Cool and unique bike tour!! - Initially, while I was on my trip in Japan, I was looking to book a bike tour in Tokyo but due to my schedule being packed, I wasn't able to. I knew that I would be spending some time in Osaka and Kyoto so I came across this bike tour in Osaka and I was immediately drawn to the itinerary because it just seemed different from all of the other bike tours I had came across. As someone who loves and appreciates art (who is also an art major and designer), this tour was exactly what I was looking for. Luckily for me, I was the only traveler (solo) who had booked the tour for that day and Eric (the tour guide) took me on a cool journey through the streets and small alleys of Osaka checking out some awesome wall art from different artists. Seeing one of Eric's pieces on the tour was also a nice surprise. Every artist (including Eric) had a story behind their artwork and Eric is a great storyteller. This tour was very unique and memorable. It was like riding through a "street gallery" lol. You never knew what you were gonna see because some of these art murals are tucked away behind buildings. Some are front-facing and some are on the side. If you're someone who appreciates art or you're just looking for something different and unique, this just might be the tour for you. It's laid back and I felt totally safe riding with Eric. He made a cool riding partner and it was nice to learn about his background as well as the Japanese culture. Because I was lucky enough to have the tour all to myself, Eric was able to show me some other cool art gems that I probably wouldn't have seen if I was booked with a bigger group. And the pizza stop at the end was a nice wrap up to the tour (pizza is soooo good lol). I'd go again just for the pie slice lol. I'd definitely recommend this tour to art lovers or to anyone who just wants to experience a different and unique type of tour that's outside of just seeing shrines and monuments.

Art, bikes, pizza & coffee - what more could you want?! - A brilliant tour of the lesser known parts of Osaka, excellently hosted by the knowledgable and entertaining Reuben. The street art was all so different and beautiful, with incredible coffee and pizza thrown into the mix. Definitely recommend.

Do it, you will have fun - Excellent bike tour and Eric our guide was the right person for the job. He knows the art, the artists and the history of the project and artworks. Great coffee, an old school Izakaya and a slice of NY style pizza. Cool fun getting around on the bike too.

An amazing start to our time in Osaka - My wife and I joined Reuben on the street art tour yesterday. We can not recommend this tour more highly. Reuben was an incredible tour guide. He's just one of those people where he's just immediately easy to talk to, and he's funny to boot. Reuben is also involved in the local art scene and knows some of the artists whose work we viewed. His passion for the subject matter was evident and highly appreciated. If you're considering Cycle Osaka for the tourism trips, I totally get it. But I would encourage you to consider giving the street art tour a try. You'll see a side of Osaka that's just outside the standard tourism path and really get a feel for the beating of the city. Also, the coffee, bar, and pizza places we visited were all fantastic and the people there were all so incredibly friendly. Thank you Reuben for sharing your love for this city. We went during the summer and while it was hot it was also manageable. (resubmitted because typos)

Absolutely fantastic - Absolutely fantastic, Eric was great fun, and became part of our friend group very quickly. The pub stop was a hoot with the locals, we would highly recommend this tour

Fantastic bike ride... - Fantastic bike ride seeing so many sights and felt very safe. Communication was excellent and the group small enough to enjoy everything together

A fun, art filled bike tour, with good food along the way - My friend and I both agreed that this bike tour was one of the highlights of our 2 week trip through Japan and Korea. Eric, our tour guide, was fun to chat with and shared a lot of really cool info about the art pieces included in the tour. There were several stops along the way for coffee, snacks, etc., each one unique and interesting, with the final stop at Hughes Pizza where we got to chat with the owner and enjoy some really delicious pizza and beer. The tour overall was pretty chill, with only one or two hills that were moderate, but short. The bikes were easy to ride and I had no trouble figuring out how to shift the gears. We also really enjoyed getting to know all the other people on the tour. It was a medium sized group, about 7 other people I think, so we were able to actually chat and get to know each other a bit. This was such a great way to spend the day and a fun way to see Osaka and experience the street art. I highly recommend this tour!

Great insight to another side of Osaka - Reuben was an excellent guide and very informative and passionate about Osakas art scene. Great fun to see a different side to Osaka and some good stops, particularly the stand up local bar for a snack and drink. Highly recommend

Highly recommend, so much fun! - Fabulous street art tour, highly recommend. Definitely a highlight of our trip. Great way to explore the non-touristy areas of Osaka.

Well worth it! - Great experience! The guide's knowledge and connection to the area and art made the tour well worth it. Overall the tour isn't difficult regarding fitness levels.
