βA basic tour guide ? nah, any paper book will do...
Once you enter some more highly specialized stuff, walking with a knowledgeable guide can be truly fascinating. I've been living in Tokyo for 25 years, walking with a historian in Shinjuku made me completely rediscover the city I thought I knew.β
