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, incluso los tambores japoneses... 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.
I was pleasantly surprised by the knowledge that Ben has for the history and culture as well as the route that he took us on. In some areas, it was crowded by large groups of tourists but Ben managed to avoid the sea of people in the bamboo forest.
Benjamin was already waiting for us when we arrived shortly before the start time. He spoke fantastic English and gave us a lot of local insights. We explored all the sites listed on the itinerary without a big crowd. He was always patient with our questions and offered to take photos at the best spots. Highly recommended!
Benjamin is GREAT !! You will be lucky to get him as your guide, whether you are 10 in your group or just 1 or 2. He's extremely knowledgeable about Kyoto, and it's history, surroundings and culture. He is extra nice, with a funny sense of humor, a bunch of fun on the tour, with a ton of energy, but perfect pacing. You're a miserable, half-dead zombie if you don't enjoy him :)
I had the best time with Ben the Tour Guide! Our group met early in the morning and he showed us around the Arashima bamboo forest, history, poetry, pottery and quiet nature and neighbourhoods. In addition, he was our personal photographer and told us many stories with a peronal touch. He was especially extremely kind to me when I needed a bit of help to sort out my travels. I recommend Ben to anyone passing through Kyoto!
Ben was so nice! It was just me and him but I had a great time as he was taking me around. He also was my personal photographer for the time which was great lol. He was also very generous like holding my bag and paying for certain things. He also took me to some spots that weren’t as touristy which was super nice to experience to escape the crowd. Great experience overall!
