, Jan 2026

    Maria was fantastic! She was so helpful even before we arrived, as far as some back and forth emails to tailor our itinerary. She was willing to adjust things even on the day, since I was having a lot of hip pain during our walk around the city. She knew some short cuts to take and places for me to rest. We saw so much and appreciated her friendliness and her knowledge of Osaka since she has been living there for over 30 years. Her English is excellent. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a local guide to show them the best of Osaka!

    Osaka is full of humor and different cultural vibes. Maria did a lovely job of bringing the spirit of osaka to life for us, showing us the history with the osaka castle and taking us to one of our favorite meals in japan eating like a local over chao chao!

    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.

We booked a 3 hour tour which was perfect for us and he brought us to Nene no Michi Maruyama park Chion in temple gate (pure land sect) Heian shrine gate Nanzenji temple Philosophers path The silver temple He is so knowledgeable and passionate about Kyoto’s fascinating history. He also connected so well with my two sons who are 23 years and 21 years old. After the tour, he sent us numerous recommendations for the rest of our Japan holidays.

    Milo was a great tour guide to a lovely city. I was actually here in Kyoto last year and saw many of the same sites but without a guide. I gained so much additional perspective by going again but actually learning about what I was looking at! For example, Milo pointed out several geisha houses I'd have never noticed, and explained the cultural significance of the practice. Despite the rain, Milo picked us up from our hotel and walked us through several historical sites, shrines, and temples. He was very knowledgable about the history of the city and its culture. We'd all recommend.

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.

    “Claudio Natale is the person who followed us throughout this morning's tour in Bologna. We really appreciated the punctuality, the knowledge, the enthusiasm in involving us and the completeness of everything; he answered all our questions, guided us on lesser-known and very characteristic streets, gave us advice of all kinds, taking care of everything, even after the tour ended. Very nice person and generously helpful and attentive. It made this tour of Bologna very interesting. Thank you!”

    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.

    This was our very first trip to Hong Kong and the tour with our guide Alfred made our trip spectacular. We can’t say enough good things about Alfred, he was so knowledgable in both the history of Hong Kong and this city itself. We asked Alfred to plan our itinerary for us and it was beyond our expectations. We saw more of the city than we could have ever imagined in one day. Alfred helped us with Restaurant recommendations along with any other inquiries we had. We’ve been on many tours when traveling, however nothing would compare to the experience we had with Alfred. By the end of our tour, we honestly felt like family and were sad to say goodbye. Highly recommend this tour and if you have Alfred as your guide you are will be very fortunate!!!

    I was born and raised in Fukuoka Japan, and have been working in Tokyo for the past 3 years.

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!
