5.00So sorry its taken a while to write this post, we travelled around Japan in Jan 2026, well what can we say Ben is an absolute gentleman, so knowledgeable about Kyoto, the tour was amazing we learnt so much, Ben took the time to fully explain everything areas of interest local cultures the mysterious Geisha's and the Geisha district. We fell in love with Kyoto. We highly recommend booking with Ben (Wonderland Japan) if possible, book at the start of your stay in Kyoto, this will help maximise what you are able to see. Thank you Ben, we plan to return to Kyoto and will be100% be booking trips with you

5.00In January, my wife and I had an amazing day tour around Kyoto with our excellent tour guide Ben. It can be difficult knowing the best spots to visit in a new city. Without his help, we might’ve missed half of the cool places - he knew them all! Ben had a lot of local knowledge to share, spoke to us as if we were already friends, and had a great sense of humour. We learned a lot about Geiko history and performance, and he showed us around trendy areas like Pontocho where we ended up for dinner and drinks, plus we visited Yasaka shrine and walked past the pagoda where we learned more about local religious customs, and we even had time for some shopping for snacks and souvenirs. When we come back to Kyoto, we’ll have to book another tour with him. 5 stars!

5.00I came to Gion several times, but it is my first time to get a clear explanation about Geisha and Kyoto tradition. If you are interested in Japanese culture, I recommend you to take this tour. Also, Momoko san speaks English well and she is very open to answer questions.
Wonderful time in Gion

5.00I was visiting Kyoto for a few days and my friend told me about this tour, immediately booked. I had a great time walked around and learned about Geisha and Japanese cultural entertainment around Gion area from Momoko san. She had a flip chart with her to help with some of the explanation. She took care of us during the tour and helped taking pictures of us for our memory too. Momoko san was so friendly and answer my questions patiently. Recommended!

5.00I was late to the group tour due to sudden work meeting, but Momoko-san is still welcoming me warmly! She explained things clearly while also giving facts that are only obvious to locals. She is also very friendly, and talks in English pretty well compared to typical Japanese people. Thanks Momoko-san!
