Gion tours

Our guide Ms Shion was amazing! She is very enthusiastic and engaging. The walk covers quite a lot at a good pace but we didn’t spot any maikos or geishas which was my main objective. I wonder if the route could be reversed so there’s a higher chance of spotting the talented artistes at the the Queen of Geisha district?

awesome experience! it's really rare to meet a geisha/maiko and it was so fun to play a game with her so close

our tour guide was great. we walked through temples. old streets. and my wife actually saw a geisha. she .ever would of unless it was pointed out they ride in cabs lol. so keep your eyes peeled.

This is a great way to see Gion. Since most of the crowds are there during the day, the night time is the perfect time to go. Plus, if you get Jasmine, you will have an incredibly knowledgeable guide. Totally worth the money!

Our tour guide, who could switch between Chinese, Japanese, and English, and also spoke Korean, made sure every group member was taken care of. It was a huge benefit not having to research the history and stories of each attraction ourselves. They offered pre-ordered lunch, which allowed us more time to explore Kiyomizu-dera Temple and its surroundings, and the food was quite good. The itinerary was well-paced for the limited time (however, this tour is not suitable for travelers who prefer to savor sights slowly or spend a lot of time taking photos, as the time allotted for Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine doesn't allow for walking the entire Senbon Torii path!). The tour bus was clean and tidy, and the ride was smooth and steady. I'm prone to motion sickness and usually sleep on buses, and I didn't wake up due to poor driving.

This was such a great tour! Reon was our guide and he was fantastic. he walked at a good pace, had a picture book to show us everything he was talking about and knew soooo much about the topics he was talking on. he was able to answer all the questions. a very exciting part was we got to see a geisha in training (Maiko) walk by and it brought everything to life. Reon was quick to point her out so we didn’t miss the moment. great tour , lots of really cool information and not difficult walking. would highly recommend. was awesome seeing Kyoto at night!

This is Group 3 from the September 22nd tour! This was easily one of the most satisfying parts of our trip 😊 Thanks in particular to our guide, Oh Seok-bong, it felt like much more than just a sightseeing tour—we learned so much about Japan. Even during the bus rides, he kept sharing a wealth of practical information for travelers, such as Japanese culture, daily life tips, local hidden gems for dining, and shopping lists 🚌📌 Rather than the cliché information you easily find online, much of it was immediately useful on the ground, which also helped with the rest of our independent travel. I especially remember him telling us, "Don't buy your souvenirs here; go to Don Quijote instead, as these are overpriced" 😂 It was both funny and touching because it felt like he was genuinely looking out for our wallets 💸 The sightseeing itinerary and explanations were wonderful, and even after the tour ended, he told us to contact him anytime if we needed restaurant reservations. He even said that if we ever return to Japan after going back to Korea, we could reach out to him with no strings attached, and that he would help us if any issues arose during our travels, which gave us great peace of mind 🙏 It's common for relationships to end as soon as a one-day tour is over, so his continued care and support left a strong impression. We were completely satisfied with the sightseeing, the information, and the kindness, and he is a guide we would love to meet again on our next trip to Japan. We made wonderful memories thanks to guide Oh Seok-bong 😊 Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This walking tour was a great tour with more steps added to your walking haha. Marie our tour guide was so knowledgeable about every attraction with their history and helpful in showing us what’s around the area of Kyoto, Gion etc. She also takes great photos and gives any food recommendations wherever we are. At the end we were given some gifts from Marie which was a nice suprise. Would book with her again next time.

The tour was well worth the money, and our guide, Gary, was very professional. When I visited Osaka last winter, I booked a one-day tour through Klook, and the guide contacted me via WhatsApp beforehand. This time, no one contacted me in advance, which made me quite anxious. However, everything started very smoothly once we arrived at the designated time and meeting point. My husband, children, and I had a wonderful trip, enjoyed a delicious lunch, and had a great time tasting green tea. I highly recommend booking this tour if it's your first time visiting the places on the itinerary, as it takes care of your meals and transportation.
