Traveler reviews
Perfect day out!
Keita was such an engaging guide on this beautiful tour to Shirakawa-go and Kanazawa. Even in the heat the time spent at each place was so well balanced that you could relax and cool down in the air conditioned bus. The group today was small so there was plenty of time to ask questions and get further recommendations for my stay. I think this tour is best for people who want to explore new areas in a group guided setting instead of organising it by yourself! Keita was wonderful to chat with and was super knowledgeable about Kanazawa!
Lovely tour with Keyta our guide
The tour was lovely. Keyta our guide was a great guide: interesting, polite and funny. He explained everything to maximize the experience.
An amazing day in Shirakawago
Shirakawago was one of the destinations we were really eager to get to know. Through GetYourGuide we booked this tour and what a great decision it was. Instructions for pickup were clear, the bus was super comfortable and Shirakawago was an incredible place to visit. This was all enhanced by the amazing experience our tour guide, Keita, provided us. His English was spot on and it helped a lot to improve the experience especially with the great knowledge he gave us. Plus his laidback and funny personality really made it something special. I highly recommend visiting Shirakawago this way. And if you get Keita as your tour guide you’re in for a treat! Thank you Keita!
An Unforgettable Experience in Shirakawa-go
A wonderful experience from start to finish! Shirakawa-go was absolutely beautiful, and the tour was very well organised and informative. A special thank you to our guide, Keita, who was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and attentive. He made the experience even more enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended!
