I didn’t speak Japanese, but they kindly guided me through a translator. They directly helped with the difficult parts, let me practice several times until my work turned out perfectly, and praised me a lot, which gave me confidence. It was an amazing experience, truly worth every yen. I highly recommend it!

We had a truly valuable and unforgettable experience. Our guide Akari was absolutely wonderful — very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The dinner was incredibly generous with a wide variety of delicious dishes. The geisha experience itself was amazing; we had the chance to ask all the questions we were curious about and learned so much. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting!

This tour was the highlight of our time in Kyoto! Akari was a great and knowledgeable guide and the maiko, Mi-chan, was quite friendly and a great performer. She was also a good sport, answering all 1,000 of our questions. The food was also delicious. 10/10, would definitely recommend this experience!

This was a very good tour to understand the Gion district and the Gei-ko or Geisha community. Our guide brought us around various points of interest and explained the relevance of each one as well as providing a valuable insight into the history and purpose of the Geiko. She also guided us through the dinner and understanding of the two dances performed by the Maiko (trainee Gei-ko). What was special was the opportunity to ask the Maiko questions and hear her answers. Our guide did an excellent job of interpretation for us to make this happen. It was really valuable to meet the Maiko as a person and hear about her motivation and what is important for her. A very enjoyable and educational evening.
