We booked the tour and got Reon as our guide, it was just me and my mom on the tour so it was private! Reon was incredibly nice and knew everything there was to know about shintoism buddhism and he explained it to us perfectly . it was amazing, the streets were almost empty and it was very peaceful. Reon explained to us about the history of the geiko and the maiko and we walked through the geisha district. i would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the japanese culture and if you want an incredible nice and interesting guide ask for Reon.
Had an amazing experience. Our guide, Ko, was really nice. He mentioned that this was just his 3rd such tour, but was a pro. Gave us a lot of information about the places we visited and also took us through some secret by-lanes. The conversations along the way too were very interesting. Thank you! Would certainly recommend this for anyone looking for a nice evening stroll in Kyoto.
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!
We had a great time on the walking tour with our guide Suzuki. We had chosen the 6pm slot for the tour which we definitely recommend as you got to see Gion as the sun was setting which was beautiful. Suzuki was a very knowledgable guide and being shown around by a student added to the experience as we heard about what it was like to live in Kyoto and we got some great recommendations for places to eat.
It exceeded my expectations. I didn't have high hopes, but I didn't expect this area to have such a unique charm at night. The main reason is that there are basically no tall buildings here, and the scenery is truly breathtaking, especially after the lights come on at night. It was a huge surprise. The tour guide was very thorough, and any questions I had were answered promptly. It's much better than wandering around by myself, and I also had the opportunity to exchange cultural insights and travel experiences with tourists from all over the world. I highly recommend this city walk tour! 👍🥰 Itinerary: Includes some of the most famous spots. Rest: Not tiring, quite chill.
Definitely add this one to your “must do” list. our guide was amazing, answering all our questions and we learnt so much. We visited parts of Kyoto hidden away waiting to be discovered. Really enjoyed this experience. Highly recommend!
Although Gion Matsuri was incredibly crowded and chaotic, our guide, Leon, remained calm and provided excellent assistance. He explained things in a way that was easy for me to understand, even with my limited English, which I really appreciated. The tour route was efficient, and I learned a lot about Japanese culture that I hadn't known before. We were even lucky enough to see a geisha, which was a truly impressive experience. I highly recommend this tour!
Ken was the best tour guide, he was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He was very friendly and fun to talk to! we highly recommend this tour of Gion Kyoto, it was the best part of our trip!!! thank you! Alvarado Family guide:Ken group size:small itinerary:Gion
