Kanazawa Highlights - We had an excellent introduction to Kanazawa with our helpful lovely guide. The market was vibrant and fun and we learnt lots of history we’d have otherwise missed.

Great educational tour - Aiko was a great tour guide! She gave us so much information on the Omicho market, the geiko district, the gold leaf workshop, history of Japan periods, and even kanji. The pace was great, we had time to look at things but it didn't feel too slow. She also had excellent recommendations for food, which we tried later in the day! We would definitely recommend her and this tour for a fun and educational couple of hours in Kanazawa.
