Quioto: Tour Gastronômico com Gueixas e Maikos: Uma Experiência Cultural Íntima

I wanted a more private experience meeting a Maiko, so I joined a small group tour. However, I was the only guest that day, so it truly became a private tour haha. Josh was an English-fluent, friendly, and highly knowledgeable guide about Kyoto. Walking through the Gion district, I was able to listen to explanations about the architecture and historical background. After that, we moved to a restaurant for a light meal and drinks, but the meal was simple and ordinary haha. Rather than focusing on the meal, I would suggest focusing more on meeting the Maiko. The Maiko performs a few dances, you can play games together, and have a personal conversation. She is very lovely.

Wow, what an experience. After a tour of Gion, we enjoyed a truly good, authentic 10-course meal and, as a highlight, received a Maiko as a visitor. She gave very impressive insights into her daily life and 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!

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.

Hikari fue nuestra guía y fue fabulosa y agradable. Realmente disfrutamos la cena y la compañía. Además, conocer a una Maiko en formación fue un verdadero placer, hicimos muchas preguntas y fueron muy honestas, lo cual fue fabuloso. ¡Qué gran experiencia, única en la vida!

The guide Peco was very good, hardworking, passionate, knowledgeable, friendly, and very energetic. Maiko was fantastic and interacted with us. We enjoyed the whole evening with food, drinks, and entertainment.

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 world in our 7-person group.

Nobu war eine fantastische Reiseleiterin und wir hatten eine äußerst angenehme Erfahrung, als wir ihren Erklärungen zu den historischen Stätten und der Gegend, in der wir uns befanden, lauschten. Das Restaurant, in das sie uns mitnahm, war köstlich, und die Geiko, die uns unterhielt, war so unterhaltsam und machte alles wunderbar – ein Höhepunkt meiner Japanreise!

Love this experience. Our tour guide Josh was very nice and the tour was very well organized! Meeting with Maiko was a lovely and unique experience. The small group setting was great and it is a very special experience that is well worth doing. I would recommend everyone not to miss this!

This was the best part of my trip to Japan. The guide was so informative, funny, and kind. The meal was fantastic, but the best part was meeting the Maiko and having a chance to talk with her, take photos, and even play a traditional game!
