Review for: Dinner with Maiko in a traditional Kyoto style restaurant Tour

Wow, what an experience. After a tour of Gion, we enjoyed a truly delicious and authentic 10-course meal, and as a highlight, we had a Maiko visit us. She provided very impressive insights into her daily life, kindly answered our questions. She danced for us, and we played a game together. By far the most memorable experience of our trip to Japan! Highly recommended!

Review for: Dinner with Maiko in a traditional Kyoto style restaurant Tour

This was such an amazing excursion, I think everyone should have this on their Kyoto itinerary. Hikari was the sweetest guide and provided an extremely immersive and personalized experience. The additional history lesson of the area was such a nice touch. The food was incredible and the Maiko/Geiko was so personable and kind, — despite the language barrier (which Hikari was able to help us bridge). If you want to have the pleasure of seeing a Geiko perform and take a picture with her, this is the best thing you can book.

The experience was a highlight of my Japan trip. The guide (Yusuke) was extremely knowledgeable and facilitated the group mingling and enjoying the delicious dinner. The maiko was superb, graceful and fun and just a pleasure to watch.

This is a highly recommended experience with lots of culture, laughs, and delightful food and drink. Our Maiko was exceptionally talented, and our guide had perfect English and Japanese translations. The guided tour was very good, and it helped us to learn a lot before meeting our Maiko. the unlimited drinks were a hit, and we met others from all over the word in our 7-person group.

Nobu was an amazing tour guide and we had the most enjoyable experience listening to her explain the pieces of history and the area we were in. The restaurant she took us to was delicious and the Geiko that entertained us was so fun and made everything lovely and highlight of my trip to Japan!
