Gion Corner mga tour

Joined the 1-Day Kyoto Tour with Sunrise Tours and it was an absolute highlight of our Japan trip. Our tour guide was incredibly informative, courteous, and thoughtful — sharing fascinating insights while ensuring everyone felt comfortable and included. Perfectly organized with seamless transportation and a wonderful balance of must-see temples and hidden gems. Highly recommended!

This walking tour was a great tour with more steps added to your walking haha. Marie our tour guide was so knowledgeable about every attraction with their history and helpful in showing us what’s around the area of Kyoto, Gion etc. She also takes great photos and gives any food recommendations wherever we are. At the end we were given some gifts from Marie which was a nice suprise. Would book with her again next time.

It is an awesome tour, felt like hanging out with a local friend! My friend and I booked the Kyoto Gion Cultural Walk for the 10:30 AM slot, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! Since this is a new start-up, it’s the perfect choice if you want to support a small business and avoid the massive, overcrowded tour groups. No one else booked our time slot, so we actually ended up getting a "private" tour just for the two of us! Our guide, Momo, was top. We learned so much about Kyoto's history and Geisha culture. Since it was our first time in Japan, we asked a million random questions on the street, and Momo happily answered them all while keeping us safe in the busy crowds. Fun fact: Momo is a former chef, so we got some excellent food recommendations too! The pace was super relaxed. Momo even let us take a quick detour to a Totoro shop just because my friend was so excited. If you want a great, relaxing experience, highly recommend booking this!

Keiko was very knowledgeable. She hasbtaken time to learn the culture around Gion and was able to share insights of Geikilo and Maiko culture. The rour had many interesting spots and stories. Was a wonderful 2 hours spent with Keiko. We even spotted a Geiko! And that was a bonus.

Milo was my tour guide and he was fantastic! Very knowledgeable on everything Kyoto and i thoroughly enjoyed listening to him. I also loved how he met me at my hotel. He took me to some lovely souvenir shops and around the Keisha district and out of the hustle and bustle. Overall great experience!

Hassan was an AMAZING tour guide. He was knowledgeable, kind, and had great energy. He took us to all of our desired destinations. He was incredibly helpful assisting my mother up and down stairs, and took his time explaining the history of each spot. He truly made our Japan trip memorable. Thank you Hassan for all your hard work.

Our guide Ms Shion was amazing! She is very enthusiastic and engaging. The walk covers quite a lot at a good pace but we didn’t spot any maikos or geishas which was my main objective. I wonder if the route could be reversed so there’s a higher chance of spotting the talented artistes at the the Queen of Geisha district?

Amy made this a very memorable experience. She was very informative with providing information about each stop. She took amazing photos of myself & others on the tour. She gave great recommendations. She even went out of her way to purchase & provide snacks to share with everyone on the tour as well as offering free postcards & calligraphy cards with our name. When it started to rain, she even provided umbrellas! I would recommend Amy to friends & family! & I would book future tours with her whenever I return.

I was truly impressed with this trip. Every place we visited was absolutely beautiful. The guide took great care of us and gave us enough time at each destination to fully enjoy and soak in the atmosphere. The travel time between each stop was just right, and I loved every destination along the way. I would definitely love to come back and take this trip again!
