What a wonderful afternoon in Kanazawa with my tour guide (Momo!) who I would recommend who I would highly recommend to anyone that is wanting to know about history, culture with great food with a lot of fun!
Momo was a fantastic and friendly tour guide. She had great suggestions. I’m glad I did this tour, and would definitely recommend!
Super, excellent experience with family
Fantastic, Aiko was excellent, very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. I would recommend her every time.
Aiko was an amazing guide. She was entertaining, informative and a pleasure to have leading our tour. I can't recommend her as a guide highly enough. The market foods were absolutely delicious and the geisha area was really cool. You pay for what you eat and drink on the tour but the sushi is the best I have had. I spent about AUD$50 shared with my wife. Not bad for the best sushi, eel and sea urchin that I have ever had. Highly recommend tour A+
We had a great tour, delicious food, so informative and our guide Aiko was absolutely delightful.
Aiko is a professional and very dynamic guide! Very interesting and gastronomic visit to the Omicho market and the geisha district! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Aiko was a fabulous guide who gave us a wonderful Japanese sushi experience. She was knowledgeable and friendly. Her professional attitude made it a lovely night out.
Lovely evening. Aiko was an excellent guide and the food was very enjoyable. Would highly recommend this tour.
Was like a custom tour. Guide asked us what type of food we enjoyed and he took us to the best places.
