We had a terrific day in Kanazawa with our tour guide Karolina. She is from Poland and speaks excellent English and Japanese. This really helped in communicating with us, as well as, getting answers to our questions from the Japanese vendors and experience hosts. Since she also lives in Kanazawa, you could not tell that she was not Japanese because of her mannerisms, so the experience was very authentic. She could very clearly relate the history of the places we visited, but did not bore us by overly doing so. After answering a survey questionnaire, Karolina was able to develop a terrific itinerary for us that included a gold leaf experience, wagashi workshop, great place to eat lunch, and most of the recommended sites in Kanagawa. Although she kept us on schedule, we did not feel rushed at any spot. She responded to all of our pre-tour questions in a very professional and timely manner. Since it was supposed to rain on the day of our tour, she even carried 3 extra umbrellas with her! So if you plan to visit Kanazawa, book a tour with Karolina. It will be 8 hours well spent!

On our trip to Japan, we had one day to visit Kanazawa. The weather was terrible the day of our tour. Our guide, Jorge, made all possible efforts to adapt our tour to let us experience the city despite the weather conditions. Our guide’s service orientation and adaptability was excellent under the terrible weather conditions we faced. We were able to experience a little bit of Kanazawa, do experiential activities, have a great lunch, and, visit places instead of being sheltered in the hotel.
