Absolutely fantastic tour! Our family of four, including our 14-year-old and 15-year-old. had so much fun. Remy, our tour guide was tri-lingual (English, French and Japanese) and spoke perfect English. Prior to our tour, we were provided with video instructions on how to get to the bike meeting point, from the train station, which was very helpful and thorough. However, you could also take a taxi to the meeting point which wouldn’t be too much more for a family of 4. The tour itself was so fun, Remy brought us to places where there weren’t very many tourists, it was a very casual and relaxing, scenic tour around the city, and only one portion was mildly uphill but not strenuous. Since we were touring during the cherry blossom festival, we had spectacular pictures. That is a bonus, he took pictures of our entire family, and we were able to access them via video link within 48 hours. Overall very informative and would highly recommend. A great value for the quality of time!! Book now!

Tolle Tour mit sympathische Guide. Vor allem an heißen Tagen ist diese Radtour zu empfehlen, da man alle wichtigen chtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten schnell und einfach erreicht. Darüber hinaus bekommt qualitativ hochwertige Fahrräder. Eine sehr schöne Idee war, dass der Guide die ganze Tour über Bilder gemacht hat, die er mir dann zur Verfügung gestellt hat. Super Tour, volle Empfehlung!
