Kanazawa

Tour was amazing, our guide Kana was super friendly and provided all the info in advance while on the way, so when you arrive you already know what to prioritize and have a map to go around easily. tour starts early but then, when you arrive, is not that crowded which is nice. Better to follow her recommendation and go to the observatory first, when I went after arrival was almost empty but one hour later it was super full and it continued like that the rest of the day. Lunch was great and nice opportunity to try a traditional lunch. Both places were honestly breathtaking and we were super lucky to have a super sunny day. Bus was also great and it honestly felt nice to not have to check 10 times the public info for transport to make sure I was going in the right direction :) . Overall I think the experience is definitely worth it if you are in the area!

Tuvimos una gran experiencia en el tour de Shirakawa-go, Kenrokuen y Higashi-Chaya. El ritmo fue un poco apresurado, pero era exactamente lo que necesitábamos para ver todos los puntos destacados en un solo día. También apreciamos mucho que el tour comenzara y terminara exactamente a tiempo. Muchas gracias a nuestro guía César por un tour muy completo, instrucciones claras y consejos útiles para hacer turismo. Hizo un gran trabajo manteniendo a todos a tiempo. Un saludo también a Ikeda-san, nuestro conductor de autobús, por conducir de forma segura a pesar de la fuerte nevada y por prestarnos amablemente su paraguas. El operador turístico también fue muy receptivo a nuestras preguntas en WhatsApp, lo que hizo que todo fuera más fluido. En general, un tour bien organizado y una excelente opción si quieres cubrir mucho en un solo día.

J'ai passé un excellent moment. Notre guide Keita a pris le temps de nous donner beaucoup d'informations de fond. Nous avons fait la visite d'une journée complète qui comprenait la peinture du Daruma, ce qui était une activité amusante et un excellent moyen de voir également des parties de Kanazawa. Je recommanderais sans hésiter cette visite.

The guide was very friendly and happy to answer our every question. It was interesting to see the almost forgotten Japanese crafts.

Karolina is an awesome guide. She is very knowledgeable and is very friendly and approachable. I highly recommend her.

The trip, the people, the places, the food – everything was so great. I just wish we had more time to explore deeper; time wasn't enough. Other than that, everything was great. I would definitely recommend this trip to everyone.

このツアーはとても楽しかったです。ツアーガイドのダニエルは知識が豊富で自信があり、私と他のゲストをとてもよく気遣ってくれました。金沢の内部を深く知りたい方には、この旅行を強くお勧めします。

The overall guided tour experience was excellent. Our guide, Daniel, not only took us to iconic traditional buildings and the teahouse district but also arranged visits to quieter, lesser-known parks and cultural sites. He also included a traditional handicraft experience, allowing us to take our creations home, which made the tour very engaging. His explanations were clear, especially regarding historical periods, where he converted Japanese eras into common calendar years for easier understanding. He also provided background stories for each location, adding cultural depth to the itinerary. Even when asked about additional cultural knowledge, the guide was able to explain clearly based on historical facts. The overall arrangement was thoughtful and seamless, making it suitable for travelers who wish to delve deeply into the local culture. Please note that the tour involves a significant amount of walking, so comfortable footwear is recommended.

What an amazing tour! Mike was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the towns and their history. Some of the small museums had very little information provided, but Mike was able to give us thorough explanations with engaging storytelling. We would never have found out about the wood carving village Inami, but it was such a great place to learn about local history and craft traditions. This tour provided very good value and never upcharged us or surprised us with unknown fees. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone looking to explore beyond Kanazawa.
