Kanazawa Private Tour Guides

“Yoji K is an Excellent Driver and Guide”

Really commend Yoji K who picked us up at Fukui and drove us through to Kanazawa on a full day one way Private Explore Fukui, Eiheiji temple and knife village Tour. We were 2 couples travelling with our luggage. Nothing was a problem for Yoji. His communication was fabulous, car was clean and comfortable and Yoji shared lots of local knowledge. My only concern was not with Yoji it was with gowithguide in that they would not release Yoji contact till the day prior to our tour which left us very uncomfortable. Would recommend gowithguide review their policy.

“Wonderful tour with outstanding guide”

I was in Kanazawa for one day while on a cruise. I knew there were a number things I wanted to see and do. Yukari offered a 6 hour tour that fit perfectly into my schedule, and included stops at all the places I wanted to see. I went with my sister and a friend. We all had an amazing time with Yukari. Planning and communication with Yukari was smooth and effortless. She promptly answered all questions, and made excellent suggestions for things to do, how to get from the port to the meeting spot in Kanazawa station, and what our options were for lunch. Yukari was so professional and thoughtful. She had an excellent plan for seeing the beauty of her town. She was always making sure we were comfortable with the pacing, and helped with photos. She is very knowledgeable about history and culture. And very good about clearly sharing her knowledge. We had a wonderful day and left feeling like we had a new friend in Japan. I highly recommend booking a tour either Yukari.

“Great way to eat our way through Kanazawa”

We booked this tasting tour for our port stop in Kanazawa and it ended up being one of the best things we did in Japan. Criselda picked us up at Kanazawa Station, which made the start easy, and we walked into Omicho Market before the crowds really showed up. She clearly knows the vendors there and they know her. Instead of us wandering around guessing what to try, she took us to stalls she trusts, explained what we were eating, and gave us the backstory on why the seafood along this part of the Sea of Japan tastes the way it does. We would never have found half of these places on our own. From the market we moved on to the Chaya district where we learned about the traditional production of gold leaf and ended with a tasting of sake ice cream and the famous Kanazawa gold leaf ice cream. It was a relaxing way to finish after three hours of eating and walking. What we appreciated most about Criselda: - She's easy to talk to and fun to spend a morning with - She gave us context on the food, history and culture without it ever feeling like a lecture - She paced things well and never made us feel rushed - She checked in on what we liked and adjusted along the way - At the end, she made sure we knew exactly how to get to our next stop Ten tastings sounds like a lot, but the portions were right and we left full without feeling miserable. As a private tour it was worth the price for us, especially since we got to ask as many questions as we wanted. If we make it back to Kanazawa, we'll book with Criselda again, probably for one of her other tours. Highly recommend.
