Things to do in Pontocho

The experience with Saki was super fun and interesting, touring the most fascinating parts of Gion and trying delicious local dishes. Highly, highly recommended!!!!

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!

hands down best way to introduce yourself to Kyoto & Japan in general’s food! Tara was so knowledgeable and really engaging!

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!

A definite highlight of Kyoto- Rinn brought a fresh perspective to the tour and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute 🤗
