Free walking tours in Kyoto

We loved Ono’s tour. He speaks perfect English, the best English we heard from a Japanese person so far, is extremely well documented with a lot of interesting information, the tour exceeded our expectations. Ono spent time to explain details to us and answered our many questions with a lot of patience. He is very careful about the group needs and interests. Highly recommend his tour, you can tell from the first interaction that he is a very kind person, i believe you can also get to understand a bit of what genuine Japanese politeness and kindness means. Thank you for that, Ono!!

Uno dei migliori tour mai fatti. David è veramente appassionato del Giappone e cerca di trasmetterlo al 100%. Consiglio vivamente.

Daniel è stata una guida fantastica! Ci ha fatto immergere nella cultura delle geishe, della Maiko e Geiko raccontandoci ogni particolare e aneddoto! Ottimo inglese parlato! Consigliatissimo!

David was very professional and told us a lot of interesting stories!

Our guide Ayumi was amazing, well informed, organized, funny, and perfect English. I have been on a couple of tours in japan so far, this was another level. Thank you so much.

Thank you Koki! We really enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about the Japanese's culture and Kyoto.

The tour was fantastic with our tour guide David. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Japanese culture. Not only did he provide interesting information about Japan, but he also shared fascinating historical facts. His enthusiasm kept everyone engaged from start to finish. Highly recommended!!

Daniel was very kind, enthusiast and explained us a lot of interesting things about Geisha world. Highly recommended!

We had a fab walking tour with Ben, his delivery and wealth of information was great. Thoroughly enjoyed it, even in the rain!

Interesting tour of the historical area of Kyoto.

Ben was terrific! He was super knowledgeable about the history of Kyoto and knew the ins and outs of the city, including hidden gems. His explanations and stories gave us a lot of culture and historical context. Thanks for a great tour!

Claire had a great personality who highlighted Kyoto’s rich culture and history. She was very informative with personal perspective on the area and mindful of the groups pace. Highly recommend!

Daniel was an amazing tour guide! So knowledgeable about geishas and Kyoto culture in general! He made us a few restaurant recommendations and we ended up having dinner in one of them that was amazing!

Not easy to guide 17 people but Ayumi did it easily. Her English was perfect and easy to understand. Kyoto is an amazing place. Highly recommend

Visited the Gion district and actually saw a Geiko! Learnt the difference between Geisha Geiko Maiko and their lifestyles. Was very informative and interesting. Gurus Ada (Spanish who has lived in Japan for over 12 years) was engaging in her information and spoke eloquently.

Interesting, informative and fun! Thank you ☺️

Ayumi did an amazing job showing us her home of 5 years. Although she delievered a lot of facts and information it never got boring. Would absolutly recommend it to anyone! Okini for the tour!

Piacevole ed interessante tour sul sistema delle geisha e la loro storia. Lo abbiamo fatto con partenza alle 19.30 e abbiamo visto molte geishe nelle stradine. Consigliato

Family of four absolutely loved the tour - informative and highlight of our trip - surpassed our expectations

Kazu es un guía excelente. Muy amable e informativo. Recomiendo completamente que hagan esta visita con el. Kazu is a great guide. Very kind and knowledgeable. I completely recommend doing this tour with him.

We recently did this tour with Lila and it was immensely informative. She managed to keep our group, which included 5 children, engaged for 2+ hours and while we did not see any geishas sadly, it was still a worthwhile tour. Lila was a great tour guide and I highly recommend asking for her if you are able to!

We enjoyed the Geisha tour in Gion with Kiko.

The tour was amazing! She was super clear, funny, curious and a super nice person! Highly recommend to anyone!

Incredibile la cultura delle geishe molto affascinante,

Ada was a good guide. Gave us lots of info and inside info and answered our questions.
