ABOUT YANESEN:

While reasonably experienced travelers we wanted to see a different part of Tokyo that travellers may not usually go to. Our tour leader Youssef delivered this as well as showing us many little bakery's and cafes. He explained things and areas along the way which we found interesting and had the opportunity to visit a local cafe with cats as my companion and I love them. After the tour had officially he finished he showed us to Ueno Park where we were able to look around and indulge in some street food. The tour itself is very laid back and welcomes exploration as you go. Thank you for your patience Youssef when we wanted to go look at other things. If your looking at booking a tour with a well spoken guide I would recommend Youssef.
