Our hostess was so pleasant and calm. She was a joy to watch and gave us a personal experience. The location of the Garden tea room was a little far, but we enjoyed it!

A memorable cultual moment
We had a wonderful experience at the tea house with our 12 & 17 year old kids. Our guide Norrie was excellent and taught us many things about the tea ceremony that we had not known. The ceremony itself was beautiful, knowing how much effort is put into every element of the ceremony and witnessing it was moving. Your guide choses a cup for each person attending which I thought was a lovely detail.
