Nice relaxing experience - Excellent relaxing trip . Went through alleyways which normal tourist would not venture stated at slightly middle class suburbs into richer alleyways behind shibuya with large bungalows . My son was elated to cycle past Shibuta crossing in his bike with all the crowd . It was an excellent experience for him since he lives Japanese culture . Bikes were giant road bikes well serviced and is immaculate condition. Taichi san for the memorable existence .

Outstanding bike tour - We had a wonderful experience with Tai Chi exploring many back streets, parks and hidden gems, which we would have never uncovered and experienced by ourselves. He was informative and easy to understand. He even customized the tour slightly as we had already visited Shibuya crossing. This was an outstanding bike tour which I would highly recommend.

Hidden Gem - Ikeda’s cycling tour was absolutely the best tour guide we had in Japan. We so appreciated the teaching and instructions of local bike courtesy and riding in Japan. He knew the area so well and was able to take alternative routes as needed. His awareness of us following and hand directions/signaling were remarkable. Best of all, the highlights of each area we stopped and told about were of all interests level: young, older, youth, readers, sports enthusiasts, local history and hidden gems. I was concerned about my ability since I’m a leisure/nice weather bicyclist; his route was very doable and fun. Ikeda’s bike tour is truly a hidden gem!

Outstanding tour with Taichi! - My wife and I had an outstanding bike tour with Taichi today! He took us down many quiet streets, showed us many sites, and told us a lot of history about Tokyo. We even stopped for a while and had an excellent walking tour around the Shubuya crossing area. Taichi's English is very good, and he's very friendly and flexible. He took us on a detour to find a shop with some food we wanted to buy. The bicycles were great too, lightweight Giant bikes with well-tuned brakes and gears. One of the best city bike tours I've had - very highly recommended!

Unreliable. Don’t book their tours. - I feel that this tour company may be a scam. We were at the meeting point advised on our voucher ten minutes before the appointed departure time. We waited for more than an hour and the guide did not arrive. Eventually we left. We have reached out via WhatsApp and sent two emails requesting a refund for the no show and haven’t received a response. Don’t use this company.
