京都・奈良日帰りツアー 清水寺+伏見稲荷大社+奈良公園へご案内<大阪発着/日本語・中国語or英語>

愉快的旅行

Reviewed by: Grace

導遊一路認真的解說,讓我們的這次旅行充滿了美好的回憶。因為道路擁塞,導致返回大阪的時間delay,我們原本預訂的餐廳無法準時到達,感謝崔海花導遊幫我們聯絡餐廳變更時間,她是一位非常專業和helpful的導遊。

Summer Beer Garden with Unlimited Drinks and Maiko Dance Performance in Gion

Great experience, great price

Reviewed by: Stephanie

This was a great activity. The food and beer was delicious and filling and the entertainment was fantastic. We were able to talk with our Maiko for a few minutes and take a picture with her after her performance. We did not speak very much Japanese (only the very basics), but that did not diminish our experience. We had a great time, and it was nice we didn't have to spend a ton of money on one dinner like some other activities that are available with maiko. I would definitely recommend this if you'd like to meet a maiko and see her perform.

Summer Beer Garden with Unlimited Drinks and Maiko Dance Performance in Gion

A highlight of my trip

Reviewed by: natasha

great unique experience! I lived in Japan for 4 years and this was something I never got to do.

Maiko spoke good English, which was a huge relief and surprise. Dance was cool, food was good, and the all you can drink alcohol was too much fun.

Thank you for coming the beer garden dinner the other day.
I was worried about meal(spicy beef hot pot dish), because we were not sure if you will like it.
But we are very glad to hear that!
We hold the beer garden dinner every summer season and look forward to seeing you again.

Best regards

Kyoto Evening Cultural Tour in Gion with Traditional Performances & Tea Ceremony

Interesting

Reviewed by: Anait. Great Britain

Well organised event. Variety of activities which brought us closer to understanding Japanese culture- tea ceremonies, concert which included geisha dancing, playing different musical instruments, theatre and even ikebana arranging.
Zen-buddist dinner was good. Pick up and drop off was organised very well. We felt comfortable and looked after. Recommended.

Kyoto Evening Cultural Tour in Gion with Traditional Performances & Tea Ceremony

Lots of information, very enjoyable experience

Reviewed by: Ben

Very well organised tour, met in hotel by very friendly staff and taken to the Maiko performance. Was a good performance with a good overview of different cultural activities (Tea Ceremony, Plays etc.) but was definitely designed for tourists. Bit of a shame that everyone was taking photos and videos which distracted from the show which is probably our only criticism of the tour.

Then followed by a very good walking tour through Gion learning lots of information about the district, before having a delicious dinner. Highly recommend taking this tour if in Kyoto

Kyoto Evening Cultural Tour in Gion with Traditional Performances & Tea Ceremony

Una experiencia hermosa!

Reviewed by: Gisela

Hay que ser puntual porque arranca en un teatro, el conjunto de obras muestran costumbres típicas: arreglos florales, ceremonia del té, música y cierra con danzas típicas hechas por maikos: aspirantes a geishas.
Es muy interesante!
La cena deliciosa y la verdad que muy abundante también, muy amables todos.
La ceremonia del té privada es reducido en pasos pero muy interesante también, es una costumbre que está en vías de extensión lamentablemente.
Todos son muy coordiales y muy serviciales la verdad que la pasamos muy bien

Kyoto Evening Cultural Tour in Gion with Traditional Performances & Tea Ceremony

Fantastic night

Reviewed by: Alan

We were brought around Gion by a very pleasant and friendly guide, starting with a performance of traditional Japanese theatre crafts. This was very engaging and a good way to get the true scope of Japanese theatre. Afterwards we had a very enchanting walking tour through Gion, ending with a delicious meal and tea ceremony in one of Gion's restaurants. The teahouse was very historical and even had a small museum, which the staff guided us around. Our guide offered to arrange transport back to our accomodation, but we wished to walk around Gion for another while so she allowed us to do so. Our group had only around several people, which meant we had a very intimate experience. We would highly reccomend.

A cultural experience

Reviewed by: AZQ

A very enjoyable tour of Gion and watching the Geisha dance. We enjoyed the dinner which was vegetarian a nice break after eating a lot of sushi and fish. The tea ceremony was the highlight conducted in a secluded room at the back of the house. We did this tour with a 3 year old and he enjoyed it and the staff very accommodating.
