Tour description

Discover the captivating culture of the Geisha on our Kyoto night walking tour. Our local guides will show you this world full of fascinating stories, where elegance and grace come to life.

Learn in depth what lies behind these beautiful women, and learn part of their lives. Do not stay with the movie Memories of a Geisha since the content shown in the movie is mostly fictitious. In fact, the person telling the story made a video criticizing the author for inventing part of his story.

It is a must in your itinerary that you do not leave Japan without knowing about them.

We will wait for you!

Excellent tour. We learned a lot about Geishas and got the chance to respectfully see some on the street. To improve: in the confirmation email differentiate more between the meeting point of the tour in English from the one in Spanish. In the website is very clear but in the email not. Many people from the English one arrived to the spanish one by mistake and the guide Sergio was not friendly about it and even pointed us the wrong direction to find the English one.
