Free walking tours in Kyōto

We went when it was a upper rainy day but our guide was able to make the best of the weather. We went on a beautiful hike and took some beautiful photos for us of the bamboo forest. Thank you!:

We did a tour yesterday, April 30th, with Benjamin through GuruWalk, and it was amazing. He took us to all the places we wanted to see—the main tourist spots as well as some hidden gems that we absolutely loved exploring. His knowledge was incredible, and he surprised us with so many interesting details that we would have never discovered on our own. We 1000% recommend him!

Ben è fantastico! Miglior guida trovata in Giappone. Super preparato, bravissimo ad intrattenere e simpatico! Il posto merita decisamente la visita, anche in una giornata di pioggia. E Ben è stato bravissimo a farci godere il tutto nonostante il cattivo tempo. Assolutamente da fare!

Excelente broche de oro para mi primera visita a Japon! Lina nos dio un walking tour increíble por el centro histórico de Kyoto. No solo cubrió la historia de la ciudad de forma amena, sino que nos llevó por templos emblemáticos explicándonos a fondo las religiones en Japón. Fue súper útil aprender a diferenciar los rituales y entender el significado de lo que veíamos. Además, al terminar nos dio muchísimas sugerencias personalizadas de lugares para visitar y comer. Un recorrido precioso y sumamente interesante :)

Maina was an awesome guide! I learned so much from her about the true culture of Japan and the world of the Geishas. She explained everything beautifully, from their professional training and lifestyles to the small details that help you identify the different stages, like the Maiko (apprentices) versus the Geiko. This was very insightful!

This was a great insight into the local area and living in same

She was a professional tour guide!!! Super excellent

El tour con Ayumi fue genial. Se nota de su pasión por el tema de las geishas ( o geikos y maikos como aprendimos que se llaman realmente) y hace muy entretenido el tour. Con mucha información de buena fuente. Lo super recomiendo!

Nos gustó mucho el tour, la guía excelente.

Makoto is a great guide and the tour was really interesting. He is very attentive to questions and his guests. He also shared his 'secret cat spot' which was a bonus!

Ayumi fue una excelente guia, aprendimos mucho sobre la historia de las geishas y caminar à por calles muy interesantes y bellas. Ayumi es muy carismatica y amigable.

Excelente guía, comparte información muy interesante y te lleva de la mano en la visita, aclara dudas, da buenos consejos y recomendaciones, excelente experiencia

Very informative and we saw 3 geishas this evening.

Fantastic walk with Sarah. Her knee and engagement with the group was fabulous! Thoroughly enjoyed the walk. Would highly recommend!

Benjamin was amazing From the word go he was informative, knowledgable and entertaining. I have done many tours in Japan and Benjamin is by far the best I have had. I wish him the best Bill - Australia

Ayumi was an amazing tour guide! The tour was lovely! Highly recommend!

Very informative tour with great small details that would pass unnoticed if not for the great guide! The recommendation list in the end was also very high quality

Ezequiel nos hizo la experiencia mucho mejor que cualquier tour. Excelente Guia !!! Magnificas explicaciones y anecdotas

Ezequiel es super majo, cuenta un montón de curiosidades. Muy recomendable

Miguel did a great job at providing interesting info about all the sites we visited and answering all our questions. Highly recommend!

Hinata was a fabulous tour guide! we covered so much ground in the 2 hours. His knowledge was exceptional and any questions the group had, he would happily (and on very much detail) answer them. And what a polite guy. He went into detail on most buildings and even so much Info on geisha! Honestly one of the best walking tours I’ve ever been on and I highly recommend- thanks to Hinata the tour was amazing!

Excelente tour la verdad lara hace un excelente trabajo con la explicación de cada punto y ayuda con la fotos también, muy agradecido y contento por este tour

Himata the guru was well informed about anythink we asked. Also he did a good presentation. He did also brought pictures of geisha and maiko to show differences and tell stories about them.

Very friendly and enthusiastic guide. We both enjoyed her bubbly personality and the great info she provided and interesting sites she took us to
