We learned a lot and it was a wonderful experience. Natsuki was a great tour guide friendly and helpful our taxi driver couldn't find meeting point and she waited for us. The teahouse introduction were great and they made us feel welcome. Our maiko was a sweet girl still learning gentle and kind. She is doing a great job keeping old traditions alive and teaching us. Thanks

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.

The guide was extremely professional, and both the guide and the priest were very friendly. The purification ceremony was both fascinating and well explained.
