Kindly be at the meeting point at least 10 minutes before the stated meeting time. Our tour guides will only wait a maximum of 10 minutes before proceeding to the next stop.
If you are headed to the meeting point, we would like to stress that heavy traffic in the morning is expected, and can vary greatly when compared to the travel time stated in navigation apps (e.g. Google Maps, Waze, etc.). Please make sure to consider leaving with enough time to reach your destination.
Consideration for the Maiko/Geiko: Kindly be respectful and considerate when photographing Geiko and Maiko if you encounter them in Kyoto. Please remember to keep a distance and avoid interrupting their daily lives. We recommend using a longer lens, giving them space, and if they come close, stepping out of their path and offering a smile, a quick bow, and a thank you.
