A 3-hour walking tour of Kyoto's Gion and Higashiyama districts led by a local English-speaking guide, covering Gion Shinbashi, Chion-in Temple, Maruyama Park, Nene no Michi, the Yasaka Pagoda, Ninenzaka, and Sannenzaka, and concluding near Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
No. Admission fees at all sites visited are not included in the tour price and are payable separately on the day. Gratuities for the guide are also not included.
Comfortable walking shoes with good grip are strongly recommended as the route covers cobblestone paths and hillside terrain in the Higashiyama district.
Bookings can be made up to the last minute, subject to availability.
We really enjoyed the tour! It was the perfect mix we were looking for, history to place you a little in the city and its evolution and curious data touching many topics that interested us (social, religious, labor...). Deborah has been able to handle the timings very well, we loved it, we will recommend it!

Knowledgeable guide, great tour!
Jay was a knowledgeable guide and great storyteller. He lived in the US for some years so his English is excellent. His knowledge of history, Japanese culture, Japanese religion, and all things Kyoto was impressive -- there were no questions he couldn't answer at whatever depth we were willing to take him. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Kyoto.
