Coming from France, I now live in Kyoto. I Speak English, Japanese and French.

Fond of Kyoto, I crossed it in all directions with my bike and climbed most hills and mountains, searching for small forest paths and abandoned temples.
I tried as many ramen restaurants possible and became quite an expert on the matter. Let me recommend some to you :)

I met Guillaume at the silver Pavilion and we had a short hike up to the hills and back to a walk in the city. Guillaume knowledge is very impressive and he knows how to adjust the tour to his audience. It was very friendly and interesting tour. I recommend anyone traveling in Kyoto for the first time to meet Guillaume and take his guided tour and really learn about the places you see in a easy and friendly experience. Take care.

My husband and I met Guillaume in Kyoto in Gion by the Shijo temple. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the city and also the history and culture. He told us stories and history about the temples we visited. The path we took was very effecient and we managed to see a great deal of things in the 3 hours we had with him. I would recommend Guillaume to any one visiting Kyoto, especially those interested in hearing more about what you visit. Also he recommended the best ramen bar so we checked it out, it was easily the best we've ever had. Thanks Guillaume!

We met up with Guillaume and he took us around Gion district and through the side streets Brought us to a Okonomiyaki place that only locals know of and it was very tasty. HE also gave us alot of tips and pointers of places to go around Kyoto, which was very helpful. Overall it was a pleasant enough experience. One thing that is not mentioned in the Post is that he charges 15/pp per HOUR. On Meetrip it doesn't say that so when you pay you only pay the per person rate. Originally we agreed on 3 hours while we were emailing back and forth, but when we met up with him he told us it was the hourly rate, so we had to cut the time down to 2 hours because I didn't have any more money on hand.

My wife and I had a 6 hours tour with Guillaume, through the eastern part of Kyoto. We visited many lovely places (in particular a zen garden, the Ginkakuji temple, the philosopher's walk, the Gion area). Guillaume knows the town and its history very well. So he was able to give us explanations about each momument, which made the tour very interesting. Although young, Guillaume does speak Japanese and has a lot of experience in guiding tourists. This day in Kyoto was a great moment for us. Jean-Christophe August 6th, 2014

It was perfect. I'm always fascinated about the lives of expats. He is FRENCH married to a local. He knows the area pretty well and history. Did what I felt was non-guidebook stuff like this odd small east-west train winding through people's backyards! Recommend the trip. He left us near Gion so I could hunt a Geisha and I saw two!!! Next time I'd rather stay with him than my hotel in Gion.
