“Visite avec Aissam ”
Nous avons eu le grand plaisir de faire une visite de Tokyo de nuit et de jour avec Aissam, et nous n’aurions pas pu rêver d’un meilleur guide ! Dès le début, Aissam s’est montré extrêmement sympathique, drôle, et il nous a tout de suite mis à l’aise. Sa connaissance de l’histoire, des lieux cachés de Tokyo, et surtout des aspects culturels du peuple japonais et de sa culture, est tout simplement impressionnante. Aissam a une excellente énergie et un sens de l’humour qui rendent la visite à la fois enrichissante et très agréable. Il a vraiment personnalisé l’expérience selon nos intérêts, et nous avions l’impression de découvrir la ville avec un ami proche passionné par Tokyo. Nous recommandons Aissam sans aucune hésitation à tous ceux qui visitent Tokyo. Vous ne serez pas déçus ! Nous espérons déjà revenir un jour à Tokyo et le retrouver comme guide !
