What you can expect

Kyoto is famed for its shrines and temples, which are full of countless unique stories that will astonish you, making you fall in love with and connect yourself to their ancient history. Join a walking tour to learn about the traditions of being a geisha or geiko.

The mysterious world of a geisha can seem exclusive and challenging to discover, but this immersive experience with a geisha show and lunch or take a tea break will give you the opportunity to talk with Maiko,
a geisha apprentice in Japan.

In the first half of the tour, walk around Gion with your guide. Learn the inner workings of this traditional lifestyle, including the history, rituals, and nuances of the art form.
