Comprehensive 1-hour tour in Kanazawa Garden - "Wow! What an incredible experience! Our 1-hour tour of Kanazawa garden with Karolina was simply outstanding. Her knowledge and passion for the garden's history and beauty made the tour truly unforgettable. She skillfully navigated us through the serene pathways, pointing out every hidden gem and sharing fascinating insights along the way. Karolina's warm demeanor and impeccable hospitality added an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. I cannot recommend this tour enough – a definite must-do for anyone visiting Kanazawa!"

In depth understanding - It's such a great experience to discover a new location through the eyes of a local resident.
My tour guide, Yukari, was very knowledgeable about the history of Kanazawa and made the tour interesting according to what I asked.

AMAZING - Would give 6 stars if I could. Our guide Chris was incredible!! So knowledgeable about history, art, architecture, nature the list goes on. Showed us the heart of Kanawaza in 2 hours! Gave us lots of recommendations for the rest of our trip too. Cannot thank him enough and cannot recommend more highly!

Thank you, Ali, for showing us magical Kanazawa! - Cannot say enough wonderful things about Kanazawa and Sadaam/Ali! He received the booking less than a day in advance (we booked well over a week in advance), and he bent over backwards to fulfill our wishlist of things to do and see in Kanazawa. I wonderful walking tour to experience the beauty and arts of a special city!

Local knowledge is so helpful. - Our local, Monse, really brought Kanazawa to life for our first visit. Although it was an evening tour she gave us lots of interesting information and ideas to places we returned to the next day and had plenty of recommendations for restaurants and bars. It was definitely worth spending 2 hours with our local to maximise our short time in Kanazawa.

Lovely tour in the snow - We had a lovely time hanging out in Kanazawa during the first snow of the season. Henric was a thoughtful guide and made our tour eventful and just our pace.

Nice day with excellent guide - We enjoyed our tour with Rodrigo. He was flexible in tailoring the day to meet our interests, was very social, knowledgeable, and willing to answer all questions.
We visited shrines, museums, the castle, park, geisha district, tea district, etc.
Very nice day!

Local Guide needed in Kyoto to see everything in one day! - We loved having Deepa guide us around Kyoto! Kyoto is a very busy, touristy town. All of the popular sites are in different areas in town, so you have to travel on trains and busses to get to all of them. It was absolutely indispensable to have a local guide that could navigate the busy streets and transportation. It was so much less stressful to just follow her around rather than try to figure it all out on our own. Deepa was quiet and unassuming and let us spend time wherever we wanted, as well and checked in frequently to make sure we were doing okay, not walking too fast and more. She also helped us find a wonderful restaurant for lunch. We loved our day with her in Kyoto.

A wonderful way to see the real Kanazawa - Our guide Rodrigo was excellent and so accommodating with our times - he was very informative and incorporated our suggestions with his own and off we went, exploring the backstreets of the geisha district, exploring the beautiful gardens and parks and main sights. Such an enjoyable few hours spent
