I am Tour Guide
Hi there! 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
Our guide Alex was great! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very enthusiastic about the history and wonders of Kyoto. Our private tour through very “off the beaten track” Gion was amazing. He educated us on everything from Shinto and Buddhist rituals, to Japanese architecture, and to the arts and culture of this historical city. I highly recommend this private tour for a unique, and personalized experience.

Alex is a great guide, very personable, easy to be around. He listened to what we wanted to see/do and delivered. He was also very helpful in explaining how to get around the city on our own & what other stuff we should do.
