Trevor was amiable and absolutely responsive. Before going to the first visit, he asked if there was anything in particular we liked, or allergic to, or preferred. Great start. All 3 stops were what we were hoping to experience in a food tour - authentic ambience and cuisine. Trevor explained and described items, venue, etc. We had an educational and pleasant time. Definite 5 stars!

Jorge speaks 4 major languages and knows the backstreets of Kanazawa. Amiable, entertaining, and flexible. Will adapt to customers’ needs. He has very interesting and thorough information. Suggestions: carry a flashlight and be able to walk a lot. Food was a different preparation and good example of Japanese cuisine.

Kanazawa Geisha Districts Tour With Dinner
Food Tours
We participated in the tour as a family of four, including our two children aged four and six. We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious sushi, grilled meat, and desserts, leaving us all happily full. Although our two energetic sons were a bit noisy at times, Mr. Hamada, our guide, was very kind and accommodating. It was especially appreciated that children could join for free, truly making it a kid-friendly tour. It was also excellent to learn about the halal restaurants. Experiencing the local atmosphere of Asakusa made this a memorable tour. I highly recommend it to everyone, whether you’re traveling with children or not.
