Sho was an excellent tour guide! He was standing in the lobby with his name tag waiting for us as promised. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and entertaining. We absolutely enjoyed all of our time with him and would gladly take another tour with him again. 10 out of 10.

A great evening tour of a shrine, the Geisha district and neighboring areas. Loic frim France (having lived in Kanazawa for 15+ years) was knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend.

Our three hour walking tour of Kanazawa provided us with the perfect context to better understand the city and its history. Our tour guide Loic was both lively and highly informed. Touring the geisha district and the castle gardens, we learned a lot and saved a bunch of bookmarks to head back to and explore further with our remaining time here in the city. Thank you!
