We had such an amazing day with our guide Jorge. It felt like we covered the whole of Kanazawa. All manageable by foot. He took us to hidden gems where there were no other tourists. We explored the most beautiful gardens, visited the markets and shopping areas also enjoyed a lovely lunch. Jorge was a wealth of knowledge and managed to tailor our tour to exactly what we wanted. He guided us perfectly so we knew exactly where we were going and he always checked in with us to make sure we were getting what we wanted from our tour. Jorge is an exceptional tour guide who our group would highly recommend.

Fantastic day tour with Sachiko Nakai who was a perfect guide, personable, and informative who ensured we got the best out of our first day in Kanazawa. Lunch stop was fab noodles and jazz records plus our visit to the Geisha House was timed to avoid the crowds. Our time spent with Artisan Masters in the afternoon and Ohi Museum where we were accompanied by Ohi Chozaemon was a highlight of our visit to Japan. A nice touch afterwards was the photos she sent to remind us of our day. We highly recommend her!

Our guide, Nozomi was lovely. Nozomi's knowledge of Kanazawa (and Japanese history and culture more generally) was excellent, and she managed our time and activities perfectly. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Nozomi in Kanazawa, and would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

We spent an amazing day with Karolina Yoshioka, who made Kanazawa shine even in the cold pouring rain! It was fantastic to hear her observations and insights living in the city as an expatriate—she has both a deep knowledge of the city and its unique history as well as a willingness to answer questions about day to day current life. She thoughtfully assessed our interests and was incredibly flexible throughout the day. Spending most of it on foot enabled us to enjoy some serendipitous moments and some unexpected snacks. She knew distances and times required and managed to cover all our priorities within our scheduled time. We really enjoyed meeting her and recommend her highly as a guide to this charming place—just be sure to bring your umbrella (a hat and gloves also helped with the chilly weather!), as well as comfortable walking shoes!

We had a great couple of days in Kanazawa thanks to Kanazawa Walking Tours and our guide Sachiko. Sachiko organized our days so we saw all the highlights of the city our first day and then visited with two artisans and saw their crafts on the second. Sachiko was very fun to spend time with and tried to ensure that we did everything we requested. In addition she picked out a great lunch spot which she knew was a priority! We would highly recommend her as she is knowledgeable , pleasant to be with and worked hard to make sure we had a great stay in Kanazawa !!
