Aiko was a wonderful tour guide, so knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot and had some fun as well.
Aiko was fantastic- great tour would recommend highly
Momo gave us a great tour - she gave us insights into local food and what Japanese people eat in different situations . We enjoyed the geisha district and museum, she took lovely pics for us. It was a very relaxed tour rather than being marched about , Moma is a warm, friendly person who happily answered all our questions
Aiko was perfect guide for the food tour and geisha district. Very pleasant tour and very expert explanation. Don't doubt it. Aiko is one of the best guidebook experiences we have ever had.
Kanazawa! We had an incredible guided tour of the Omicho Market, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide Yuji was absolutely amazing! They were incredibly knowledgeable, informative, and shared fascinating insights about the market's history, the local culture, and the seasonal seafood. Beyond being a great expert, they were also exceptionally kind, patient, and welcoming, making the whole experience engaging and fun for the entire family. If you want to truly experience Omicho Market and taste the best it has to offer while learning the stories behind it, we highly recommend this tour. Thank you for an unforgettable morning!
The tour was great and our tour guide Momiji-san (Momo) was super nice and accommodating. And she speaks fantastic English! We learned a lot of new things and had opportunities to visit various shops and buy souvenirs, which were also explained to us. In addition, there were many opportunities to try food at the fish market and in the geisha district.
Great experience! Aiko was excellent as a tour guide.
It is always a pleasure to explore more of Kanazawa with a local guide. The amazing Aiko explained everything simply and provided the group with recommendations that I can go back to. I only wish I could have tried more but I was already satisfied at sushi restaurant we tried nearly at the beginning! Highly recommended for solo travelers!
Great afternoon, plenty of food options and explanations. Geisha district was interesting. Fun afternoon.
Yuji was a great guide. We learned a lot about the different foods at the market and the different aspects of the area.
