Everything you want to know about Kanazawa including secret local insights!

Published on Sep, 2024

This was an exceptional tour and Lucy was brilliant. This was a fun and informative way to experience the treasures of Kanazawa and Lucy's expert knowledge and local Japanese experience was just what we were looking for. Not only was our visit enriched by Lucy's guidance, she was also generous to answer our many questions about, history, culture and traditions but also what it is 'really' like to live and work in Japan as a foreigner. Lucy has excellent communication skills, moves at a pace that best suits you and knows all the little side secrets too. I couldn't recommend Lucy more highly!

Kanazawa walking tour- Lucy was amazing!

Published on Jun, 2024

Lucy was an amazing tour guide! She knew SO much about Kanazawa history and culture. A group of 4 of us took her tour and we couldn’t stop talking about how thankful we were to have been on her tour- we learned a lot of interesting things and felt like we got a great overview of all the important places in Kanazawa. 10/10 recommend!
