Fabulous walking tour of Kanazawa

5.00Griselda was a truly wonderful guide on our walking tour of Kanzawa. We were lucky to have her all to ourselves so conversation flowed with our own personal questions about the area. She was so flexible in letting us stop for coffee at a small local cafe where we had our highlight of the tour , meeting and talking with the owner who's been running it for 45yrs. A brilliant tour , can HIGHLY RECOMMEND it and Criselda herself 5⭐️

5.00"Wow! What an incredible experience! Our 1-hour tour of Kanazawa garden with Karolina was simply outstanding. Her knowledge and passion for the garden's history and beauty made the tour truly unforgettable. She skillfully navigated us through the serene pathways, pointing out every hidden gem and sharing fascinating insights along the way. Karolina's warm demeanor and impeccable hospitality added an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. I cannot recommend this tour enough – a definite must-do for anyone visiting Kanazawa!"

5.00It's such a great experience to discover a new location through the eyes of a local resident. My tour guide, Yukari, was very knowledgeable about the history of Kanazawa and made the tour interesting according to what I asked.

5.00Cannot say enough wonderful things about Kanazawa and Sadaam/Ali! He received the booking less than a day in advance (we booked well over a week in advance), and he bent over backwards to fulfill our wishlist of things to do and see in Kanazawa. I wonderful walking tour to experience the beauty and arts of a special city!
