Historic area of Tokyo. - Great trip. Enjoyed the history and culture. Food and tour guide (Michelle) were awesome. Unami, wine, pastry, red bean, were some of the things. Michelle had a gvery good handle on the historical aspects.

Delicious and interesting - This was a great way to eat my way through a Tokyo neighborhood that I wouldn’t have otherwise been able to do! The food was delicious, the guides were very knowledgeable, and I learned a lot! Not just about food, but also about architecture, daily life in Japan, and history. Michelle was fantastic, and I also want to shout out a guide in training, Kan, who provided really, really interesting insights into the temples we visited. His tours are going to be really excellent.

CB is Outstanding - This was our 5th CB tour on our 3rd continent. Each of the tours and the guides have been exceptional — interesting, informative, fun, engaging. And this tour of Yanesen did not disappoint. Michelle is delightful - warm, knowledgeable, fun, energetic - and brings an interesting Japanese insider/outsider perspective given she’s a westerner but has lived in Japan for 20+ years. Unique from our other CB tours, this included more historic and cultural information. This is a fantastic tour to schedule towards the start of your time in Tokyo as it gives a good introduction to the story and culture of Japan. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Shrines and bites! - Had an amazing time with Diana and Kan eating and learning about the temples in the area. There are some cool unique spots that have a lot of local charm, and locals making incredible food in the area.

Hidden Tokyo - It was amazing! The guide Mairi was full of history knowledge and it was the side of Tokyo I never experienced.

Great tour with our foody and curious kids. Mairi is the best! - We had the most wonderful day with Mairi. We learned so much, discovered beautiful hidden shrines, ate delicious food and drank excellent sake. Mairi is so knowledgeable and fun. It was fascinating to discover these 3 neighborhoods. Our 6 years old son had fun too and our 1-year old daughter followed us peacefully everywhere in her stroller. Highly recommend!
