Kyoto Gion Geisha District Evening Walking Tour with English-Speaking Guide
High recommended Kyoto tour
Reviewed by: Changs Singapore, 2019/12/27Our guide, Ayu was awesome. She’s knowledgeable and friendly. Interesting tour to learn about geisha/ geiko & Gion history. We were lucky to see a Maiko-san at the end of the walking tour. This tour is highly recommended to all visiting Kyoto.

Good cultural experience!
Reviewed by: Travel love , 2019/12/15A great experience for our family. Nice to be in a old samurai house. Wide range of kimonos but for plus size it is tough. Very personal. Tea ceremony was fantastic and a great cultural experience

舞妓さんの声がもっと聞けたらよろしいおすのに。
Reviewed by: みほどん, 2019/12/10舞妓さんとお話し出来てよかったです！ランチのお料理もとても美味しかったです。残念だったのは、目の前に太い柱があったことと、可愛い舞妓さん声がBGMが大きかったのか、マイクの調子が悪かったのか席ではほとんど聞こえなかったことです。

充実した内容でした
Reviewed by: なおくん, 2019/12/09日本人の方は少ないのかなと想像しての参加ですが、日本人率100%でびっくりしました。お料理は正直、期待していませんでしたが京都の有名料亭のもので、なかなか豪華で充実した内容。とっても美味しく頂きました。追加のドリンク代も比較的リーズナブルな価格です。質問コーナーでは舞妓さんの私生活のことや、舞妓さんになった動機など直接色んな質問も出来て、舞妓さんや京文化に対する理解が一層深まって良かったです。挙手してのお座敷遊び体験も楽しそう。あっという間の1時間強ですね。

Kyoto Maiko Entertainment with All-You-Can-Drink Full Course Dinner & Photo Op
An amazing experience not to be missed!
Reviewed by: Jacqueline , 2019/12/09Dinner with a Maiko was the highlight of my trip to Japan. Meeting the Maiko and having the chance to interact with her was amazing. It is hard to believe that she was only 19 years old, as she exhibited both dignity and poise well beyond her years. The evening started with a dance performance from her followed by a question and answer session. She then sat down and talked to each individual table through an interpreter. I was amazed with the way she made everyone feel completely at ease in the conversation. We then played Tora Tora Tora - which is a Japanese drinking game and finally she finished the night with another dance. The food we were served was absolutely delicious and the hostesses who greeted and served us were all wonderfully welcoming and delightful in their own right. All in all, this evening was one that I will remember for a long time to come.

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op
A charming afternoon with a Maiko
Reviewed by: Chris, 2019/12/09This was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Japan. The host was very charming. We were invited into and treated to tea and snacks as the Maiko performed a beautiful dance. Initially I was afraid the language barrier would have sullied the experience but her English was quite good! We shared tid bits about our lives as did she. We played games and laughed and in what seemed like no time at all our time was up. Most definitely an experience every person traveling to Japan should live.

舞妓さんと一緒に体験プラン 舞鑑賞・記念撮影・お座敷遊び・食事付きなど選べる6プラン by 日本文化体験 庵an
ちょっと残念
Reviewed by: コアラ, 2019/12/07値段が値段だけに場所の雰囲気などは期待していませんでしが、雑居ビル内の１室で思った通りのセットアップ。
舞妓さんのパフォーマンスなどは、普段なかなか経験出来ないことだけに、良い体験をさせていただけたと思います。
ただ、5、6人のグループ参加の方々が30分遅れで入場してきて、スタッフの方々が対応している間待たされたのが残念です。しかもそのグループの方々を参加させ、写真撮影などに時間を費やし、待ってる側としてはどうかな？と思いました。5分遅れならともかく、「時間厳守、10分前までに到着願います」と歌っていれば、30分遅れの方は不参加とするべきでは？

コストパフォーマンスよし。楽しかったです。
Reviewed by: あゆあ, 2019/12/04 舞妓さんの踊り、質問コーナー、お座敷遊び、写真撮影などが出来、楽しい一時を過ごせました。夕食付きで、お値段的にもお安いです。
私も勝手に思い込んでいたのですが場所がたぶん、食事処のような和風な感じのところでの開催かと思っていましたがビルの2階（１Ｆクリーニング店）
レンタル着物屋さんのような店舗です。
座席のＳ席へのランクアップが500円くらいなので私も付けましたが参加の方はほぼ付けるようで全6列の内、前から5列目くらいまでＳ席で席は指定されておらず早いもの順なのは如何なものかと思いました。
前のほうで見たい方、撮りたい方はＳ席＋早く入場できるように階段の下で待機された方が良いかと。
大学生の息子と共に参加しましたが、とっても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
今度、京都に来た際には本格的なお座敷を体験してみたくなったので、今回の参加は導入体験として良かったのでお勧めです。

Kyoto Maiko Entertainment with Optional Meal
A wonderful afternoon with a lovely performance by a Maiko!
Reviewed by: Tammy Rak, 2019/11/29Initially, I had booked the Saturday show but it was unavailable. Veltra was able to let me know and gave me a couple of different options to choose from as an alternative. I was able to change my reservation to the Sunday lunch. I would recommend paying extra for the front row and for the lunch. The lunch was a nice selection of Kyoto cuisine. Also, if you get sake, the Maiko will serve it to you. The Maiko was lovely and charming. Her performances were breathtaking and she was very thorough with her answers to out questions. It was also fun playing games with her. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend it if you have a couple of hours to spare.

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op
Very appreciate
Reviewed by: Mono, 2019/11/24I book for 9 people and got 2 Maiko. 1 maiko name Tomie is very good in English she teach us play a game and answer our questions very clear. The owner is good in English too. We got a warm welcome and best experience everyone love it. Tea is quite bitter but they have a Japanese sweet that you can share with your friends. And you have permission to take a picture all times. After tea ceremony they come to send you and take a picture in front of a restaurant.
You can follow google map from VELTRA website and please save a picture of the restaurant because they don’t have a name in English and cannot search in google map apps

しかし、30分以上早く行って外で待っていたが並んでなかったためA席のラストでした。早く行った方は階段前で並ぶ事をオススメします。

Kyoto Private Dinner at Historical Teahouse with Maiko Dance Show
Amazing cultural experience
Reviewed by: American Tourists , 2019/11/13We knew that we were going to have an amazing cultural experience from the moment we arrived.
We were greeted by our hostess from the moment of our arrival. She was very pleasant, informative and flexible. We arrived nearly 30 minutes before expected therefore our hostess served us tea and took us on a tour of the house.
The highlight of the evening was meeting the Kyoto Maiko. Our group was allowed to ask questions and we were very surprised to learn that she was only 16 years old. Her level of grace, elegance and maturity far exceeded her years. My favorite part of the evening was learning the traditional games and the cultural dance was exceptionally beautiful.
The dinner was very traditional and also exceptionally tasty.
I highly recommend this tour for a truly culturally enriching evening.
Thank you for coming to Tondaya. We are really glad to have such a fantastic review from you .And moreover you enjoyed everything here . We would like to say "Thank you very much again !!" Hope see you again .

Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus
Too expensive for such a performance
Reviewed by: Azadeh Iranian, 2019/11/04The geisha was so amateur, she was shaking while dancing. Nobody explained the way we should eat the traditional food.
On the way back, the tour leader was just speaking Japanese and didn’t care about foreigners attendants. She was speaking Japanese all the way back, and sometimes they were laughing or clapping and we as foreigners just waiting for some explanations but nothing.
In my idea it was a dishonor to non-Japanese guest. The tour provider company should provide the same Facilities for all guests. In General it was an expensive activity with poor facilities!

Great Maiko Experience!
Reviewed by: Nat W. , 2019/11/02I had a fantastic time transforming as a Maiko! The location of the place is fantastic, right in the heart of traditional Kyoto City giving you a nostalgic vibe. The facility is nice and clean. The welcoming lady was so nice and pretty. I’ve always been obsessed with geisha and so grateful for this experience. I got to walk around the area for a while and so many people wanted to take pictures of me. I’d be so excited too to see ones walking on the street even though they might not be the real ones. Thank you so much for fulfilling my wish and a wonderful experience!

Kyoto Maiko Makeover and Samurai Dress-up Experience with Optional Stroll Plan
A fantastic experience!!!
Reviewed by: Victoria , 2019/10/30When we arrived to the studio the place was lovely, super clean and the personnel was very nice and professional. The atmosphere was welcoming we were treated very well, the lady that did my makeup was careful and very nice, same thing with my hair.
I loved to see me becoming a legendary Maiko ibthibk the process is beautiful, fulfilled definitely a dream, I got yo choose from tens of Kimono options of a really good quality and variety of colors I could not decide!!!
Finally I picked up my favorite lila tone and the process of dressing is also super exciting, plus you are in front of a big mirror and you almost think it is the real deal, you are like in a Geisha training house!!!! ai think it is really magical.
The photo session was great, very professional and super cute with adequate lighting and good advices I enjoyed that very much the interior location was perfect and the exterior one in a little garden was fantastic.
Finally we had around 45 minutes to walk along the street taking care that the kimono is not damaged or wet of course, and i was a bit shy in the beginning but everyone's reaction was so nice that i just let go and enjoyed the whole experience to the most i took like a hundred pictures with my phone and people were asking to take pictures with us it was so nice.
When we came back the photo book was ready and the quality of the pictures were fantastic. Recommended 100% to everyone this is a very beautiful experience.... once in a lifetime experience!
I didn't want to leave I think, the location is fantastic on the center of the Gion district. Do it, I would actually do it again if I have the chance!!
