"Selda is a very pleasant person and fantastic tour guide. She accommodated our requests and tailored the tour to our needs. Selda is very knowledgeable of all the places we visited and of course the Japanese culture. She also helped us with dinner table reservations in excellent restaurants. I can highly recommend a guided tour with Selda."

"Selda is an eloquent and knowledgeable guide who helped us make the most of our all too short visit to this lovely city. She has a lot of historical knowledge but is also easy to chat with about present-day Japan. She has good restaurant tips and even helped us make a reservation. "

"I was visiting Kanazawa on my own. Raphael was interested to know where my interests lay and adapted our three hour tour accordingly. Raphael has lived locally for a number of years, clearly understands the Japanese way of living, and the country’s and Kanazawa’s history. Not only did I learn a great deal over the tour but Raphael also directed me to other sites I might want to visit over the remainder of my stay, and recommended a number of restaurants. "

"Before we even met her, she gave us a great suggestion for dinner. Criselda took us to the highlights of Kanazawa. She explained the history, culture and her favorites. We covered a lot of ground but it felt personal and relaxed. She was patient and engaged. Trust all of her recommendations. "

"Lucy was a fantastic local host. It was terrible weather on the day of our 4hr tour but we took our time and learnt so much from her. Very knowledgeable insights into the Kanazawa way of life, then and now. We really enjoyed our time and were able to go back to visit some of our highlights again the next day. Highly recommend Lucy. "

"We enjoyed a lovely afternoon exploring Kanazawa with Nuria. She showed us some interesting sights which we would have never found ourselves as well as sharing lots of interesting facts about the city with us. We had a really lovely time and would recommend the tour! "

"Lucy was a great guide for an 8 hour tour and our family of 5 (college and high school kids) had a great experience. She is from France originally and has lived here for 6 years and has an interesting perspective of what life is like and a very thorough understanding of history of the area. She is thoughtful and very intelligent and we really enjoyed her in-depth explanation of many aspects of the city: garden, geisha life, sumarai, castle, gold leaf craft, craft museum, ninja museum. Weather was rainy and cold but the 8 hours flew by since we were all very interested in what she showed us and this beautiful and interesting city"

"Monse was an amazing guide! We covered most of Kanazawa in 3 hours. She was fantastic with my three kids and super helpful, capturing many family photos. It felt like a small town and she knew a lot of the people along the way. She was full of knowledge about the history and the hidden gems . One of the most organized and thorough tours I've been on - fantastic!"

"Lucy was excellent, ensuring we explored and discovered many hidden places of Kanazawa that we probably would not have found ourselves and if we did happen to stumble across them, we wouldn't know or understand what we were looking at. She was very good at tailoring the tour to our areas of interest and being a local was able to share interesting insights about life, culture and history of Kanazawa. We thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend. "

"Our tour with Lucy was fabulous! We didn't quite know where to start exploring Kanazawa and after our tour with Lucy we knew so much more about the city and what we could see and do. Lucy was so knowledgeable about Kanazawa and it's history. We really enjoyed the places that she shared with us and loved that she was happy to answer our many questions. Thank you Lucy!"
