Kyoto Gion Geisha 2-Hour Cultural Tour with Hidden Gems

Wajid was easily one of the best tour guides I've ever had. Even 30 minutes before we started, he reached out to make sure I knew exactly where to meet him, which was super helpful. He made our whole time in Kyoto memorable. He's really smart and knows his stuff, but he's also just a lot of fun to hang out with. His explanations about the geishas and the local history were fantastic, and he managed to be funny, thoughtful, and totally genuine the whole time. He made sure our pace felt comfortable and answered every single question we had. If you want someone who makes history interesting and approachable, he's your guy. You'll be in great hands with him. 10/10 recommend!

Wajid made Gion come alive Booked this on a whim and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip. Wajid was there ahead of us, umbrella in hand, sorting everyone out before we even started walking. He has a knack for reading a group — he knew when to talk and when to just let us look. He wove in the history of the district, pointed out details we'd have walked straight past, and stopped to answer questions from each of us properly instead of rattling through a script. The rain came down halfway through and he didn't compress a thing. Same pace, same detail, same enthusiasm at the last stop as the first. Five stars, and a genuine thank you to Wajid.

I was new to Japan and spent my first week in Tokyo, where I participated in a few tours. However, during my tour in Kyoto with Wajid, I learned so much more about Japanese culture and traditions, including geisha culture. Wajid is a very professional, kind, and funny guide with a wealth of knowledge. He made the experience truly enjoyable and memorable. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing experience in Kyoto and a deeper understanding of Japanese culture! Thank you very much Wajid for recommending the restaurants at the end of the tour.

Wajid was an extremely kind and professional guide. He made the tour so comfortable and easy to understand. We knew nothing about Gaisha and Gion but he explained in such an interesting way. This tour is much more informative than the price suggests. I will highly recommend this tour

Wagid the guide was very patient and full of knowledge.we highly recommend this tour. We did it straight when we arrived Kyoto and it gave us orientation in the area.

Wajid is the guide that makes you feel like a local. His tours are so detailed and informative I really enjoyed. Thank you mr Wajid.
