About local Selda

Fun evening with Selda in Kanazawa

Selda was very knowledgeable and accommodating. She walked us through the Samurai district and gave us lots of ideas about what to do in Kanazawa. Tried foods I never would have ordered which made the evening fun. However, only went to 2 restaurants and was not really a street food experience. Would have like to explore more locations and types of foods.

Kanazawa tour with Raphael

We recently had an enjoyable afternoon walking Kanazawa with Raphael, he is very knowledgeable about the history and obviously has a passion for the area We certainly learnt a lot of interesting things that you would not know or find if walking solo Thanks Raphael
