Reviews of Our Kanazawa Experiences

We did a full day trip walking through Kanazawa with our wonderful guide Loic. Kanazawa is beautifiul and it suited us perfectly to see many of its sights at our own pace. From the start Loic was so helpful suggesting the itinerary for morning and afternoon. He was very knowledgeable on Kanazawa and its culture and we learned a lot on our trip. He was also very friendly and entertaining and certainly made the enjoyment of the day all the more. We would definitely recommend Loic as a guide

Laila and Harumi are AMAZING! We got the opportunity to meet the both of them and they are both so down to earth! They are patient, informative, and understanding. We wholeheartedly enjoyed our tours from the both of them and the vibes they give. We appreciated everything they had to offer and we will always remember this trip to Japan thanks to them. ☺️

Akari, our tour guide, was great. She is very funny and, despite her young age, she knew a lot and made the day unforgettable for us. Thank you, Akari!

Akira was a great guide who shaped our tour to what we wanted to see mixed with some local craftsmen and good food along the way. She was very knowledgeable and had a delightful personality- great match for our family. It was a wonderful day exploring Kanazawa

Selda was an excellent guide. We highly recommend her if you are American for her strong English speaking ability. We were guided through the Samurai and Geisha districts on a rainy day. We also visited a few local shops, the Omicho market, and had a local lunch. We finished out with the Kenrokuen garden and castle wall. It feels like we packed a lot into a single day.
