My reviews

Nobu was an excellent tour guide, who curated our tour specific to our family’s interests. He was very knowledgeable, and for those who are concerned about English language barriers, his English is perfect and as a result we had some very interesting conversations with him about the differences between Japanese and North American culture. Highly recommend.

Our tour guide Nobu is well traveled yet very knowledgeable about Tokyo, and he shared so much of his knowledge of traditional and modern Tokyo. He was a wonderful tour guide. 5+ stars.

I had Nobu for my tour guide. It was wonderful experience. He was very respectful, polite and a local. Akhibara can be overwhelming for first time visitors, he made moving around very easy. We visited various places from lunch in a café to speciality shops such as anime merchandise, electronic mall and arcades. I learnt new things all the way. This is definitely a good way to get introduced to anime culture. At the end, I got all the Google maps links to places to visit for souvenir shopping
