    Jasmine was a very knowledgeable and fun guide. We covered a lot of ground in Kyoto, saw everything we had hoped to see and learned a good bit about Kyoto and geishas. Highly recommend this tour.

    Great way to experience Kyoto at night
    David_G, Apr 2024
    Richard was a great tour guide, very knowledgable about Kyoto and Japanese culture in general, and we really enjoyed hearing him speak about the city’s history and share some of his own perspectives. The tour route was fabulous, with highlights being the incredible Yasaka pagoda, delicious udon and grilled mochi at a rest stop and getting to see geisha in the various geisha districts. Highly recommended!
    Great private family tour
    Rachel_W, Apr 2024
    We did a private tour with Jasmine as a family with two young children. Jasmine was very engaging and although it was a busy evening in the district (cherry blossom season), made sure we had the time and space to see the key areas, take photos and ask questions. Jasmine was lovely toward my two young children, stopping for a snack midway through the tour.
    Kyoto from another era - a must do
    Sujatha_S, Apr 2024
    Yuko was an excellent, patient informative guide. And the walk at dusk with lights and cherry blossoms was romantic and made you feel like you were in old-world Kyoto. Would highly recommend it!
    Fascinating tour

    We went on this tour our last night in Kyoto and it was the perfect ending to our trip! Our guide, Karl, was so knowledge, thoughtful and entertaining. We had the best experience with him. Throughout the tour, he provided fascinating insights into the history and culture of Kyoto. It was an unforgettable experience!

    Kal was amazing The tour was engaging fun a really experience His 80yr old mother came out to the street from her house to say hello and give us candies. It just made the tour that much more cute.
    Covering ground
    Anisa_V, Apr 2024
    Navigating the streets with a local on the first day in Kyoto was a great way to cover ground and give me an idea of where I'd like to visit during my stay.
    Better than expected!!!
    Katherine_K, Apr 2024
    Yuko was an excellent tour guide! Very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. The tour was also really good and there was a lot more included than I expected. She explained some customs/rituals of the shrines and we were invited to participate in some. Hight was walking through the backstreets with a view of the Yasaka Pagoda - a very unexpected and lovely surprise!!! Yuko was also very respectful of the Geishas and of other pedestrians/cars in the area and showed us the correct way to transition through the places to avoid upsetting others. Highly recommend!
    We had a very nice night...
    Judith_P, Apr 2024
    We had a very nice night stroll with our guide through Gion and even saw a Maiko - we loved every moment!
    Great tour and guide!
    Emmanuel_R, Apr 2024
    The tour was great! Richard was very knowledgeable and pointed out many historical landmarks and gave a provided interesting facts at each corner. Since I was the only one on the tour, we were able to go at a decent pace and take in as much as possible. When I return with family and/or friends, I’ll make sure to book with Richard again!
    Exciting tour of traditional Kyoto
    James_K, Apr 2024
    Our wonderful tour guide showed us the old, traditional Japanese parts of the city we hadn’t explored on our own. Excellent English, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She added so much to our appreciation of Kyoto.
