Our guide, Gori, was super knowledgeable and friendly. He spoke great English and educated us along the way.
We had an excellent time with our guide Rina who ensured we had a fun and memorable experience. She was very easy to talk to and was very engaging when addressing particular topics throughout the tour. Using the e-bikes made getting to and from the tour destinations very easy and we had no troubles with Rina guiding us through the streets. Payment cards were provided at the beginning of the tour which saved us from having to download any e-bike apps.
Our private e-bike tour with Rina was awesome! She was super knowledgeable and because the e-bikes were on day passes, we were able to enjoy them for the rest of the day after the tour as well. The Ninja Temple was INCREDIBLE. Even though the tour was in Japanese only, they give you English books to follow along and it didn’t feel like we missed out on anything. Having tea and exploring with Rina was a lot of fun as well. Don’t miss this tour!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the e-bike tour and had a great experience exploring throughout the day. It’s wonderful that the Ninja Temple visit worked well with the English guidebook, and that the tea stop and time spent with the guide added to the experience. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again in the future.
We had a great time. Rina was patient with our mixed skill level with city biking. We were able to see a lot more I'm one afternoon then we could have otherwise. The tea spot was beautiful and delicious.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We’re so glad you enjoyed your afternoon exploring Kanazawa with Rina. It’s great to hear that everyone felt comfortable on the bikes and that you were able to see so much in just one day. We’re happy you enjoyed the tea stop as well. We hope to welcome you on another tour in the future!
Our guide was very nice and gave us lots of interesting information about the castle and Samurai district. A tea ceremony in a room overlooking a pretty garden was also part of our tour. During the tour she gave us recommendations on areas to go visit and good ice cream and food places and we stopped at a couple souvenir shops. Overall a great tour—a big benefit is learning how to use the public system of e-bikes and then having the bikes for the rest of the day exploring the city after the tour is over. Kanazawa is an easy city to bike around with lots of bike lanes or sidewalks marked for bikes.
Thank you for joining our Kanazawa e-bike tour and for your kind review! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the mix of history, local tips, and the tea ceremony experience. Glad the e-bikes helped you explore more of the city afterward, Kanazawa is perfect for it! We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again.
Liam was a great tour guide, the biking was fun, he took us to several places where we learned the history of the samurai and geisha districts, and the castle and garden grounds. Also, we had a tea ceremony, which was lovely. Nice tour! Thanks!

The best way to get the feel of a new city. Tea was a great guide, really informative and funny. Nice little e bikes too. Totally recommend this trip.
We appreciate your kind words about Tea and the e-bikes. We're happy you had a great experience.
An extremely personable guide with a wealth of local and country wide knowledge. A brilliant eco tour that lead us to all of the famous sights without clock watching ensuring we had a full afternoon experience. It was fantastic that we could continue to use the e bikes until midnight allowing us to get to our hotel, dinner reservation and back hassle free. Thank you Ti for a great afternoon.
