    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 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.

    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 really enjoyed all the sights around Harajuku and Asakusa! It was a wonderful blend of modern and traditional. Ayaka was a great guide who supplied us with tons of information, and also offered to help us take pictures and gave great suggestions.

    Excellent communication throughout starting from prior to tour and throughout. Tour was very unrushed. Kenya made sure we were able to experience what we had requested prior to the tour.

    The tour was awesome! Kenya, our guide through the streets of Kyoto, was extremely knowledgeable. He showed us temples, shrines, traditional homes etc., explaining the history of each site. He also managed to answer random questions we asked along the way! It is a small group so it was just 3 of us and Kenya. Highly recommend.

    We had an amazing time exploring Istanbul with Öztürk. Right from the start, he was warm, friendly, and clearly passionate about his city. He began the tour by showing us a brief history of Türkiye on his iPad, which helped us understand what we’d be seeing throughout the day. He didn’t just guide us—he truly took care of us. Whether it was helping us plan the day’s route or negotiating great prices at the Grand Bazaar, Spice Market, or even Hafiz Mustafa, Öztürk was on top of it. He seemed to know everyone! We started calling him “the mayor of Istanbul” because of how connected and respected he was. The highlight for me was our time at Topkapı Palace. The way he explained the palace’s history, especially the Islamic and Ottoman parts, made it feel like he had lived there himself. He brought the stories to life in a way that was both educational and enjoyable. If you want a guide who is knowledgeable, kind, and makes you feel like you’re exploring the city with a friend, I would 100% recommend Öztürk. This tour was a highlight of our trip.

    Reza was an amazing guide.... easy going, friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable. He tried very hard to accommodate our various requests (via WhatsApp starting several weeks before the tour) for our customized day trip from Milan to Lake Como. We managed to see Varenna, Bellagio, and Como City all in one day. We never had to wait in queue for the ferry because Reza took care of that for us. He also pointed out great views-restaurants-gelato-shops, shared great insights, and was funny. We would highly recommend City Unscripted and ask for Reza.

    Serena, acknowledging that we are Greek, gave us a lot of information on Greek settlements and influences that we knew little about. It felt very personalised, we were given tips and recommendations we would have otherwise not known about, and she was overall amazingly helpful and friendly.
