White Ring Tour group has a superstar team!This is my second time visiting the same listed destinations except from a different departure city and the experience this time round was a 5 star! Both guides were super informative about each destination and they took great care with sharing tidbits of information that are very helpful. The lunch was truly an authentic experience and very exclusive to the tour group. Size of the tour group was a comfortable number and seats on the bus are actually assigned which made things very organized and orderly. Plenty of time assigned for self-exploration. Highly recommended and will join any tour organized by the White Ring group!

We had the most amazing guide for this tour, Yasushi, who made the day so enjoyable and relaxing. He gave us great and valuable information on the bus so we could have as much time to ourselves in Shirakawa-go once we arrived. His local food recommendations were spot on, some of the best food we have had. The gardens were beautiful and the craft sessions were a lot of fun and something a bit different and special to add to our trip. Highly recommend this tour.

I had an absolutely brilliant time during this tour! Our tour guide was very insightful, knowledgeable, and knew the locals well! We were able to try some local handmade sweets as well as warm tea for free, while searching for all the little kittens around Inami! Stunning history and views. I'd highly recommend. The transfer for me heading from Kanazawa to Takayama was incredibly easy. They just took my bags to the other bus for me, I didnt have to lift a finger! I'd say the only con for me is booking with Klook, you annoyingly can't just book one ticket so I had to buy 1 adult and 1 child ticket even though it was just me :( so for any solo travellers reading this I'd recommend booking directly with the tour guide company instead for a better deal!

Here’s a polished version you could post as a review: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful private walking tour in Kanazawa with our guide, Akari. The experience felt truly personalised and we loved being able to shape the tour around our interests. Akari was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and such a delight to spend time with; her eagerness to share insights and answer our questions really deepened our understanding of the culture and sights. Having that context made everything so much more meaningful. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kanazawa!

We had a wonderful experience with our driver +1 during our Shirakawago and Takayama trip today. Mr. Abdul and Moiz were very friendly, flexible with our schedule, and extremely patient with us. Their warm attitude made the journey comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you for the great service!

when booked I expected 3 trains total. the transportation was changed to bus and one train. being a train lover and for the cost I was a little disappointed. that was over shadowed by how wonderful the tour was, the guide, driver, and the experience were exceptional. views were beautiful, train ride was so pretty, guide gave a lot of detailed explanation and pointed out things we would have missed. a highlight was seeing a Serow! the monkeys hid so I didn't see those, but they are often seen. I got tons of fantastic pictures and a very good ramen lunch at the station then some cheese cake that was so fantastic. I can only recommend that this trip is not to be missed. you can't help but have a good time and the guides for this company, I went on 3 experiences with them, and I run tours back home, the guides here are exceptional. the station at both kanazawa and the onsen town have stamps for the collectors. the footbath was a great way to wrap up the onsen town tour.

Katie was amazing. She was able to take us through Kanazawa and really show us the culture of the city. My family and I enjoyed the knowledge and history of the geisha district, Samurai residences, Omicho Market. Katie shared a croquette location at the market that i will NEVER forget!! Also, don't forget the gold leaf ice cream!
