4.00I was surprised that the starting destination is in a suburb of Nara. It was actually pretty cool to see a residential area in addition to seeing the Deer Park and tourist sties.
Not to be missed.

5.00Matheus was an excellent guide. Bikes were ready for us. In good condition. The route was well thought out and very manageable (we are in our 70's). Our guide supplied rice crackers to feed the lovely deer. Communication before meeting was excellent & helpful thank you.
Highly recommended bike tour of Nara highlights

5.00A really fantastic bike tour by Christophe. I thoroughly recommend this tour. We arranged the night before and soon had a welcome message and instructions for joining. Christophe made sure that we had the correct size of bike and safety helmet. He guided us safely and we had flexibility to stop when we wanted for photos. Christophe was highly knowledgeable, not just about the sites, but also the local culture. The tour was at our pace and very informative. Christophe took photos of us on the tour and we were able to download them the same evening. The tour was a very special experience for us.

5.00Had a great tour with Jean in mid March. He was super knowledgeable and we felt very safe on the bikes with him as our guide. Beautiful way to see Nara!
Great way to see much more than just deer!

5.00An awesome way to experience Nara! While many people simply get off the train and walk a few blocks to see the Nara Deer, biking gives you the ability to truly have an experience of seeing so much more of what Nara has to offer, namely the largest Buddha, Kasuga-Nashi, the Kikuich Cutlery (formerly a maker of samurai swords) and generally the ancient history of Nara! Biking was moderately challenging in spots, but you can walk on those moments of needed. Naturally, the highlight was getting to feed the deer and learning how to engage with them so as to have them bow before getting a snack. Sebastian was really great at showing us the way!
Matheus was a great guide

Personalized Tour with a Bumpy Start Because of Us (Not the Tour Guide’s Fault)

5.00Let me just say that even before the tour was going to start, my son and I got lost and mixed up at various stations, and then stuck in traffic when we chose to take a cab. Regardless, we let Matheus know and he was the most accommodating tour guide I have ever met. Not only did he allow us to start the tour late, but also allowed us to swap the cross bikes with e-bikes. Based on what my son said, Matheus was a very knowledgeable guide that provided insights on every stop they took. He was patient, understanding, and most of all, very personal as we learned a lot about him, as well as Nara. I would easily recommend this tour, and if possible, give a 10/5 because I think he deserves it that much. Thank you again Matheus!
The best bike tour ever!

5.00A real guided experience delivered by experts who tells and shows you hidden secrets and spots in the town. I loved it!! The only attention point is the office distance from Nara Park and metro station.
A great ride and a friendly guide.

5.00A great day with a wonderful guide. There engine was great and even I, an overweight 60 year Old very occasional bike rider, was asked to manage. Mattheus was very informative and a friendly guy to ride with. The locations on the tour were very interesting and with sufficient stops to broke up the riding.
