Free walking tours in Kyōto

Really nice tour! Full of information and interesting facts. Highly recommend

A very thorough and thoughtful tour off the beaten track! Joseph was a wonderful guide through local temples and shrines.

Our guide Ayumi was just brilliant - she is well prepared, with many pieces of information, pictures, ready to answer all the questions… the tour was really informative and nice and three hours went by in an instant. We are very grateful to Ayumi for sharing also her local knowledge and expertise… such a nice tour!

Maina was the best!!!

Muy recomendable

Maina was a wonderful tour guide. She explained everything very well and provided helpful context. Her extensive knowledge of history and culture was evident throughout the tour. In addition, her lively and open personality made the tour fly by- I wish we had more time together!

We thoroughly enjoyed our morning tour with Ben. He lives in the area, he shared not just information about the area, history, culture…, but we also talked about daily life and many many other things. As it was a low season, we were the only two visitors and Ben did the tour just for us, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend this tour - it was not crowded in the morning and Ben can easily adjust to one’s interests. He is an experienced guide. Many thanks, Ben, for this super nice walk!

El mejor tour que haya hecho hasta ahora. El guía es increíble! Imperdible 🙌🏻👏🏻

Great Tour with Alexander!

Fue increíble Miki sabía muchísimo de historia y nos explico un montón de cosas además tuvimos la oportunidad de ver una geisha, una maiko y dos okasan, fue como estar en otro mundo

Hi Free Walkers, If you want to do a guru free walking tour in Kyoto, I can warmly recommend you to choose the one guided by Benjamin.  Why you might wonder? Well, because it was good :) But what is good? It is hard to define good since it's very personal how one experiences something as good and many factors in which we have no control can colour these experiences. I can only tell you that the experience I had, this cold and rainy, early December morning was good. And it was mostly because of him as a person and his presentation, trust me. Before the start he contacts you so you know that what you're about to attend is a sure thing. He gives you a warm and friendly welcome with a big smile. Personally, I'm not easily impressed, but he had my attention pretty quick and ongoing and that's a good thing.  He knows the story and the history, he tells it in a good spontaneous way, he is open for debate and parole and drinks his coffee latte & cold. Truly, he is a nice warm guy and does a great job as a guide, it has to be told.

Our trip today with Tomy was extraordinary, very well organized! So much more to understand and appreciate, when guided by a person who knows in depth the history and culture of the place. On top of that, we had great fun. Highly recommended!

Oliver war ein super Guide! Die Tour war sehr interessant und es hat wirklich Spaß gemacht.

If you look past the 30 minutes spent on advertising experiences in the area, it’s quite an informative tour from a very knowledgeable guide. They have some good recommendations for food in the area as well. I would do it on a first visit to Kyoto.

This is a good walk if it’s your first day in Kyoto. The guide is lovely and has some really good recommendations for things to see and experiences.

Buen Tour.

Ada fue una excelente guía, desde el principio nos dijo que nos volveríamos en expertos en las geikos y así fue,

Ada was a fantastic guide! She explained us sooo many interesting things about Gion and the maikos, geikos and geishas . We had good fun! I recommend it 100%

Uno de los mejores tour que hice, me acuerdo que el guia era un chico (creo que de mexico), no recuerdo su nombre... pero fue un genio. Nos explico un monton de cosas y era muy divertido. Recomendado 100%

Caro es una genia 💖

We had a wonderful night tour of the Geisha district in Kyoto. Our guide, Saurabh, was extremely informative and shared many interesting facts about the history, culture, and traditions of the area. He answered all of our questions and truly made us feel comfortable asking him anything. Saurabh also gave us plenty of great recommendations for places to visit in Kyoto, including restaurants and food suggestions, which was incredibly helpful. The tour itself was very engaging and well paced, not too long and not too short, just the right amount of time to fully enjoy the experience. Overall, it was a super interesting and memorable tour, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto

Nao did a great job on informing us about the Nijo Castle and Palace. His little tidbits of information about the palace made the tour very interesting.

El tour estuvo genial, nuestra guía Micaela fue fantástica y explica de maravilla. Tuvimos la suerte de ver una Geisha de manera rápida pero acabas al lado del distrito y luego puedes ir tú mismo a ver si tienes suerte y ves alguna. 100% recomendable y Micaela un encanto

Ha sido muy interesante y ameno, la guia muy profesional . Muy recomendable!!!

Mostly enjoyable and fascinating tour with Benjamin. His comprehensive information with good knowledge were appreciated.👍
