Gion tours

Easily accessible meeting point (tourist bus parking in front of Kyoto Station - Shinkansen side/Avanti shopping center), precise, efficient and very kind guide, splendid itinerary to visit the main attractions of Kyoto with organization but also a certain flexibility. I highly recommend it.

Was a great tour albeit it being slightly short to my liking. Alex is a great guide. His friendly, speaks good English and very knowledgeable on the history of the locations we visited, as well as the culture in Kyoto. What I liked most is he keeps the group warm and inclusive by getting to know them. Would recommend this tour if you are interested to understand the history and culture of Kyoto better which is something you can’t learn yourself by just visiting the places.

This tour efficiently allowed me to experience Japan's most representative attractions in one day, with an itinerary that included Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine, Nara Park, and Todai-ji Temple. At Kiyomizu-dera Temple, the view overlooking Kyoto and the magnificence of the wooden architecture were impressive. At Fushimi Inari Shrine, walking along the endless path of torii gates allowed me to feel Japan's unique and mystical atmosphere. In Nara Park, the scenery of naturally blending with the deer was memorable, and the Great Buddha of Todai-ji Temple was overwhelming in scale and presence when I actually saw it. The tour guide, Songran Lee, provided very natural Korean explanations that were easy to understand, and she highlighted the key points of each location, allowing me to learn a lot in a short amount of time. In particular, the restaurant information she recommended during transit was practical and detailed, which was a great help during the trip. Overall schedule management, guidance, customer service, and other basic qualities as a guide were well-equipped, allowing me to enjoy the tour comfortably and with confidence! Overall, it was a stable and satisfactory tour, and I would especially recommend it to those visiting Kyoto and Nara for the first time!

It was a beautiful night walk with small group of 6 people and our lovely guid Mao. Mao is really friendly and has good knowledge about the history, story of people and places in Kyoto . The tour was really enjoyable it made me forgot the time . We walk for 2 hours with fun and also respect the places we visit. I love the atmosphere of Kyoto at night it really romantic and beautiful. Recommend everyone to buy this tour it will make your trip in Kyoto more memorable .

A super tour, with a good mix of culture and street food/market. Austen was a great guide who speaks excellent English, guided us competently, and helped us with shopping. It was a great introduction to/in Kyoto that we never could have achieved on our own with just "onboard resources".

José is a great guide, we booked the tour as our first activity in Kyoto, and Jose gave us spot-on recommendations that allowed us to avoid large crowds while still getting a good feel for both Kyoto's nightlife and cultural significance. We asked for a fast-faced tour and he had us covered so much ground. 10 out of 10 recommend.

Oulan was our guide. He is amazing with great knowledge, stories and much more. He make our tour a success with each step we make. He brings to our day amazing thoughts with his knowledge. Ask for he when you request the night tours.

Taiga was our tour guide. He took all 8 of us through the trains and recommended the bullet train from Kobe port to Kyoto. He was wonderful, knowledgeable and spoke great English. He was in tune with our family and took the time to teach our kids and us about Japanese culture. while at the shrine he used it as a teaching opportunity to teach our kids about Zen and how one must be flexible in body and mind. I loved that he took time to get to know us. We even had a great at the revolving sushi bar. Kyoto was beautiful and he helped take photos of our family throughout. Thank you Taiga San for the wonderful day!!!
