“An Outstanding Day in Kanazawa with an Exceptional Guide – Megumi (Megu)! A Truly Memorable Experience!”

Our port call in Kanazawa was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our cruise, and much of the credit goes to our wonderful guide, Megumi (Megu). Travelling as a group of 14, we had originally prepared our own preferred itinerary, which we then worked closely with Megu to refine and perfect. Her local knowledge, excellent suggestions and thoughtful planning enabled us to put together a wonderfully packed programme, making the absolute most of our limited time in Kanazawa without ever feeling rushed. Megu took care of all the transport arrangements, ensuring our entire group was collected directly from the cruise port, comfortably transported between attractions and returned to the ship in good time. Everything was exceptionally well organised and ran seamlessly throughout the day. But what truly made this excursion special was Megu herself. Beyond being an extremely knowledgeable, professional and attentive guide, she is an incredibly warm, kind and engaging person. Her genuine enthusiasm and deep affection for Kanazawa were infectious. She didn’t simply show us the sights; she shared her love for her city with us, bringing its history, culture and traditions to life in a wonderfully personal way. Her warmth, patience and cheerful personality made everyone in our group feel welcome and ensured that the day was as enjoyable as it was interesting. We came away not only having discovered the beauty of Kanazawa but also feeling that we had spent the day with a wonderful friend. Megu is an absolute credit to her profession and a fantastic ambassador for Kanazawa. We cannot praise or recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Megu, for making our visit so memorable. You truly made our day special!

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and heartfelt review!It truly means the world to me. It was such a pleasure and a privilege to spend the day with your wonderful group of 14. I really enjoyed working with you to refine your itinerary and make the most of your limited time in Kanazawa. I’m so happy to hear that everything went smoothly and that you never felt rushed. More than anything, I’m grateful that you enjoyed not only the sights and experiences, but also the stories, history and culture of Kanazawa. This city is very special to me, so being able to share my love for Kanazawa with visitors like you is one of the most rewarding parts of being a guide. Your group was so warm, friendly and enjoyable to be with, and I truly felt that we were sharing a wonderful day together rather than simply doing a tour. Your kind words about me personally are deeply appreciated and will stay with me for a long time. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide and for allowing me to be part of your memorable visit to Kanazawa. I sincerely hope that you will return to Japan and Kanazawa someday. It would be my great pleasure to see you all again!:)

“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.
