    Great way to experience Kyoto’s Geisha culture. Deborah was informative, knowledgeable and friendly. Pace is suitable for any age. Learnt so much about life as a Geisha and really enjoyed being out in the evening.

    Not a good tour, complete waste of my money! At the first stop, I grabbed a water from the vending machine right beside the group. I turned around 5 seconds later and the group was gone! The tour guide (Shin) left me there - rude, and I would not recommend that tour or tour guide to anyone

  • Awesome Experience
