We had a long layover at the Narita airport. I found Go With Guide online a month earlier. I had never heard of it before but decided to give it a try. I was happy that I did. My daughter and I met Nobu S. at Keisei Norita station. We walked in and around the temple, park and streets. Nobu's english is good. He had good knowledge of the area and also visited some of the shops with us. I recommend this service and Nobu as your guide around Tokyo or Narita.
Thank you very much for your review. I am glad to know that you enjoyed the tour. If you had more time, I could take you to several other areas such as Sawara, Sakura or even Tokyo. I am looking forward to meeting you again in the near future. Thank you again for having me as a guide. Nobu
Nobu is extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to have as a guide. We had a fantastic first day in Tokyo with him - could only highly recommend.
Thank you for posting your review. I'm glad to know that you enjoyed my tour. Tokyo is a fascinating city, but it's not easy for first-time visitors to get around on their own. I would be happy if I could help such guests. Nobu
