We learned a lot and it was a wonderful experience. Natsuki was a great tour guide friendly and helpful our taxi driver couldn't find meeting point and she waited for us. The teahouse introduction were great and they made us feel welcome. Our maiko was a sweet girl still learning gentle and kind. She is doing a great job keeping old traditions alive and teaching us. Thanks

A truly unique experience that's definitely worth your time! Masaki-san's performance was absolutely amazing, and the interactive game made the experience even more memorable. Our guide, Sara, was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and lovely throughout the entire experience. Highly recommended!

Such a beautiful experience. Maiko-san was a gorgeous, gracious and talented young lady. It was such a wonderful opportunity to be able to ask Maiko-san questions about her life as a Maiko. You will be mesmerised by this very special occasion. Highly recommended.

Our guide, Kanami-san was very helpful and her english was very good too. Our Maiko-san's show was fascinating. She was performing very professionally. This event was the cherry on the top for us in Kyoto!
