My 10-year-old and I loved our private tour with Criselda, she was so knowledgeable and kind and patient, and had so many good stories! We would definitely recommend this experience.

Cristella was a wonderful host, the best tour yet in Japan. Incredibly knowledgeable, conversation was fluid and natural. And she opened our eyes to Kanazawas beautiful districts, gardens, food and culture. If we return we would be sure to contact Cristella again. Highly recommend. Thank you for everything!
