Too much talking not enough cycling!

3.00Good quality bikes and informative and passionate guide. However we would have liked a little more information on Osaka today ie good areas to eat, places of interest etc. The History is important but for us, this was too much the focus. For us, too much talking and not enough cycling and visiting interesting places.
Great time!

5.00We were only in Osaka for a day trip while we were visiting Kyoto, but we loved this tour and Osaka so much we will be coming again. We wouldn’t have been able to see as much of Osaka if it weren’t for this tour, and our guide knew exactly how to navigate the roads safely with our big family. She was knowledgeable, welcoming and fun, and she showed us really great parts of the city.
Cruisy great way to see Osaka.. easy riding.

5.00Great experience. Pete was a great guide with plenty of knowledge around the tour. It was a great way to see the sights around the area. Most beginner cyclists would be easily able to handle the “riding.” Recommended. 👍🏻
Best Bike tour ever!

5.00This tour is great and I highly, highly recommend!! 3 hours was a perfect ride time, the spots we saw were great and our guide couldn’t have been better. He had great energy, was full of information about the places we saw as well as Osaka overall, and knew the best spot for pictures. He also gave us some great local recommendations for lunch and dinner. The bikes were in great condition and the ride was manageable for all ages. Their were a few tough hills, but doable :) Book this tour for a fun way to see and learn about Osaka. Thank for a great ride!!
Perfect start to our Osaka visit

5.00A great way to see the city. The E-bikes made it really easy and Mayco was an excellent tour guide. Bring gloves if it's cold weather!
Great way to spend 1/2 a day

5.00Our guide Peter was fantastic, lots of information. Its an easy cycle, just under 14km, pretty flat - the slopes up to Osaka Castle are as steep as it gets
Great Family Bike Tour

5.00We had a fantastic half-day bike tour in Osaka with Peter. He is extremely knowledgeable about the city and shared lots of interesting history including Osaka castle and local insights along the way. Peter was also very patient and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe throughout the ride. The pace was relaxed, well organised, and a great way to see parts of Osaka we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Highly recommend this tour and Peter as a guide!
