The best days in the last years!
I had an amazing time with Nobu, a guide in Tokio. I recommended special topics to see and he gave me the perfect trip, i could ever had. But that is not the only thing. Nobu is polite, interested in the people he guides and if you are lucky he will show you his juggling skills, which are really breathtaking. Absolutely perfect! I will never forget that trip to tokio
