Well done . A sweet dream tour of the Gion district and a very informative guide who has clearly done this numerous times . Definitely worth the money.

I enjoyed the trip and the information. Our guide was very good and was very informative. She had a great attitude and was very friendly.
It was a great tour but the group was a little to big to really hear everything, but again we really enjoyed it.
Thanks

Goin Geisha walking tour

Reviewed by: John Studdert, 2017/10/28

Our guide was excellent and tried very hard to give us all the experience that we signed up for, in the most appalling weather.
She deserves a medal, excellent job!!

Very interesting guided tour

Reviewed by: Sandrine, 2017/10/23

Eriko (Ellie) our guide was a smiling and very knowledgeable guide who had a lot of interesting info and anecdotes about geikos and maikos in Kyoto. She also had recommendations for restaurants and other tips at the end of the visit. The tour started on time and ran smoothly.

Intresting

Reviewed by: Dina, 2017/10/11

It was interesting for most of us. Children under 18 were less interested. We only saw Mariko in the end for 1 second so were disappointed.. But it's not their fault. Eli was great. My only remark is that the meeting point does not exist on Google map and it was difficult to find them.

Overall nice, great instructer, too many people

Reviewed by: Adi, 2017/10/01

The tour was overall good and definitely worth the price. Our instructer was great, very professional and nice. However, the group was too large and together with cars passing by, it was often hard to hear. I suggest to stop the explanations for a moment when cars/motorcycles pass by

Provides a nice overview of the Gaico subculture and walks you around their area. Our guide Mia had an outstanding English and was very funny.
