5.00We had a great time with our guide, Rina. She was bubbly and excited to share Kanazawa with us. We learned a lot from her about Kanazawa's history with the shogun, where it's name came from, and the different districts. We went at a nice pace and stayed off busy streets which was great. Helmets were available upon request. Great tour - highly recommend.

5.00Rina was an excellent guide! Since she is a local she was able to impart so much inside knowledge and give us recommendations for our stay in Kanazawa. We wished we booked the tour at the start of our stay so we could take advantage of all of her advice. Professional tour with a very kind, personable and knowledgeable guide. Thank you again Rina.
