Review for: 5-hour Private Walking Tour (Select 1-8 Travelers)

This was an amazing tour Megumi was so lovely and so accommodating she went above and beyond to help us with everything, the places we wanted to see, souvenirs we wanted to buy and even some shopping items. We got to see the Geisha district the samurai district and go inside the samurai house, the castle and the gardens. Also got to try some amazing seafood at the fish market. Best tour guide honestly. Would highly recommend. 🥰

We had an excellent experience with our guide Sho! He was so very friendly and worked with us to create an itinerary that matched what we wanted to see as well as our culinary interests, since we booked a tour over lunch. We particularly enjoyed sharing a meal with him, as he introduced us to yakiniku!

The best way to see Kanazawa! We walked a ton but hit most of the highlights of the city, including the geisha and samurai districts, Kanazawa Castle, the market, and the 21st Century Museum. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and able to answer almost all of our (very many) questions! Totally worth doing.

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!

I enjoyed my half day tour of Kanazawa with Rimiko. Despite the challenges posed by the heavy rain and snow, I was able to see what I was hoping to while in the city thanks to Rimiko’s guidance. She was efficient, knowledgeable and friendly and that made for an enjoyable time visiting Kanazawa in the time that I had.

Our guide Megumi was FANTASTIC. She had an amazing route to visit all the main sites of Kanazawa, and she was able to share the history and facts of each place we visited. I would highly recommend booking this tour and requesting Megumi as a guide

We had a fantastic day with Saki, who gave us a wealth of insight into Kanazawa and Japanese history. She was very friendly and accommodating, and she catered to our requests (we clarified our interests beforehand via a short survey and also directly with Saki via WhatsApp). She also introduced us to the Japanese language, and we went out for sushi together at our request—now we know how it's done! :) We would book a tour through this provider again.
