Tea Ceremony and Walking Tour - We had a great experience on our Todd with our guide Hide. We saw and learned a lot about the shrines, temples and history of Kyoto. The Tea Ceremony was very cool. Being able to experience an old custom, and make our own tea was amazing. I recommend our guide and the tour to anyone coming to Kyoto!
