Kanazawa insights with a lovely gentleman - Tetsuro san was warm and friendly and is knowledgable about Kanazawa. He offered lots of interesting information about the geisha quarters and the architecture of the old buildings. Then he took us to a really lovely restaurant for dinner which was one of the best udon we have ever had.

Amazing Kanazawa tour! - Kanazawa tours and especially Jorge are amazing. If you do a tour with this company make sure you ask for Jorge he gave us the best tour experience we’ve ever had. We had amazing conversations, food, sights and even went to a few hidden off the beaten path spots. Really a tour to remember thank you Jorge!

Wonderful way to enjoy Kanazawa - We had much more fun and noticed more exploring Kanazawa with Tetsuro than when we walked around on our own. He really brought the city to life with stories of the geisha, history, architecture, discreet passages. There were so many details we learned and it was so beautiful and peaceful at night. I think Tetsuro is to blame for my husband's love of Tanuki and new collection of 8 statues. He took excellent pictures of us and sent them the next day. We loved the private dining experience in a traditional setting with some of the best food we experienced in Japan. Even entering the charming restaurant and enjoying the meal was educational. This was the highlight of our time in Kanazawa!!

Top notch! - Our tour made for a fantastic night and Tetsuro was wonderful from start to finish. The history and inside knowledge he taught us about Kanazawa was incredibly interesting. Testuro was warm, welcoming, smart, easy to talk to and we all agreed that we would have enjoyed many more nights hanging out with him! Dinner was amazing! We never would have found that spot on our own and it was one of the best meals we’ve had on our trip. We are very grateful for the insight and experience we gained from Testuro and the tour. Thank you so much!

The best tour, ever! - Our guide, Nozomi San was absolutely delightful. Her knowledge of the area and it's history was amazing. I leaned so much and her sunny smile made the otherwise miserable rainy night so fun. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you for the wonderful time!
