Kyoto 4 Hour Low-Down Private Walking Tour
- In just a few short hours, see a tailor-made selection of sites, picked by your local host, that show every side of Kyoto
- Experience modern and ancient Japan – from late-night karaoke bars to the oldest temple in Kyoto
- Explore two of Kyoto’s most famous districts: Gion and Higashiyama
- Learn about Japan’s history by simply walking the streets and talking to your local insider
- If you’re hungry, your host is on hand to explain every dish, order from any menu, and recommend the most delicious food in the city
What to expect
See the temples and shrines that make Kyoto famous – and the popular local haunts your guidebook doesn’t even know exist! From feasting on wagyu (yes, wagyu!) sushi ordered by your in-the-know host at centuries-old Nishiki Market to exploring the historical, wood-built streets of Higashiyama, to gazing out over the city from Yasaka Pagoda, the soul of Kyoto is quick to discover – and even faster to love.
Enjoy modern and ancient Japan, harmoniously intertwined, as you snack on street food while listening to live traditional music at Kamo River. Gather with other revelers in the streets of Gion and Ponto-chō for a night of karaoke, upscale dinners, and draft beer at intimate izakayas where the crowds outside seem to fade from existence.
Reviews
Our guide, Hiro, was an amazing fun informative guide who made out first time visit to Kyoto fun and engaging. Even with rain, Hiro displayed a positive interactive personality, who showed us key places like Restaurant Street, Gion, Yasaka Shrine, Maruyama Park, Entokuin Temple, Matcha Tea Ceremony. There is so much more to see and we will engage Hiro again, when we are back in Kyoto. He has been a phenomenal guide who acts like a good friend showing one around and had a great itinerary for us.
Mia was amazing! She was very easy to talk to and easily personalized our tour. She was very knowledgeable on the history of Kyoto. We did not have to ask for pictures because she offered multiple times to take some of us and recommended multiple places for us to go to after the tour. Thank you Mia!
Our tour guide Mia was an excellent and articulate person. She helped us understand the culture , traditions , and history of Kyoto. She is friendly with great sense of understanding of us as a group of sisters touring in Kyoto together as 50 something women. Highly recommended 😊👍😊
our city walk with Emi was amazing - we saw so much! We appreciated how accommodating Emi was suggesting meeting us at the hotel , and also agreeing to add our point of interest to the route. All in all, and especially traveling with teenager kid, you only wished all your tours were like a city walk with a friend and this is exactly how our tour felt ! Super grateful for this match with our guide, we saw and felt the city through Emi’s deep love and appreciation and now share it too 🙏🏽
Michael was amazing , very well informed , organised the plan based on our interests and paced everything according to our needs. answered all our questions about history and took out time to take great pictures. best thing was he also recommended places for dinner.
