Konnichiwa! I am Gulay, a professional guide with a deep love for photography, art, and discovering the hidden spirit of Tokyo beyond the typical tourist experience. I have been working as a professional guide since 2008, and have received my training at the Department of Tourism Guidance. I moved to Spain for one year (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) and worked as a volunteer and mentor in EVS organizations(European Voluntary Service) But then my interest in Japanese culture led me to my current carrier in Tokyo for 8 years. Guiding is my passion, I believe guiding guests that you never met before from totally different countries is a great chance to know people better to improve your skills. As your guide, I will be pleased to share my experience of guiding with you and will do my best to make your holiday a memorable one. I am here to explain the local culture and traditions and give guests other local insights and I will help you to experience the "WOW" factor :) I also deeply love photography and art, which strongly influences the way I explore Tokyo. I am always searching for beautiful light, hidden details, atmosphere, architecture, everyday moments, and places that emotionally capture the city's spirit. Whether it’s quiet backstreets, modern design, nostalgic neighborhoods, cafés, local life, or contemporary art spaces, I love helping guests experience Tokyo in a more visual and emotional way. And if you want, I am happy to customize your itinerary according to your requests, I can help design your experience based on your interests, such as food, fashion, history, art, pop culture in Japan, or something specific. I would love to show you my favorite things about the greatest city in the world! I look forward to exploring Tokyo together with you and sharing my favorite sides of this incredible city!

Our guide, Gulay G., was an Ellen. She was happy to customize our tour before we began and even along the way. She was pleasant, well informed and accommodating. We booked a second day with her!
Gulay was incredible! This was our groups first time to Japan. We met on the first full day of our trip, and I could not have asked for anyone better to kick us off right. She reached out to me before our tour to learn what activities we would like her to consider to customize our half day tour. We met her at our hotel but used the first train ride to the Ueno Park...

My wife and I have been on many tours around the world I have to say the tour with Gulay was one of the best. She is so personable and knowledgeable it felt like we had a friend taming us on a personal tour. She catered the the trip to what we wanted to see. She even went as far went as far as to make a reservation for us at a restaurant the next night and gave us...
