What Our Customers Say
EXCELLENT Based on 158 reviews Lesley Gibbons2025-02-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic half-day private tour in Kanazawa, despite the freezing weather! Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also funny and engaging, making the cold much more bearable. We started at Kenrokuen Park, which was stunning even in winter, with its iconic yukitsuri (ropes protecting the trees from snow) creating a magical atmosphere. The highlight was a traditional tea ceremony, where we learned about the art of Japanese tea and its cultural significance. Throughout the tour, she shared fascinating insights about life in Japan and introduced us to local crafts, offering wonderful suggestions for what to do after the tour. Her enthusiasm and warmth made the experience truly enjoyable—we’d highly recommend her to anyone visiting Kanazawa! Nicola Iacovino2025-02-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I had the pleasure of being guided by Nozomi during our visit to Kanazawa, exploring the Samurai District and the Geisha District. Nozomi was exceptionally kind, professional, and communicated with impeccable English. Her deep knowledge and worldly experience shone through in every aspect of the tour. As honeymooners, we felt incredibly fortunate to have Nozomi as our guide. Her insights and storytelling enriched our experience, making it truly memorable. We highly recommend Nozomi to anyone looking for a top-notch guide in Kanazawa. Among all the guides of Kanazawa Tours, Nozomi stands out as the best. Thank you, Nozomi, for making our visit unforgettable! Lachlan Herbert2025-02-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sachiko was our guide for our walking tour of Kanazawa. She was amazing and very funny. Would highly recommend Sachiko to expand your knowledge of Kanazawa and for an excellent day out. Nob Ody2025-01-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was a really good tour. We were shown around during winter and had great explanations about the local areas and even got some food recommendations! Sarah Chitra2025-01-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had wonderful experiences during Shirakawa Go day trip from Takayama and Kanazawa transfer. Kumiko was my driver guide and she is absolutely very professional, attentive and willing to go beyond to make sure the trip was comfortable at all the time. Kumiko was also very crafty, she made me unique itinerary booklet package no other will ever think to make one… Kawaiii 😍😍🇯🇵!! I would definitely recommend Kumiko and Kanazawa Tours if you happen to visit Takayama - Kanazawa greater area. Tim Yin2025-01-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A truly great experience with Kanazawa Tours! I highly recommend them to anyone visiting Kanazawa. Mike was extremely helpful before we booked with Kanazawa Tours. He always answered my questions promptly and patiently. He also accommodated a special tour request that we had. My wife and I decided to book three tours with Kanazawa Tours during our 3-day visit. It was worth every Yen! Some highlights of our tours - We enjoyed the shared night tour where Ian and Jana were excellent guides. Having the opportunity to dine with other tourists from other countries was a big plus! Going to Takayama with Tetsuro was extremely memorable. He took us hiking and we were able to visit every interesting site in Takayama. He is a very knowledgeable and thoughtful guide. We were pleasantly surprised when he sent us a very organized photo album (in the cloud) from photos he took during our day visit. An excellent memory indeed! Javier Garcia Moreno2025-01-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a tour with Kumiko today 24-01-2025 and it was amazing, she was very kind, she knew everything in Shirakawa-go and Takayama. She was explaining everything we asked for and even more, recommending really nice restaurant and taking pictures of us. Definetly we would highly recommend doing a tour with Kumiko. Daniel Manzano Fuentes2025-01-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best tour ever. We had a wonderful day with our guide Kumiko (Ku). She is the best guide we've ever had. She is from Takayama so she knows the region very well and she is very detailed, pleasant, happy...you'll have the best experience to visit the region and you'll know very traditional places for shopping and eating. She is a 10/10 🙂 Sandra Jimenez2025-01-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This experience has been amazing! Thank you Kumiko (Ku) for being the best guide ever!!!
