5.00Saya was the perfect guide as she is knowledgeable, interested and attentive. She gave us an insight into the history and culture of Kanazawa and then we ate in a local restaurant which we would never have found by ourselves. The restaurant staff were very welcoming as well and the found was delicious. We highly recommend this tour - particularly in the early part of your visit to Kanazawa so that you get a sense of the city.
