Rimiko is truly amazing. She made my trip to Kanazawa absolutely delightful and she was very helpful every step of the way. The best part was when she initiated contact to discuss expectations and what you wanted to see and experience. Other guides do this last minute but with her she did it way advance. During the tour she explained things well and overall she made the whole experience so wonderful that I plan to stay longer in Kanazawa next time. Value for money 100% Value for experience 100% She's definitely my favourite guide.
we loved visiting Kanazawa and mostly due to this tour . Selda, our guide, was super knowledgeable, patient and accommodating to our needs. 100% recommend it.
our guide Akari, meaning light, was exactly that. Brought light to our day, some history of samurai and geisha and logistics getting around, seeing our sights and trying new things! also excellent photographer! gardens and castle were awesome!
Rimiko was a wonderful insightful guide! we visited both famous and hidden gems. Highly reccomended!
great experience! our guide Criselda was perfect and showed us all the attractions of the city and especially places that were out of the ordinary and 100% adapted to what we wanted. I wish everyone could experience such a great adventure!
A wonderful day with our guide. The communication beforehand was excellent and he listened to our wishes and expectations. This made for a wonderful day.
Selda was an excellent guide. We highly recommend her if you are American for her strong English speaking ability. We were guided through the Samurai and Geisha districts on a rainy day. We also visited a few local shops, the Omicho market, and had a local lunch. We finished out with the Kenrokuen garden and castle wall. It feels like we packed a lot into a single day.
We had the pleasure of having Rimiko san as our tour guide in Kanazawa. She is not only a professional and informative tour guide, but a kind, patient, and friendly person as well. While we did lot of walking and learning about the history of Kanazawa, she was always attentive to our desires. For a short 1-day trip, she did her best to help us get the most out of the city with perfect pace for our family of seven including two small kids. She also knows the best spots to get good photos for our memories and the pictures are a delight. I strongly recommend her to anyone wanting to see and experience Kanazawa. Thank you Rimiko san!
WORST experience ever 😠, I booked and received a confirmation email. The night before I had to call the helpline only to be told my trip was canceled because they could not find a guide. Should not have confirmed my trip if they didn't have a guide available. Ruined our stay in Kanazawa as we only had one day
