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.

We loved this bike tour. Our group was myself, my boyfriend, and his son and daughter who are 16 & 27. We were a little concerned about height and the folding bikes because while I am 5'2 everyone else is 5'7,5'11 and 6'2 but it wasn't an issue. We were in Japan for 10 days did a number of tours and excursions- a tea tasting, food tour and mount fuji and of them all this was my favorite. It was so exhilarating biking the streets of Tokyo and Taki gave us the Cultutral background. We did this on the last day of our trip and everywhere we went was a place we had not already seen. I hope to return to Japan again in the next few years and this is one that I will do again.

A thoughtful, well planned and safe adventure for the whole family. Diverse and unique stops kept everyone entertained. We learned new things, like how to visit a shrine. A memorable experience.

We had a really wonderful time and enjoyed seeing many sights we would not have seen otherwise. Takeshi was kind, well spoken and patient. We did not feel any rush at all and he gave us the opportunity to explore a few places on our own. There were a few nice surprises along the way I won’t spoil. Highly recommend!

Very nice trip, visiting new places where most organised trips don't come. Quality bicycles and very good explanations by the guide who speaks very well english.

My 16 year old daughter and I did the tour with Takeshi, which turned out to be a private tour. I was born and lived in Japan till i was 13, so do have some familiarity with Tokyo, but a learned a lot of things about downtown Tokyo (this is the traditional downtown area of Tokyo, near the Skytree).
We did a tour with another operator in Tokyo, which was also a good tour, but we definitely thought the route of this tour was better. The itinerary is very well thought through, and is just the right distance and time for a half day bike trip. It is not strenuous by any means (ground is flat), and a combination of interesting stops at temples, shrines, shops, places to take photo spots. The sakura-mochi (mochi wrapped in cherry leaves) store was a cool place to learn about the store that's been around since Edo period making one item. Takeshi is also fluent in English, and was very careful and thoughtful in his guiding. Would highly recommend as a half day activity, and you can probably combine it with a longer stop at one of shitamachi attractions.

Takeshi was a great guide. It was a lot of fun cycling around the Back Streets of Tokyo, we especially enjoyed cycling on a Brompton bike as it felt like home from home! The cherry cake was a lovely, thoughtful touch and the Sake stop near the end was great. After sampling a variety of Sake we bought a lovely bottle of Sake that we enjoyed back at our hotel later. Takeshi adapted the tour for our interests so we saw different aspects of Tokyo than expected. Highly recommended.

Takeshi was an awesome guide (v good English) and this was the perfect way to get familiar with this part of the city (Sumida and Taiko) on our first day in Tokyo. Interesting stops, mix of history and local life including a 300 year old sweet shop and family-owned sake store. And Take took a lot of great pics! Bikes were quality btw and practically new.

My wife and I had a great private tour with Takeshi. We saw both a Shinto temple and Budhist temple, candy factory, and plenty of beautiful sights. Great 2 1/2 hour tour of a part of Tokyo neighborhood that we wouldn’t have seen on our own. It was also great to have the personal/local knowledge of Takeshi. We highly recommend him and the tour.
