My reviews

    We really enjoyed our experience for the Gion tour. It was refreshing to receive emails about our preferences for our tour guide and things to help make our experience more enjoyable for our tour and our selected tour guide. Our tour guide Cici for friendly and informative. Cici understood the history and culture of Kyoto. My kids really enjoyed talking to Cici about everything related to Kyoto. Our whole family enjoyed our interactions and Gion walk with Cici. I would highly recommend this tour to others to try.

    We told our guide (Ceci) that we wanted to focus on things other than temples, shrines and castles. We particularly enjoyed the Gion DistrIct and the Philosopher’s Path. Ceci is very knowledgeable about Kyoto — history, environment and culture. She communicates well and has a great personality, making for a very enjoyable and enriching experience.
