I always worked as a guide and it's an amazing job: we can meet people from all over the world to show them our beautiful country. I also consider the Japanese people as unique in terms of culture and society.

Albert C.

Belgium

I'm official guide of Flanders (training 2, 5 years) and official guide of the city of Bruges (training 2, 5 years). I have also done several seminars of Medieval art, Industrial history, mythology. . . But most of all, I'm passionate about the amazing cultural and historical heritage of the Belgian cities. And I'm also writer what gives extra thrilling to my stories and the way I explain them. Don't expect a boring tour with me. I love to entertain people with interesting facts, funny anecdotes, sense of humor and tasting experiences. Because food and drinks are basics in the Belgian culture. I speak English, Spanish, Dutch, Catalan and a little of French and Portuguees. Exclusive tours. I guide in the most beautiful Belgian cities: Brussels, Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Namur, Leuven, Mechelen, Ieper, Liege. Also in the city of Luxembourg.

My name is Rick, born and raised in the city of Ghent and your personal tour guide! It is my pleasure to take you on an adventure through the wonderfull world of Street Art and Graffiti, of which the city of Ghent has a lot to offer. With this tour we aim to open people's eyes to details that are missed by so many on a daily basis, but also to show larger wall paintings of art that reshape the city in a colourful way. Together we have a deeper look into the backstories of the artworks, the people who made them and how you yourself can get started.

Belgium

Hi there, and welcome to Belgium - the Heart of Europe! Over the past years, I have been guiding guests and showing them different Belgian cities like Brussels, Bruges, Antwerp, and Ghent. My tours are designed not only to see the main sights but also to experience how locals live, eat, and drink. I was once a tourist here, and so I always strive to show guests what Belgium is like in the eyes of a tourist and at the same time share with them what it means to live here as a local. I offer different kinds of tours depending on your wishes. From historical city walking tours to unique experiences such as beer-tasting, and chocolate-making workshops, and can even bring you to luxury shopping outlets too. Multiple-day city tours are also possible, where we can provide a car transfer as well. My off-the-beaten-path tours will certainly make your trip to Belgium an unforgettable one and will surely help you appreciate more why this small, compact country sandwiched to bigger countries like France, Germany, and the Netherlands is worth visiting too. See you soon!

A fun tour for families! Highly recommended

We are a family of travelling from Australia and did a 4 hour tour of Harajuku and Shibuya area with Dan. Dan is a great guide and was very thoughtful to ask about our children’s personalities and interests in advance so he could tailor our tour accordingly. We had a great time with Dan who was terrific with our kids and helped them learn some Japanese and introduced them to Japanese children’s games and treats. We really appreciated his knowledge and insights into Japan culture. I highly recommend Dan’s tour guide services! Thanks for a great tour Dan.

Fun night out

This was a fun tour but pretty pricy. Tim was an excellent guide very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the history of the different back alley ways. However the price quickly adds up as no food or beverages are included (we knew this and that we needed to pay for him as well). Tim orders for you so you don’t know the price until settling your bill. I would set a budget next time. It was our last night so we felt it was good fit.

Dear Laurel, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. It was such a pleasure spending the evening with you and Liam. His curiosity about Japan and all the great questions he asked made the tour enjoyable for me as well. Regarding the cost, I wanted to clarify that it was a private tour, and the visits to the two izakaya pubs and the bar were entirely optional. Based on our conversation, we chose places that matched your preferences, and the prices were transparent from the start. We all agreed on the orders, and I hope the authentic, non-touristy spots we visited provided a unique and local experience. If price had been a concern, I would have been happy to adjust the itinerary, perhaps with a stop for a casual bowl of ramen instead. My goal was always for you both to have a great experience, and I felt that you and Liam were enjoying the evening, the food, and the interactions with the locals. I value your feedback and will strive to make my tours an excellent experience for all guests. I would love to know if there’s anything else I could have done to improve your experience. Thank you again for choosing the tour. Best regards, Tim

Toledo: A Cultural Pearl of Spanish History

Laura is a 5 star guide for Toledo who clearly demonstrates a heartfelt enthusiasm for her native city. Her level of expertise is top notch and her command of English is excellent.

Great Tour!

I booked this for my parents who were visiting Tokyo. Nobu was responsive and told me everything I needed to know so I could relay the information to my parents. My parents said he was very knowledgeable about the sites they were at and enjoyed the experience. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone that is interested in experiencing Mt Fuji!

Nobu S.

Thank you very much for your review. I am glad to know that your parents enjoyed my tour. There are several good places in this area, but not so easy to go around in the limited time. Now we, guides, can drive a car during the tour,so we can visit those spots much easier than before. Thank you again for booking me for your parents. Nobu
