Gion Tour with Kaiseki Meal in Kyoto at Night

Dining Experiences

Emma was amazing. Very knowledgeable about the history of the area, as well as Japanese literature and culture. It was a delight to walk Gion and see Geisha, Maiko, and the beautiful and historic buildings. We ended the evening with an exceptional meal at a local Kaiseki restaurant, where the service can only be described as fantastic. The food was well presented and flavorful, and Emma ensured communicated with the staff at each course and explained what we were eating, as well as how to traditionally enjoy it. The other members of our tour all found Emma to be knowledgeable, affable, and an excellent guide. Enjoy this tour, and ask for Emma!

Gion Tour with Kaiseki Meal in Kyoto at Night

Dining Experiences

One of the things on my Japan bucklist was to learn more about Japanese geisha so I booked this tour in the main geisha district - I thought it would be about right. On the tour we saw 3 Maiko and it was amazing! Our guide, Lauren, was great and shared so much information about Japanese culture, history, and tradition. The food was awesome and it was great to interact with other people in the group. Very rewarding - I can't recommend it highly enough, thanks for the tour Lauren!
