EXCELLENT Based on 198 reviews Waltraud Brogren2025-04-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our tour guide Kumiko was excellent in every way. She is knowledgeable about the history and made sure she answered all our questions. Kumiko also made a special effort to take us to a couple of shops for my personal interest. She was above and beyond accommodating and it was a delight to spend our day with her. Rod James2025-04-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ai Kawachi is an excellent tour guide. Her English was very good and she was very knowledgeable about every part of our tour. We were really impressed with her charts and documents she had with her. She was the best tour guide yet out of 5 guides. Peter Carey2025-04-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I've done private guided tours all over the world, and this has to be one of the best ones ever! We spent an absolutely amazing day with Nozomi-san exploring Kanazawa's geisha and samurai districts and learning so much about Japanese history, culture, and philosophy. Certainly a highlight of the day--and indeed the three weeks we've spent in country so far--was a our visit to a wagasa (umbrella) workshop, one of only ten or so remaining in Japan. There we met two wonderful ladies--experts in the rare and extraordinary craft of umbrella- and parasol-making--who taught us so much and entertained us like long-time friends. Nozomi-san is an exceptional guide--so knowledgable, ebullient, thoughtful, and sincere. Her credentials and background are extraordinary and include years attending Her Highness Empress Emerita Michiko as personal translator. Nozomi-san followed up our tour with dozens of great photos, articles of interest, and travel advice. We promise your tour with Nozomi-san will be one that you'll always remember. Many thanks to Nozomi-san and Kanazawa Tours for a fantastic day! Kai Barnes2025-04-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My fiancé and I want to give the biggest shoutout to Jorge! We have done a lot of traveling and tours over the years and Jorge was honestly THE BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER! He met us at our hotel and was about 20 min early. Every minute of the day was an absolute dream and we could not have imagined a better day in Kanazawa. From the very beginning, you could see and appreciate his rapport within the community. He so graciously tailored our day to our interests in addition to what was already planned. He was even able to arrange a tea ceremony for me when every where I had searched for was completely booked. It was a beautiful balance of us getting to know each other while simultaneously learning so much history throughout the day. Jorge’s expansive knowledge of Japan and Kanazawa is so precious and truly made the day memorable. We also really appreciated him taking us to areas that were less crowded. At the end of the day he even shared a long list of recommendations of things to do and restaurants in the area. We will forever cherish our day spent with Jorge in Kanazawa and would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you for absolutely everything! We will be dreaming of this day for years to come.

Half day tour around samurai and geisha districts with a very knowledgeable and gentle guide. We also spent time with an artisan making wagasa( umbrellas)- that was fascinating and so detailed and intricate. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you Mr Tetsuro Aiba. Rodney Thorpe2025-04-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great day with Sachiko. She personalised our day tour to suit our requests. She was very easy to talk to and understand and very knowledgeable about Kanazawa. She located interesting local craftspeople for us to visit and took us to place Ed we would never have found ourselves. The tour was arranged around the weather, so we enjoyed the spectacular Kenrokuen gardens in fine weather and then did our visits to indoor locations in the afternoon when it rained! She took us to great local cafes for lunch and afternoon tea. A very interesting and enjoyable day. K B (kbarna85)2025-04-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
