Thanks for a great experience on the Kamakura Bike Tour! - In the morning, excitement vibrated in my veins at the thought of participating in this cycling tour. And believe me, our Guide Bruno exceeded all my expectations! Without his valuable knowledge, my experience would not have been so rich and intense. This walk will remain in my memory as a great moment! The paths chosen by, far from the beaten track and reserved for the inhabitants of Kamakura. Peaceful streets full of charm, inaccessible to cars and buses. I had the Impression that I was no longer just a tourist, but rather a privileged resident discovering the secrets of the city. Pedal through the city and its narrow streets, feel the sea breeze caress my face, admire the mountains, valleys, small rivers and discreet temples, while observing the daily life of the inhabitants... It was an experience of incomparable softness and serenity. So I was able to explore the city at my own pace, enjoying the tranquility of the small streets and discovering very nice places away from the crowds. This excursion was unique. Never have I met such a warm, thoughtful and professional Guide. If you have the chance to visit Kamakura, I highly recommend you to live the same adventure with KAMAKURA BIKE TOURS. I liked the hidden paths our Guide chose, far from the tourist track and reserved for Kamakura's residents. Peaceful and charming alleys, inaccessible to cars and buses. I felt less like a tourist and more like a privileged resident discovering the city's secrets. Pedaling, feeling the sea breeze caress my face, admiring the mountains, valleys, small rivers, and hidden temples, all while observing the daily life of the locals... It was such a nice experience. I explored the city at my own pace, savoring the tranquility of the backstreets and discovering unique places away from the crowds. I loved this tour with such a warm, attentive, and professional Guide. If you have the chance to visit Kamakura by bicycle, I highly recommend the KAMAKURA BIKE TOURS. A great thank you to the entire team for this wonderful visit!
