I recently went on the 'A Half Day in Kanazawa with A Local' tour and it was an excellent experience. Our tour guide, Jorge, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He touched base with us ahead of the tour to ensure he designed the right itinerary for us, and his attention to detail really showed during the tour. Despite the wet weather and snow, and the new year closures, Jorge did his best to give us a great half day experience across the key highlights of Kanazawa, including the Kenroku-en gardens, Kanazawa Castle, and the geisha districts. I would highly recommend this tour and Jorge as a guide to anyone visiting Kanazawa.

George was a fantastic tour guide! He was very friendly and attentive, and he did a great job showing us around Kanazawa despite the snow and rain. We really appreciated his efforts to make the most of our half-day tour, even though many places were closed due to the new year. We would highly recommend George to anyone looking for a tour guide in Kanazawa.

We enjoyed 4 hours with Maiko who has great knowledge of Kanazawa. She had great knowledge of local history, culture and local attractions. She was very accommodating of our interests and desires to modify the itinerary on the fly. We found her so approachable, conversational, and enjoyable. We particularly enjoyed the gardens and fish market; she also took us to a few additional shrines and booked us a tour of the ninja temple. Needless to say, despite the on and off rain showers, we were delighted to have made her acquaintance and have her as our guide.
