Cycle Osaka worked hard to reschedule with us and Matt was a great tour guide! Fun biking trip! - We booked through a 3rd party website, which made it difficult to communicate well with the tour operators, but Cycle Osaka tried hard to reach me through any communication possible to let us know that our original tour had to be canceled. They were very helpful and accommodating to try to find a time and date that would be best for us to reschedule. Although we didn't get the same tour we initially booked, it ended up being the tour we needed! We went on a shorter 3-hour bike tour with Matt and we were the only party during this time. This 3-hour bike tour was a good amount of time for our first bike ride in Japan. Cycle Osaka opened up a different tour time for my family because we weren't able to attend their earlier time. For this, we are so grateful! Matt was a great tour guide! With only us 2 bikers and Matt biking around, we were able to learn so many interesting historical facts about Osaka. The sights we saw were great, but the biking around the interesting city was the best part. Biking was intimidating but Matt made it easy to follow at a good speed and had many stops to point out for us. I wish I could've taken more pictures or recorded the bike ride, but I was focused on not dying by biking into people or things. We appreciate the effort Cycle Osaka took to work with our schedule! It was a great biking tour and would definitely come by again!

Awesome snapshot of the city from the perspective of a local! - Akira did a wonderful job giving us a snapshot of Osaka from the perspective of a local! He was super knowledgeable about the history and culture and brought a whole lot of enthusiasm to the tour. He also went out of his way to make sure we all felt as comfortable and safe as possible biking through the streets of Osaka.

This tour was dope. We... - This tour was dope. We covered a lot of ground at a reasonable pace on a very hot and humid day so the breeze of the riding was ideal. Our tour guide was engaging, responsive and very knowledgable about the history and ins and out of what makes Osaka unique. There are plenty of opportunity for photos and rest so don't feel like you gotta be in great condition to do the tour. There's also a e-bike option for an additional fee.

Half Day/Three Hour Bike Tour - Excellent! - We did the half day/three hour tour and our guide was Matt. He was very personable, humorous and very knowledgeable about the area. He spoke English and Japanese. He took us to the most popular and best places in about 3 hours and it was definitely worth it and I highly recommend this tour!
