Reviews of Our Kanazawa Experiences

Shota-san was a delightful and engaging guide for the morning in Kanazawa that we spent with him. Knowledgeable about the city and its history, he also knew to take us into some residential areas where we were well away from the herd of tourists. We got a great deal from him and it was a real pleasure being with such an agreeable person for those hours. Of course, his excellent command of idiomatic English was a major asset to understanding. I would easily recommend him to anyone visiting Kanazawa.

This was an excellent tour and Marina did a great job providing us with a local experience. We requested a “quick” detour into Omicho market and she was accommodating. The pace was just right throughout.

Highly recommend this tour for an authentic and fascinating exploration of Kanazawa. Harumi-san took us everywhere we wanted to go and to some secret hidden gems, away from the main streets. She really made our experience so personal and shared her warmth and knowledge freely. An absolute must for anybody visiting this fantastic city.

Our guide, Katie, was so kind and adjusted our tour to suit our interests. It did not take long into the tour before Katie felt like a long time friend and she made us at ease asking questions.
