We had a great time with Olivia on our food tour. We were lucky enough to be the only people on tour that night which felt very special! There was an abundance of food and Olivia even purchased treats for us to take home. We also learned about history of Gion and Ponto-cho and a bit about Geiko and Maikos too. All in all, an incredible time, thanks again Olivia!
