Peru

Hola! My name is Michael, but my friends call me Mike, so please do call me that too. I am a licensed tour guide in Peru with a degree in tourism and archaeology and a lot of passion for my culture and my country that I love sharing. This is why I love so much to be a guide and I am looking forward to welcoming you to my beautiful country to learn more about its incredible history and nature. With me, you are ensured to get a quality, authentic experience of the real Peru through the eyes of locals. I was fortunate to be born and raised in Cusco, the ancient capital of the Incas. I have been working in tourism there for over 20 years, and during that time I have also hiked the Inca Trail professionally over 500 times! The Andes mountains are my home. I like meeting people from different parts of the world. I have traveled myself mostly all over South America but not much beyond. The tourists I am lucky enough to meet and assist also give me much back in terms of learning about other cultures and perspectives. Since the start of this year I've been offering virtual tours in Cusco as well as Machu Picchu using a gimbal giving you the option to learn more about these magnificent places from the comfort of your couch. I like to share a lot of knowledge with virtual travelers to bring Cusco and Machu Picchu to life, but I also try to be as interactive as possible so that you feel like you're walking in these locations with me. Hope to meet you soon!

Ein wundersch?ner und interssanter Tag in Tokio mit Yokiko, unserer deutschsprachigen Stadtf?hrerin.

Wir verbringen sechs Nächte in Tokio und klammern alle Ziele aus, die uns Yokiko angekündigt hat. Das war ein guter Plan, denn unsere liebe Yokiko bringt uns zu vielen interessanten Orten. Natürlich zuerst der Meiji-Schrein, das zentrale Heiligtum des Shintoismus mitten in Tokio. Dann ein großer Park mit vielen japanischen Gartenanlagen. Wir lernen viel über die Konzepte der japanischen Gärten: niemals gerade Linien, nachgebildete Landschaften wie Meere, Küste, Land und Berge, Steinlaternen und Brücken. Wir besuchen den Kaiserpalast mit den Ruinen aus der letzten Feuer-Katastrophe Tokios. Wir besuchen eine lebendige Einkaufsmeile mit Streetfood und sehr vielen kleinen Geschäfte... wir entdecken das wahre Tokio der Einwohner... Dann geht es zu dem ältesten Shinto-Schrein Tokios, dem Asakusa-Schrein mit seinem quirligen Einkauf-Vorplatz, der ältesten Shoppingmeile Tokios von 1649. Yokiko glänzt mit ihrem Wissen über Japan, die Stadt Tokio und den historischen Informationen über die Kaiserzeiten, dem aktuellen Tenno und weiß auf alle unsere Fragen schnell und präzise Antworten. Sie ist mit entsprechenen Unterlagen sehr gut vorbereitet und es machte einfach Spaß sie als Tokio-Guide neun kurzweilige Stunden zu erleben. Trotz Metro-Fahrten waren unsere Füße aber schon ein wenig platt gelaufen. Vielen Dank Yokiko und viele Grüße aus Deutschland

Lieber Juergen, danke schoen fuer Ihren netten Kommentar. Ich bin sehr froh, dass Sie viele guten Erinnerungen in Tokio gemacht haben. Yukiko

Aboshi and Tatsuno tour

Noboru-san was a fantastic guide! He arranged our tour of my grandmother’s town of Aboshi, took us around the major sites, and also fit in a tour of Tatsuno castle, samurai residence, and soy sauce museum. I would love to arrange a tour with him again when we return to Himeji one day!

Best of Okinawa with Tateo!

Tateo was the best part of our visit to Okinawa! My sister, daughter and I enjoyed our tour so much, we talked about it all night and still do with the rest of our families. We had so many questions, and thanks to Tateo he shared his knowledge and helped us better understand its history and culture. Tateo made us feel like family. My mother was Okinawan. But unfortunately she never had the opportunity to visit and that saddens us. So in her place we had the urge to visit and educate ourselves about our ancestry. Okinawa was charming and we enjoyed our visit immensely. Thank you Tateo for being so kind and for a wonderful day! Sincerely, Doretta, Pam and Shelby

Tateo U.

Hi, D0retta B. Your e-mail and picture you sent brought me June 20th to mind again. Althought it was only one day, it was a day that a deep impression on each of you. If you have a alter at home show photos to your mother, she will be happy. While I was a guide, it felt like I was traveling with people close to me rather than Americans. Please use this trip as inspiration and do your best in the future. Come and see Okinawa again. Thank you for writing great review at the end. Best regards Tateo U.
