All our local guides working very hard to provide the best experiences to you, and well deserve tips for their work. We appreciate your respect and gratuities to our local guides.

No. We try to manage group in an ideal size of guests. So please book the tour. Also, in some case, we send you email when we cancel the tour due to the weather condition.

​

I cannot book the tour. Can I just show up and wait for the cancel?

No. We take bookings including additional slots. But we open the last minutes booking one day before the tour.

Do you offer private tours?

No, unfortunately we only offer the open group tours available for booking on our website.

Why are there limited spaces for the Free Walking Tour?

We limit the group sizes for the Free Walking Tour for safety and quality reasons. Walking Kyoto with a big group is not a good idea, and our tour guide cannot offer a great service to our guests.
