E-bike tour - The tour was really informative and we got to see parts of Tokyo that we probably wouldn’t have seen. Riding on e-bikes was great fun too. Our guide Micky was so warm and welcoming, she was brilliant.

Bike tour around Central Tokyo - This was a great bike ride around Central Tokyo. I highly recommend it. The guide, Kumiko, was very knowledgeable and the route was well-planned to see many distinctive neighborhoods. It would be hard to tour these on foot. A bike ride is a great, active option.

Explore the past, present and future of Tokyo with an electrically assisted bicycle! - It was a very, very fun tour, from start to finish!! Even though I'm not good at history, Yuko's story made me want to hear more! Tell me more!" It was a very stimulating time including communication and speech skills.^^ It was a quick three hours! It was refreshing and pleasant to walk down by the Imperial Palace at the end. I'm going to see Yuko again~! Thank you very much.

A cinematic story tour - I was able to feel aspects, history and present of Tokyo that I never knew I was visiting many times! It’s been a very message-driven tour, and I’m very happy that we had an even deeper experience than just having fun or just being delicious!! I thought it would be better if people from Japan (especially Tokyo residents) participated, not to mention people from overseas!

Request for Micky & Go-Chan - My visit to Japan had been truly memorable thanks to the incredible e-bike tour guided by Mickey. From Marunouchi to Kanda, Akihabara, and beyond, every moment was filled with wonder, history and discovery. Mickey's extensive knowledge and passionate storytelling illuminated each stop along the way, revealing hidden histories and cultural gems we would have otherwise overlooked. The added touch of Go-Chan capturing our memories with her photography was beyond thoughtful. Their kindness and attention to detail, especially in recognizing my husband's birthday, was a super special surprise. Exploring the streets of Ochanomizu and Jimbocho while indulging in delicious treats like the warm waffles filled with custard and azuki beans was a delightful adventure. Witnessing two weddings at the Kanda shrine added a touch of serenity to our journey. Mickey and Go Chan are well above outstanding; their warmth, knowledge, and genuine care made our time in Japan unforgettable. Mahalo Micky "Kumiko" for guiding us through Japan's rich tapestry with such grace and enthusiasm. If you are planning to visit Japan, we highly recommend that you sign up for this e-bike tour and request for Micky to be your guide and Go-Chan to be your complimentary photographer. Sokoiko!!!

A guided electric bike tour that made familiar spots feel fresh - We started from Tokyo Station and cycled around Kanda, Akihabara, Kudan, the Imperial Palace, and other areas. I hadn't participated in many tours like this, so I thought 3 hours was a long time, but since it was an electric bicycle, I didn't get tired, and there were snack breaks, so I had no problems with my physical strength. The tour was also story-based, and the guide at each spot gave me a lot of trivia, which I enjoyed. I've been to Tokyo many times for sightseeing and work, but I've never had a chance to go to deep places like the downtown area, so this was the most fun. On a bicycle, the scenery of the good old downtown area of Kanda seemed to instantly switch to the big city of Akihabara, and although I've been to Akihabara many times, it was a fresh experience. Above all, the guide was very attentive, and the tour progressed with everyone participating, with quizzes and questions for each participant, so the 3 hours flew by.
