5.00This was a wonderful tour led by a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide who made the two hours magical and perfect. We learned a lot and left the area with huge respect for the Geisha culture and community. So glad we included this tour in our two days in Kyoto. Note: It can get a little chilly as the sun sets so bring a light jacket. And be sure to buy a box of Ben's cookies before the tour departs...they were a wonderful post tour treat!
Highly Recommend!!! Nami is the Best!
