Essential Free walking tours of Kyoto

Highly enjoyable tour - we learnt a lot about the historic districts of Kyoto, Geisha, and famous temples and shrines. We wouldn’t have appreciated the area as much without the context, and Kazu was a wonderful guide. Highly recommend!

Very well presented walking tour. Kozu was excellent and well informed. A delightful man.

I give a 5 stars ⭐ review to Benjamin ! I was alone during the tour which allowed me to talk with Benjamin about many topics about Japan and Kyoto! He gives good advice, about his city and even about others (like Uji for example) and he is very friendly! I recommend this tour, thank you again !

Kazu gave great historical information and applied it in a modern context. If we were staying in Kyoto longer, we would want to tour other places with him. The tour we took gave us a great idea of what makes Kyoto so special.

Ben was very good. 👍

Ben spoke very well and shared his knowledge very well. He also took us to areas that were less well known by tourists. I would definitly recommend Ben to others.

Ben did a great job explaining everything. His English was very good. He made the trip very enjoyable. I would highly recommend him and this tour.

After the wonderful tour Kazu gave us a great lunch recommendation for authentic Japanese meal which we enjoyed very much! It was a nice cap to the tour !

Ben was a very fun guide! We were a small group of 7, and the places he took us were beautiful. Thanks again for the pictures taken and the recommendations!

Really good tour. Recommend

Kazu is a lovely guide. Informative and entertaining with a good sense of humor.

It was a great tour. We learned a lot.

Very useful and interesting, very polite and punctual!

Kazu’s pacing was very good. He anticipated many of the FAQs, but he still provided plenty of time to elicit questions after his presentation at each location.

Thank you Kazu for a great insightful walking tour!! Such an informative couple of hours. Highly recommend!

Ayumi had a lot of knowledge and delivered it to us with a light touch so enjoyable and informative

A good introduction to the main sites and history of Kyoto by an excellent guide.

Ayumi is simply an amazing guide. She was loud, clear and animated. She was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. I would take any tour she lead.

This tour was very informative. We covered an interesting part of Gion and discussed the Geishas and more! I very much enjoyed it.

Very good and enjoyable

He was informative and solicitous

Tommy is passionate about his city and manages to be funny making information easy to digest! Really interesting and would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kyoto for the first time!

Ayumi was awesome! Very talented guide.

Hana had a great personality and was very professional. Lots of information about the surrounding area and more widely about Kyoto. The time flew by and sad it was over. Thank you for an insight morning.

Ayumi was super knowledgeable and entertaining! She made the whole 3 hours pass by like it was nothing. One of the best guided tours I had! Totally recommend it!
