“Wonderful tour for our family in Kanazawa”
Raphaël was a great guide for our family, customizing the tour to match our preferences and taking care to balance making it interesting for the adults and moving at a pace and with topics that were interesting for younger kids! He went out of his way to also accommodate an extra request of helping retrieve a left behind item for our daughter at a restaurant which made her day. Spending a morning with Raphaël is a great way to start your time in Kanazawa as he helps to orient you to the city and make recommendations that go beyond the tour as well.
Raphaël P.
Thank you so much, Michael! It was a real pleasure spending the morning with your family. I'm especially glad we could sort out the little restaurant adventure—moments like that make the day even more memorable. I hope you’ve had a fantastic rest of your trip in Japan. Thanks again for your kind words! Best, Raphaël
