Guidekin's take

A guided Gion walk pairs with a maiko show, time for questions and a traditional Japanese game.

Japanese tea and snacks are included; children under six cannot join, and the meeting point is the Statue of Izumo-no-Okuni. 4.96 from 149 reviews at €120 per person for 1h–2h.

In our comparison: #3 of 11 in Geisha & Gion Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
