My reviews

    Akari really took a lot of time to make this tour an amazing one for us! We loved the walking tour she prepared for us and we would highly recommend enjoying Kanazawa with her. She showed us some beautiful places and hidden gems.

    Akari was very personable and knowledgeable and went above and beyond. This was a walking tour, using public transportation. But she picked us up at the port and drove us to our destinations before returning us to the port. As we are older, she walked at our pace. We didn't have to keep up with her, like with many tours. She explained things thoroughly as we walked and in the car. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Akari.
