I’ve lived in Kyoto for 9 years

I am a Tour Guide/Travel Curator/University Staff
Hi! My name is Ada, I specialized in Japanese culture & came in 2013 to finish my studies, but I fell in love with the country so much that I decided to prolong my stay indefinitely. I just want to share my passion & the beauty that I see, and give back to society what it was given to me when I first arrived. I always wanted to become a tour guide, so I studied tourism in Spain. I have been working in the tourism industry till covid times arrived, when I shift to Kyoto University where I have been assisting international students and in my spare time organizing activities and trips for them to immerse in the culture. Let's make great memories!
Ada was an excellent guide and very understanding of what we were looking for and sharing small bits of information and hostory that we wiuld have missed entirely had it not been for her. Best decision was getting a guide, luckiest was having that guide be Ada.

She was also very knowledgeable about Kyoto history and Japanese culture. In addition, she seemed to be patient and polite.

Ada was very knowledgeable on many aspects of Kyoto. She showed us some of the most popular sites and also took us to some beautiful places that were not as crowded. I would highly recommend this tour for lots of information about Kyoto

Great day out with Ada our tour guide. We are a family of 3, with an 8y old child. Ada took us around Kyoto and showed us some really nice places, temples, shrines, locations all with lot of history behind it which Ada explained very well, highlighting her knowledge about Japanese cultures and customs. Very accommodating for last minute changes and enjoyed a real local Japanese resto for lunch. Can highly recommend!!
