Wonderful tour with Karolina!!! - We signed up for a full day tour, and it was absolutely perfect! Karolina was wonderful! She guided us through the city at a perfect pace, and kept our group of mixed ages (parents with teenagers) informed and engaged. She took us to a wonderful spot for lunch, and even arranged a special arts class (gold leaf) afterwards. She was thoughtful and considerate, and helped made our limited time in Kanazawa meaningful. We would highly recommend this tour!

Excellent Full Day Tour of Kanazawa’s Traditional Artisan Crafts - Had an excellent tour with a private guide, Nozomi Kondo, starting with a tour & history of Kanazawa’s local Samurai district and on to a local sign writing (Hirakiya) artisan workshop to learn about the traditional craft of creating huge banners for a temple using traditional sign writing techniques. Excellent session with lots of information provided by Nozomi. Then taken to a kaisendon (seafood bowl) restaurant for lunch at Koufuku, which we thoroughly enjoyed and then walked through the nearby fresh produce Omicho Market where we sampled a number of foods. Then onto another traditional lacquerware/kintsugi artisan family house/workshop (Mr. & Ms. Sadaike) to learn all about the creation of black lacquerware items, with excellent information provided again by Nozomi. Fascinating session. Finally, Nozomi took us to Kanazawa’s Higashi geisha district and explained all about the geisha training and life, before leaving us to look around and find a restaurant for an evening meal, with easy to follow directions to get back to our hotel. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. She was so knowledgeable and willing to answer our questions as well as explaining all aspects of the tour experiences. The tour itself was excellent and we had a really great day. Thank you.

Excellent tour with an excellent guide - Nozomi was an excellent guide with extremely good English. She showed us everything we’d asked to see and more on top of this, she was very informative and knowledgeable. We were delighted to spend time with such a kind and generous person and thoroughly enjoyed meeting her.

Kanazawa Tour - worth every yen! - Sachiko was an excellent guide!! She customized our experience to show us amazing highlights of the city! She was timely and we fit so many sights into one day! We saw: the Omicho Market, Gardens,Castle Grounds, Samurai district, Ninja Temple, an amazing sushi lunch with a very personable chef who was just amazing. He noticed that I am left handed and switched my sushi to be easier to pick up as a lefty! After lunch we headed to the Geisha district for tour and shopping. While there, we visited a gold leaf shop, where the proprietor taught us about the gold leaf making process (so amazing to learn!) while Sachiko translated. Sachiko guided us through all of the sites (except the Ninja temple - she made reservations for us there, but private guide is not allowed in temple) filling in with useful cultural facts and history throughout the day. She was so knowledgeable! Shopping with Sachiko was fantastic, she took us to the best shops and also translated anything we needed when we had questions on signs. She was patient and kind throughout our time and I would highly suggest you book a tour with Sachiko and Kanazawa Tours! Sachiko also took a whole album of pictures during our time, which has been so amazing to look back at!

Great Tour. - Absolutely fantastic experience with Jorge from Kanazawa Tours! He provided an incredible full-day tour of Kanazawa for my family and me. Jorge's knowledge of the city, its history, and culture is impressive, and he shared it all with such passion and enthusiasm. He was attentive to our interests, answered all our questions, and made the tour engaging for both adults and teens. His friendly demeanor and excellent communication made the day even more enjoyable. We felt we saw the best of Kanazawa, thanks to Jorge's expert guidance. Highly recommend Kanazawa Tours and especially Jorge for anyone visiting the area! Five stars!

Kanazawa day and night - In our 11-day Japan tour, we had six guides, but no one could even be placed in the vicinity of Nozomi Kondo. Her extensive knowledge, personal charm, natural tact, and very good English made our Kanazawa visit more memorable than other Japanese cities with more attractions and history. She is fantastic!!!

Great day in Kanazawa. Makes us want to come back - Our guide Reiko was knowledgeable, fun and engaging. She knew how to showcase her city beautifully. Wish we had another day here with her.

Best Kanazawa private tour - We spent an amazing day with my husband today in Kanazawa thanks to our guide Sachiko! She was so nice and thoughtful, my husband had a problem walking by foot, so she quickly organised taxi for us all to get around. As a result, we saw so much and didn’t even get tired! It was very interesting to listen to her stories about different historic sites. We visited geisha and samurai districts, the park with samurai castle ruins and even got a tour into a local souvenir shops ☺️ Thank you Sachiko for a wonderful tour! Also, best sushi ever ❤️

Kanazawa Full Day Walking Tour - Jorge was excellent and we would highly recommend him. We saw many sights and he was thoughtful about what we saw. He explained things thoroughly and we would use him again.

Superb tour, excellent guide - Nozomi is a bundle of energy and very knowledgeable. She knows everyone so we had wonderful experiences that would not normally be part of the tour. She couldn’t have been more kind and helpful. She speaks excellent English and we had a great time with her.
