    Try to schedule this in a warm day. It was blustery and cold and we stood in shadows for long periods being very cold. Manuel was very knowledgeable but I think he could have been more sensitive to older people’s needs. He offered a bathroom break at the beginning and again at a pharmacy at the end where we finally got to warm up and buy some souvenirs.

    Detailed information and insights into the world of geiko and maiko. Being winter it got a little bit chilly as the sun went down, so dress warm.

    It was very informative. Melanie did a great job of giving us the history and making it real with anecdotes and fun facts. Recommend. We did spot a Maiko and several geikos but they were in taxis. If you want to see them shows are put on in the evening.
