About local Joanne
5 June 2025
Just a Perfect Introduction

Joanne was great, relaxed and easy going no rushing around. We came armed with a few questions but were very happy to go along with the flow. We'll probably be going back to Japan next year and will be looking forward to another tour with Joanne, praise indeed.

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
