Quioto: Joias Escondidas de Gion e Tour pela Cultura Gueixa

Really interesting tour which took us to places in Gion and around that we wouldn’t have found on our own! Tommy our tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept the group interested. Need comfortable shoes for walking.

We went on the tour of Kyoto with Thea. Our group was around 10 people and lasted for about 2.5 hours. What a great way to get to see and understand the history of Kyoto. Both my 9 & 12 year old loved the tour as well, even more than the kitsunge workshop that we took earlier today. Thea was great in how she gave the group time to take photos, pray at different shrines if we wanted to, and helped capture nice family photos. Tip: Book a time about an hour before sunset so you can see some of the temples in daylight but also see Gion at night with lanterns.

Today's tour was truly excellent value for money. Wajid is a fantastic guide who shared so much history about geishas and Gion. We took many great photos, and we wouldn't have known any of this historical background if we had visited on our own. Thank you, Guide Wajid, for your detailed explanations and care throughout the trip. I highly recommend this tour to everyone! Had an amazing experience on this tour today! Wajid is a fantastic guide who shared wonderful insights about the geishas and Gion's history. We took beautiful photos and learned so much we would have missed on our own. Thank you for the detailed explanations and excellent care, Wajid! Highly recommended! Guide: very good Attractions: very good Group size: very good Itinerary: very good

We loved every minute of the tour! Our guide Valeria is the absolute best - her knowledge is beyond! We did the tour at night so we had most of the neighbourhoods to ourselves. Thank you for sharing the history of Kyoto and some gems along the way with us! Okini!!

Our guide Ken was very informative and patient. We even had a chance to see a Maiko walking down the street! Booking a late afternoon/evening tour is better on hot/sunny days. Thanks for the interesting history of Kyoto. It truly is a beautiful city! I wish we spent more time here to explore.

Don't hesitate to come and discover Gion. For me, it was a great introduction to start exploring Kyoto, and I absolutely don't regret it! The guide was very friendly, and time flew by; it was fantastic.

Las luces nocturnas son asombrosas y crean una atmósfera mágica. Fue una experiencia agradable conocer la historia de las geishas y pasear por el antiguo barrio de Kioto, descubriendo Pontocho con sus deliciosos restaurantes y su vibrante ambiente. Especialmente en esta temporada, con los cerezos en flor por toda la ciudad, que dan color a la zona y un toque romántico. Tuvimos una buena experiencia y todo estuvo bien preparado en todos los eventos. Wajad, el guía turístico, fue un excelente narrador de historias y explicó con precisión cada aspecto de la zona y de la gente que vive en Gion. Muy satisfechos de haber tenido un guía tan bien preparado.

This was the highlight of our entire trip. We’re still talking about it two weeks on! Luis was a fantastic guide - he was patient, insightful and full of local knowledge. Walking through Gion’s streets and learning about geishas and their training was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. I’d go every night if I could! I’d absolutely recommend booking an evening slot - we booked 7pm. This meant the area was quieter and we could stop and take it all in without the chaos and crowds of the daytime. Cherry blossom season made it extra memorable for us! We went back and retraced our steps a few nights later ourselves. Such a great tour - absolutely book it! We’ll be back.

This was one of the best tours I’ve been on. Nao was so amazing, knowledgeable and fun!! The sites were spectacular and his knowledge about the places and the culture was unreal. We were lucky enough to see 3 Geisha’s on our tour. Thanks Nao from the Australian girls

Tuvimos un gran recorrido al atardecer con nuestro guía, Logan, quien nos brindó mucha información sobre el distrito de Gion y la historia y los acontecimientos de la vida de una geisha. Ninguna pregunta quedó sin respuesta. Lo disfrutamos muchísimo, solo deseamos que hubiera hecho más calor.
