Amazing bike tour in Osaka - Amazing bike tour in Osaka. The tour included lunch plus several stops at attractions including Osaka Castle, and Osaka's "Eiffel Tower". Our guide was very attentive to the group and ensured we had time to take plenty of photos. I'm into biking and outdoors so I found it quite nice mix of sightseeing and exercise. 17Km ride for our tour including several tight spots so it is not for beginners. Highly recommend.

An excellent way to see and experience Osaka! - We had a fab day with Matt on the full day tour and would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to see Osaka, have a break from walking everywhere and learn about the history of the city and Japan more broadly.
Matt was clearly passionate about the history of the places we visited during the tour, and we learnt a lot / had a lot of our own questions about Japan answered along the way.
The lunch spot he chose was great and we identified the areas we wanted to return to and visit in more detail for the rest of our stay here.
Would really recommend doing this tour on your first full day staying in Osaka, as Matt gave us lots of food and activity recommendations for the rest of our stay which we are setting off to explore today.

Fab tour - A great way to see Osaka and learn about the history of the city. Yuki was a superb guide, he was knowledgeable and ready to answer any questions we may have had. It was great to see the more local spots too, and get a really tasty lunch. The pace we went was nice and comfortable, never felt too rushed or tiring. A fab tour, I totally recommend!

Six hours passed in a blink of an eye ... - Akiro was our bilingual guide for our group of six riders. Despite doing this tour in the beginning of Aug, the trip was very enjoyable and we saw a lot of both local and 'touristy' sights, with lots of variety (water, parks, bridges, architecture, castles, etc.) Exploring on a bike rather than on foot meant that we could easily "chase the shade" -- e.g. stopping well before a red-light intersection where there was shade, or crossing over to the shaded side of the street. We also had a fabulous (included) japanese lunch at a very nice (air-conditioned, ahh!) food-court. Bike was in good conditioned and shifted smoothly.

Family Biking in Osaka - We enjoyed riding and learning about the history of Osaka with Mayco. She was very friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. Hearing directly from a local who was able to share recommendations and tips was great. The stops in between the riding made the day go by quickly and Marco ensured that we were well hydrated throughout the day. The other family we were with were also friendly and we all had great conversations. Thank you for memorable day that we will remember for a long time.
