Narita Private Tours &amp; Local Tour Guides

I was born and grew up in Yokohama. I used to work in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I became the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English in 2013. At first, I had attended a volunteer group which provided a tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens until 2015. I guided more than fifty times in the garden as a volunteer and studied about Japanese history and culture. Based on this experience, I became a tour guide of this online site in 2015. Since then, I have guided more than 500 tours in Tokyo as well as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Nikko, etc., while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them more deeply than just visiting there by yourself or a member of group tours. I like foods and I know many restaurants which provide typical Japanese lunch with reasonable price without waiting too long. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help you to enjoy your stay in Japan. So please be my guest!!

“Great Private Narita Tour. ”

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.

Nobu S.

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
