About
We are running guided bike tours since 2006. Two guides (normally) will take good care to show you around Tokyo by bike. We are providing seven different routes (as of 2018) catering to everyone from family with small kids to cyclists who want to do some exercise. Each tour includes things such as rental bike, helmet, drinking water throughout the day, lunch and snacks. Please visit our website (Tokyo Great Cycling Tour) for more information.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Amazing tour! We biked 30 km, but it didn't feel like it because we made frequent stops in interesting places, where the guides Hana and Toshi gave us information about those places. There were only a few hills that were steep, but the guides didn't have a problem waiting for anyone walking their bike up the hill, so don't let the "hills" part scare you away from discovering Tokyo off the beaten tourist path. Lunch and a snacks were included!
These are the places we explored:
Ginza shopping avenue
Hibiya Park
Imperial Palace
Yasukuni Shrine
Kagurazaka
Rikuguen Japanese Garden
Yanaka
Nezu Shinto Shrine
Ueno Park
Akihabara

If you're heading to Tokyo, there is no better way to see some of this amazing city than taking one of the cycling routes with this tour company. This is our second trip around Tokyo with TGCT, and it won't be our last.

We did route f. We were promised a route that was away from the tourists and that is exactly what we got. A brilliant, easy, ride with knowledgeable guides. I know Tokyo pretty well having visited many times and I saw an area I had never seen before. Simply had a great day.

I did two trips - E and F. I have travelled all of my life and I want to kick myself for not doing a cycling tour before. It was so much more than I could have hoped for. The guides on both tours (Hiroto and Takashi) were incredibly helpful and managed to keep me safe riding in a city with 14 million or so people. It was so well planned and the streets weren't as hectic as I thought they would be. You do a fair number of kilometres so your legs need to be ready for that sort of distance, but gee, what a way to see a city. The owner Yuki can be very proud of what she has created at TGCT.

Naoko made the ride easy and safe. We loved experiencing the back streets of Tokyo as well as learning ing about some of the history and traditions of Japan.
Bikes were great to ride and really well maintained. It was a fun day out for our small group.
A great way to see the city.

A wonderful experience with a small group and fantastic host. Our guide Yukisan was amazing and very kind about helping us find a place to watch the football in the evening - would highly recommend!

Superb experience with Tokyo Great Tour. Our kids 10 and 13 enjoyed biking with a group of adults. We are a family of 4 and were joined by another group of 4 people. The guides were friendly and helpful. We have biked in many places like Milan, Beijing, Thailand , etc … this is one of the friendliest tours, with snacks and drinks after the ride .. they were so warm and kind. Other tours ended abruptly at the end with people paying and saying goodbyes, but this tour did it with style.
the tour stops were perfect and we were tired and happy after the 27km ride. Highly recommended if you’re in Tokyo and would like to see if from a different perspective. Kids enjoyed the lunch and ice cream stops. Biking was long but they did it! And we were all happy at the end. Perfect weather on early Nov 2023.

I had an amazing experience with Tokyo Great Cycling Tour! From the moment we started, it was clear this tour was something special. The knowledgeable and friendly guides made the entire journey engaging and informative. The route took us through beautiful scenic spots and hidden gems of Tokyo that I wouldn't have discovered on my own. This tour is a fantastic way to explore Tokyo, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

This was a great bay tour with Toshi and Hiroto!
Toshi was very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information about Tokyo. The routes we cycled were often traffic free and we got to see parts of Tokyo we would never have seen on our own. Chosen lunch restaurant was really good too. Hiroto offered me some great advice about cycling techniques!
We would recommend this trip very highly!

This was a fantastic tour round the Tokyo bay area. Plenty of stop offs, with lots of cycling. Yoshi and Hiroto were great guides!

Hi,
We are thinking about taking this tour with our kids ages 12, 10 and 7. Knowing Tokyo is a busy place with lots of cars/ traffic, is it safe for the kids to join us? They are used to riding in the bike lane with minimal street traffic here in the US. Please give us some advice. Thank you so much in advance !

Hi Lillian - We did Tour C with our children, aged 7 and 9, a couple of years ago and never felt they were in an unsafe place. From memory there were a couple of busy road crossings (which we did as a group) but mostly cycle ways and very quiet streets and paths. Was one of our highlights from our Japan trip, and we esp loved riding on all the closed city roads on the Sunday afternoon . You will all love it :)
Hello there, I'm traveling to Tokyo for few days and would like to ride there. I didn't bring my bike with me, do you know where i can rent a bike and join the trip?

My 18 year old son and I ride bikes at home and are fit, so we can probably do any tour. Which tour do your recommend and why?

You will be fit enough as the ride is done at a pace to suit all participants. It is worth doing as it as directly opposing experience from the Vegas strip and about 20 minutes away- hilarious!!
Do I need to enroll before departure? What is the charges?

I've had the pleasure of enjoying incredible bike tours in Thailand, and would love to do it again! However, we our visiting in the middle of February and I am reluctant due to weather. How do you guys accommodate winter weather, if it is an issue during that time of year?

Hi, I'm Yukiko from Tokyo Great Cycling Tour. Thank you for your inquiry about our bike tour. We are running tour all year round including middle of February. Yes, February is the coldest time in the year but if you put on a wind proof jacket,(like ski jacket) fleece, gloves etc.., cycling is still doable. Actually we have many guests even in winter :-)
