Kyoto Gion Tea ceremony & Wabi-sabi Walking Tour

I really enjoyed this tour. It was probably one of the better things I did in Kyoto. I was the only one that booked the tour, so it was private. The guide was great! He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer my questions, even if he had to look up a couple of the more challenging ones. The zen Buddhist temples we visited were really interesting and the gardens were gorgeous! Afterwards, he dropped me off at the tea ceremony place. The host there was very nice and shared a lot of her knowledge of traditional tea ceremonies. I was supposed to be with another couple for that but they were late and missed most of it.

We took the wabi-sabi tour through Kyoto with Josh. He explained a lot to us, and it was really fun. The tour concluded with a tea ceremony that lasted about 30 minutes. Thanks for the interesting day.

Josh was a great guide . Took his time and di not rush. Even took us on s lighly longer route to show more of Kyoto

We had a wonderful half-day with our two local guides Hide and Woohee. We learned a lot about the Gion historical district and Japanese translations. The tea ceremony was a great way to end our day.

Fantastic, very knowledgeable and friendly guide. I learned a lot!

the guide was fun and caring. made sure we got the full experience

Great tour, Hide was very informative.

excellent tour and great guide
