Reviews
Our guide Sho was very knowledgeable and thorough for our day. We saw many beautiful areas in Kanazawa even though it was rainy, windy and very cold. Our guide lifted our spirits and we had a great time.
We had a great day in Kanazawa. Our guide Akari was well prepared and her English skills were excellent. We got to see many beautiful and interesting places and we were also recommended a restaurant for dinner that was fantastic. Akari knew a lot about the area and the Japanese culture, and she answered our many questions in the best way.
Rimi was very knowledgeable and showed us the major sites of Kanazawa. Our favorites were the tea house, the golden leaf ice cream shop, the samurai house, and the garden. Amazing and unforgettable tour.
Kanazawa is a very interesting city, and the tour covers all the must-see areas. Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable. Individual requests were accommodated.
Harumi was a great host and we wished the tour to have continued with days! She is very friendly, charming, knowledgeable and it was a real pleasure to spend the day with her. Thank you again Harumi and we hope to see you again! Julie, Rie and Vladimir
We only had one day in Kanazawa and we’re trying to see it all. Our guide organised the day perfectly. We had a great time.
