It was a great experience! Shohei is really knowledgeable and funny. He brought us to wonderful places and explained to us the meaning and history behind them all. I would totally recommend this to anyone who is interested in visiting and learning about the Gion district.

Ted was an amazing guide, he was very informative, provided a great cultural background to the sites we visited, was engaging and given the fact that I was with my 12 year old son, he adapted the script to include my son into the conversations...great tour!
