My reviews

    We had a fantastic walking tour in Kanazawa around the Geisha District, and it was truly one of the highlights of our visit. Our guide, Karolina, was exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire experience. She explained the history, culture, and traditions of the Geisha districts in a clear and engaging way, bringing the area to life as we walked through it. Karolina was attentive, patient, and happy to answer questions, which made the tour feel both informative and personal. We left with a much deeper appreciation of Kanazawa’s heritage. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city.

    There was so much we wanted to see and I’m not sure how we would have accomplished it, if it wasn’t for our guide! And we received history and culture information along the way!

    We learned a lot. Not only about Kanazawa but also about Japan, the shrines and temples. The visit at the Geishahouse was great. Changed our perception of Giesha's.

    The tour was perfect for us. We visited Kenrokuen Garden and the Geisha district and learned a great deal about each of them. Karolina was a terrific guide. She is attentive, speaks perfect English, and knows a great deal about Kanazawa and Japanese culture more generally.
