My wife and I hired Megumi for a half-day tour of Kanazawa. Her English is excellent, and we found her to be fun, smart, and easy to be with. She took the time to get to know us as our day went on and was open to making changes in our itinerary that better suited our interests. We took a detour to the Zen museum which was fascinating; ate at a small, semi-hidden locals-only sushi restaurant within the Omicho food market that my wife and I could never have navigated on our own; negotiated with vendors to have prepared foods slightly altered to suit our preferences, etc. After we parted, Megumi got us a reservation at a wonderful yakitori restaurant that night (we were the only non-Japanese people in the place) which was fun, inexpensive, and excellent (they were expecting us when we arrived and made us very welcome). Megumi, having spent some time in the US, was able to help us bridge some hidden gaps in communication that opened up Kanazawa to us in a way that I am sure we would not otherwise have been able to experience. Lovely, competent, easy, on-time, excellent communicator, good sense of humor, kind: five stars all around.

We had an absolutely amazing day with Megumi! She helped us cover so much ground, and guided us through the main sights of beautiful Kanazawa, which has quickly become one of my favourite places in Japan. We were also blessed with great weather and the chance to witness the city's main festival parade. Thanks a lot Meg!

She treated me like a visiting friend. We ate at the fish market, saw some historic local streets, and wore some kimonos. It was a nice time in a laid back town. This is better than being in the crowed cities.

Our guide, Megumi, was super fun and enthusiastic about showing us around Kanazawa. Her excellent communication with us before our tour helped us plan a perfect day. And when the re-entry immigration process for our cruise ship took a couple of hours longer than expected she accommodated with changing her schedule so that we were able to do most of what we had planned before we had to return to the ship.
