Whoud you prefer a walking tour for 20 or 30 people?
This is a small group tour with a maximum of 7 people, so it's easy to talk to the guide, and the guide can pay attention to each person.
On this tour, you will explore the Gion neighborhood with a Japanese guide who was born and raised in Kyoto.
This tour is more than just a group of participants following a guide and admiring the scenery.
It is held in small groups, allowing the guide to share knowledge and participants to ask questions and enjoy conversation.
Starts at the Minamiza Theater and heads to a quieter neighborhood.
Enjoy the gradually changing atmosphere of the city.
During the walk, we will also take you to secret paths and spots with spectacular views that are not well known to travelers.
You can visit famous temples efficiently by car, but don't forget to enjoy the traditional streets while walking.

Knowledgeable guide about Gion, Geisha culture, had visual examples of what he was talking about, was well prepared, had good English, provided electric fans from the start which was great since it was VERY hot even at night, took pictures for whoever asked, and was a great guy all around!
Highly recommend, will help with knowing where to go and what to look for!

Enjoyable evening walk through Gion district with very knowledgeable guide, Sho. Small group of 5 allowed us to access other areas. Explained the different shrines, statues, geisha, customs and their meanings. Way less tourists at night. Well priced. Thanks Sho! 😊

Sho was nice and the price was low, so it’s tough to complain. His knowledge wasn’t very deep, so it’s more of a nice walk to introduce you to the highlights of Gion, which isn’t a bad thing. Don’t expect much info about history and be prepared to use google for the questions he can’t answer. The small size of the tour was great.

Sho was an absolutely amazing tour guide! He was so knowledgeable, he answered every single question we asked! He brought us all around the Gion region and we visited some shrines, which are so beautiful at night. Thank you Sho for teaching us so much about Kyoto!! I could not recommend this tour enough!

We loved getting learning about the Gion area history, all about Geisha and Maiko, and seeing the beautiful temples/shrines. Sho was a fantastic guide and very friendly. We were 4 adults and 1 child and we all had a great time in the 90 minutes. Being in the evening, the crowds had really thinned out!

Sho was a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide! We absolutely loved the tour and it was so nice to walk Gion at night when the weather has cooled off and the crowds have gone away. I highly recommend this tour 10/10!!! Arigatō Sho!!

Has to be the best and most beautiful tour i’ve ever experienced. The guide, “Sho”, was incredibly friendly and answered all our questions. Kyoto is even more beautiful at night than at day and Sho took us to the most beautiful spots and collaborated on all of them. He also told a lot of funny stories which improved the tour even more. I wholeheartedly recommend the tour.

Picturesque night time views of Gion. We had a great time. Our guide was very informative and made the tour interesting. Recommend this tour as a nice way to take in Gion and see some of the historic buildings which look even better at night.

Booked this as I was with a group who had done it the night before. Our guide Sho was great. Very easy to find the meeting point. We saw 2 Geisha. Definitely recommend a tour as the streets are a maze and you would struggle without one, especially at night. Saw three Shinto shrines too. I loved it.
