Kyoto: Gion And Geisha District Walking Tour

Thus was a very nice small group tour. Our guide was informative, polite, and took time to answer questions. We gained k owledge and saw some hidden highlights.

We did the Gion and Geisha District walking tour with Nay and really enjoyed it. He took us to some great spots around Gion we never would have found on our own, and his history and explanations were fantastic. We learned so much about the area and the geisha culture. A great way to spend a couple of hours in Kyoto. Highly recommend, and ask for Nay!

Finding out a lot about the Geisha district and viewing sites not normally visited. Very informative tour.

Malu was an AMAZING - I love asking tons of questions and learning about history, and she was able to answer every single question I had about Japanese culture and history. She was so clear and enthusiastic, this was one of the best tours of my life!

A wonderful experience with a very good value for money! Our guide Pedro was very nice, friendly, kind and gave us many information. He also encouraged questions and answered all of them. The tour lasted 2 hours and covered a big part of the district and many sights. I highly recommend this walking tour with Pedro!

Pedro was an amazing guide and kind guide!!! He shared useful information and interesting stories! It was a pleasant activity that I would do it again. The selected tour included many places that we would like to visit. Two full hours and we learned a lot!

Malu was the best Tiurguide I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend to do it with her.

The overall tour was amazing, Pedro was great at explaining and answering all questions. He even engaged in small talk and found a way to bring all the guests on the tour in on the experience. The tour was amazing overall, saw one Geisha and that was awesome.

Pedro was very knowledgable and gave very good, in depth explainations.

Amazing, Pedro - the best guide!

Really complete tour. Nay was really helpfull and really knew the history of everything. Worth completely the booking, and we were luck to see maiko.

Our tour guide, Thunder, was amazing and held our interest throughout the tour with her stories of the Geiko and Maiko, and the many historical stories shared about the surrounding neighborhoods. We highly recommend this tour!

Lydya was very knowledge and a great tour guide overall. We loved having her as our guide for the evening!

Great introduction to Kyoto. Angelia was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Hiroshi was a great guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Kept the tour going whilst giving time for photos and questions. We didn’t see a Geiko but we know where to return to on another evening! Thanks Hiroshi. 😃

William is the best tour guide of all time. Very educational and kept things interesting while also adding small perosnal details. He also was very helpful after the tour with recommendations.

Williams was a great guide. Gave lots of information and was very happy to help

William was an incredible tour guide - intelligent, friendly, and amusing.

Leuke tour. Micaela did a great job!

Our guide was very friendly and teach us a lot about the area and the different places we visit during this tour.

Thanks to the good explanation of our guide Hiroshi, we enjoy a lot the Gion tour

The tour was awesome! Thank you Hiroshi for taking the time and explain everything so thoughtfully. Highlight was as well that we were able to see two Geishas as well :)

A really helpful introduction to the world of the geisha plus an overview of Japanese religions . Peter was an excellent knowledgable guide.)

Such a good tour, went places we would never of found and because it was at night it was quiet and lit up! Darren our tour guide was really professional and knowledgeable!

Hiroshi was an amazing tour guide, would recommend great value for money also

The tour talks about a lot more than the geisha experience. Maybe spell that out more clearly, but Otherwise, Pedro was very knowledgeable and did a great job.

Incredible night tour of Gion with Angelia, she was very knowledgeable and gave interesting facts and history of the area Highly recommend for a tour in Kyoto!

I was extrememly disappointed with this walking tour. The time was changed until 7pm- 9pm and was dark. Just as well we had a torch or others had a torch on their phones. The tour lass had someone else with her and she spent most of the time talking to her. She would start talking about areas before the whole group had gathered to hear what she was saying. Not worth the money. It ended completely away from the starting point, hence we needed to catch a taxi back to our hotel. I would not recommend this tour. Brenda

It was perfect. Hiroshi was our guide - and he were perfect! Very nice and have a lot of knowleg. Tnx!

Great tour. Nay cracking job. Informative from start to finish.

Hiroshi was our guide and was very knowledgeable. We had a great time on this tour.

Hiroshi was an amazing guide! Knowledgeable, easy to talk to and engaging!

Lydia was our host, and full of interesting information--even things that I never thought to ask. Experiencing Kyoto at night had unique and beautiful advantages. Lydia told us of the traditions in various shrines and temples, including the importance of the icons at the entrances. Learning about the geisha culture was enlightening. Also, we were able to avoid the daytime crowds.

Haroshi Nagasaki was an amazing guide. Knowledgeable and polite. Thank you

It is a beautiful night walk past temples, parks, pagodas, great views, and the guests district. William, our guide, shared many facts about each area and it’s importance to the Japanese community.

Lidya was very informative and made the walk a very enjoyable experience.

We really enjoyed this tour and are so glad we booked. Lidya was knowledgeable and friendly and we learned so much about Kyoto’s history while exploring Gion at night - something we likely wouldn’t have done ourselves! This tour was well worth the money and was a highlight of our trip. Very much recommend!

Nay is a fun guide. He was informative.

Lidya gave an excellent tour. I learned a lot of new things.

Great tour with Lydia she was very informative and pleasant

Enjoyed learning about Gion and the history of this lovely city.

Gayathri was a great guide. Super knowledgeable with great storytelling skill. Highly recommended for a nice walk through the shrines and geisha district.

Hiroshi was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend his tour, we saw Geisha’s too! Really enjoyed all the temples and the old tea houses.

Hiroshi was very knowledgeable and gave us a great understanding of Japans culture and history.

Great tour guide. A great tour

The tour with Hiroshi was very great

Theo our guide was fantastic what a great and knowledgeable young man. His passion about japan and the food was fantastic. The resturants were great the food was plentiful and tasty. We thought it would just be tastes but wow we had so much food. The resturants had history and the dishes were well chosen.

Excellent evening tour. Nay was a great host and tour guide. The route was excellent, covering the Gion district shrines and temples.

Amazing tour! Hiroshi was very good, he explained a lot of interesting details of Kyoto’s nightlife and city experiences. Would definitely recommend!
