Soy Ben. Me mudé a Kioto hace ocho años después de casarme con mi esposa, que es de aquí, y con el tiempo esta ciudad se convirtió en mi hogar. He trabajado como guía durante los últimos años, dirigiendo paseos históricos, tours gastronómicos y experiencias culturales por todo Kioto. Si tienes curiosidad sobre la cultura de las geishas (geiko), el kimono, la ceremonia del té o simplemente quieres saber adónde van los lugareños, estaré encantado de orientarte. No dudes en contactarme cuando quieras. Estoy aquí para ayudarte a disfrutar de Kioto de la forma más auténtica posible.
Ben is professional, knowledgable and personable. Super enjoyable tour. Ben will give you all of the tips for Kyoto and ensure you enjoy your holiday! Cheers Ben
Benjamin was a fantastic guide. We were pleasantly suprised by how much we loved this tour.
Good guide, he knows the way to avoid too much people he knows very well the area and the tour was different in some ways, enough information, not too much, that is good because later you only remember or only need a few information
We thoroughly enjoyed our morning tour with Ben. He lives in the area, he shared not just information about the area, history, culture…, but we also talked about daily life and many many other things. As it was a low season, we were the only two visitors and Ben did the tour just for us, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend this tour - it was not crowded in the morning and Ben can easily adjust to one’s interests. He is an experienced guide. Many thanks, Ben, for this super nice walk!
Hi Free Walkers, If you want to do a guru free walking tour in Kyoto, I can warmly recommend you to choose the one guided by Benjamin. Why you might wonder? Well, because it was good :) But what is good? It is hard to define good since it's very personal how one experiences something as good and many factors in which we have no control can colour these experiences. I can only tell you that the experience I had, this cold and rainy, early December morning was good. And it was mostly because of him as a person and his presentation, trust me. Before the start he contacts you so you know that what you're about to attend is a sure thing. He gives you a warm and friendly welcome with a big smile. Personally, I'm not easily impressed, but he had my attention pretty quick and ongoing and that's a good thing. He knows the story and the history, he tells it in a good spontaneous way, he is open for debate and parole and drinks his coffee latte & cold. Truly, he is a nice warm guy and does a great job as a guide, it has to be told.
