I had a really enjoyable evening with Momo guiding us around Kanazawa, finding beautiful secret spots and having delicious food and drink. It was lovely to meet people from all over the world and learn about local culture
Momo was a fabulous and welcoming host who made the experience special and comfortable and fun!
The Aiko was SUGOI!! She was so knowledgeable and friendly and made the entire super fun. We loved listening to her stories of traveling around the world
Great experience with Aiko! Very friendly and welcoming taking us round the geisha area, for food and ending up at a lovely bar.
Great trip Momo was fantastic and helped with ordering, sharing knowledge and experiences.
Aiko was great. She made one of our nights in Kanazawa amazing!
Aiko was amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the area but also knew about other part of the world as well through her travels. Made for very interesting conversations with the other couple on the tour. Very humerous and upbeat. Knew alot of interesting facys about the city. Really made the night memorable. Even after a long day in Shirakawa-go she made the night fun. Would absolutely love to have another tour with her another time if we come back to Kanazawa.
Great evening with great company. Good was wonderful.
A nice evening walk with a local guide, Yuji, to try some yakitori and enjoy drinks. Our guide was very enthusiastic and gave plenty of information on food, history, culture. Would recommend!
I was a solo traveler added to an extended family group of 11. I had a great time getting to know my fellow travelers and our nice guide Yugi. The bar in particular was steeped in history in a beautiful part of town over 300 years old. Its was a great and relaxing retreat. The company was incredibly helpful in helping me fix an early snafu and I am so glad I could make the tour.
