Our guide was so insightful .. he even showed us a few places to eat that were superb! We were able to see the geisha and meiko traveling to work through the streets. It was well worth it.

It was simply lovely to see a young Maiko performing live, rather than through a screen. The event was beautifully organized, and there was more than enough to make it a truly memorable experience.

The Hop on Hop off bus is an excellent way to see Tokyo. I felt the commentary could have been a little more informative and it would be helpful if the music stopped whilst the commentary is in progress. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

The historic house with its interior gardens was uniquely beautiful, the women assisting with the kimono dressing and tour of the house were kind and knowledgeable. The tea ceremony included a good amount of education and the tea itself was superb. We are very happy to have participated in a tea ceremony with true tea masters and at a historic site in Kyoto, a highlight of our Japan trip!
