(1133)
2-hour evening walking tour of Kyoto's Gion district led by a local English-speaking guide, covering the history and culture of geisha and maiko through visits to Hanami-koji Street, Gion Shinbashi, Yasaka Shrine, Minamiza Theater, and Gion Corner.
Daniel is amazing. He clear to understand, very knowledgable, paused often to ask if I was confused and needed more explanation or had any questions. He made sure I also respected Geiko’s and Meiko’s if we bumped into one.

Fantastic Historical Tour with a Very Knowledgeable Guide
We had such a great time on this tour and Manuel was a fantastic guide! We had a small group so we were able to ask lots of questions and Iearned a lot about the history or the arts in Kyoto and about Geisha. Manuel was incredibly knowledgeable and you could see that he has a really keen interest in geisha culture. I also really appreciated that he explained what modern geikos and maikos lives are like. I can definitely recommend this tour!
