Noah tailored our trip to what we wanted to eat. He took us to the fish market to fresh Tuna sushi. I was incredible. We also got to talking about culture, life and the differences between our country and his. We made a friend.

Wir wurden von Noah durch Tokio geführt und hatten eine hervorragende Zeit. Er war uns immer einen Schritt voraus und wusste wo die besten Läden zu finden waren. Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis welches was ohne Noahs umfangreiches Wissen und mit seiner charmanten Art nicht erlebt hätten. Klare Empfehlung für jeden der Tokio besucht. Gerne wieder! We were guided around Tokyo by Noah and had an excellent time. He was always one step ahead of us and knew where the best shops were. An unforgettable experience that would not have been possible without Noah's extensive knowledge and charming manner. Clear recommendation for anyone visiting Tokyo. Gladly again!
