Very informative tour. Our guide shared lots of info about the gion area and geisha customs. We went back the next day to visit his recommendations. Going on tour in the evening was pretty magical. Thanks so much to our fabulous tour guide.

An incredible experience had by us in Kyoto with our tour guide Uta! She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many stories. We explored Gion and visited so many areas we never would have found without her. She was kind and funny and made it such an incredible tour. She even managed to help us see a Geisha and 2 Maiko which was so special. Was such a surreal experience. Would recommend to anyone! Thankyou Uta ❤️

Our tour was amazing. Itsuki, our tour guide, was so informative, patient, and friendly. Would highly recommend, especially if you only have a short time in Kyoto, as we did. We even saw multiple geisha!
