This guide was considerate and waited for late comers to show up. However, the tour was not prepared well, because there were too many uninteresting stops with no relevance to the actual tour locations. The guru ran out of time and rushed through the last 2 or 3 segments of the tour, which got me lost as a result! I had to complete the tour alone in the dark and find my own way back to the subway. Not nice.

Really enjoyable night tour around Kyoto's gion districts. Learned a lot about the history of the place and was lucky to see a few geisha too.

Clara tiene muy buen discurso con historias interesantes. Todo está muy bien hilado. El recorrido es muy agradable. El tour dura lo justo. No se hace ni largo ni corto. Un tour esencial que disfrute.

Ada did a great job. She used a microphone cum speaker for our rather large group of 20. She clearly delved into the history of the courtesans (maiko/geiko) and everything related to these artistes. Her route was interesting, passing some "tea houses" that are not easily recognized. We were fortunate in getting to view about 8 such maiko/geiko. We appreciated the guidance not to take their pictures, but just take in their kinomos.
