Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Yoji did a wonderful job showing and explaining the history of Kanazawa to us. Highly recommend!"
"We are a family of five including a baby, and were so lucky to have Yoji as our guide on our first day in Kanazawa. He showed us his hometown, and got a good overview of the city! We walked some beautiful streets outside the busiest tourist spots and went to some local gems we returned to the following days. He has a lot of knowledge about the history and culture, was fun and relaxed to be around and was flexible around the kids needs during the day. Would definetly recommend him to be your guide in Kanazawa!"
"Selda was super friendly and knowledgeable - lots of fun facts for the kids and finding some good snacks when we needed a rest. Would highly recommend booking a tour with Selda!"
"Had an excellent personalised samurai and orientation tour of Kanazawa greatest evening. Monse was lovely and had a real insight into japan and japanese culture from living and studying here. Thoroughly recommended"
"Selda gave us a tour of city with stops in all four corners. She was very knowledgeable in the history of city as well as contemporary culture. Highly recommend "
"Lucy is the best! Extensive knowledge, excellent communication skills, and a desire to show as much as possible. We spent 3 hours exploring most interesting places. Time flew and although there was a fair amount of walking we knew we seeing and hearing something special - Lucy doesn’t just regurgitate facts about history but puts her own warm personal touch on them with a depth of feeling that is difficult to describe. Highly appreciated and highly recommended!"
"Lucy was PHENOMENAL! My wife and I spent the day with Lucy on the Ultimate Kanazawa tour and left wishing we could spend more time in this beautiful City. We learned so much from Lucy about Kanazawa and its history and we are so grateful that Lucy was able to answer so many of our questions. It was clear to us that Lucy loves her City and she was so enthusiastic to share her knowledge and experiences with us. We also appreciated the great conversation with her as we were walking between spots and over lunch, and by the end of the day, we felt like we were saying goodbye to a new friend. Thank you Lucy for making Kanazawa a true highlight of our time in Japan."
"We had an amazing tour with Yoji. He is very professional and communicated with us prior to the tour. On the tour he is very knowledgeable with interesting stories and information. He was also very accommodating to our interests and pace. Would highly recommend Yoji."
"I had a lovely evening with Selda wandering around the geiko districts of Kanazawa followed by some yakitori. Selda was so knowledgeable and the conversation was easy and relaxed. It was like walking with a friend. I would highly recommend "
"Selda is a wonderful guide. She is knowledgeable of history, current events and is well spoken. It was a very interesting outing. "
