Even though it was absolutely pouring rain, Pam greeted us with the biggest smile and the warmest energy. She happily took us through Gion and the geisha districts, sharing incredible stories and so much history along the way. We learned more in a few hours than we ever expected. Her personality was a beam of light on a very wet evening - kind, patient, and full of life. Pam made our Kyoto experience unforgettable.
