Great way to spend the morning! - This cycling tour is a great way to see the city and to spend a few hours of your morning. Ayaka was very knowledgable and I had great fun with her on the tour. She speaks very good English too. The tour covers some good areas and Ayaka had lots of tips. I would recommend this to anyone.

The temple and its markets were great for us seeing as we won’t have found it with our you. I loved the Japanese food - We loved all the new opportunities we got as well as all the fun facts we learnt about Tokyo and it’s history. Riding though new places was super fun.

Fast riding through an early dark October evening, best for experienced riders. - While I personally enjoyed the thrill of riding through Tokyo in the early dark of October, it would not be for everyone.
I was the only participant. My guide rode fast and didn’t look back once she saw that I could keep up, and occasionally she would take off like a shot and I’d have to scramble. Tokyo cyclists sometimes ride on the sidewalks and maneuver through busy crowds, which was sometimes tricky (and strangely fun) to have to follow. My guide didn’t always have a lot to say about our stops, but she was nice and tried to personalize where we went. She lost her way a couple of times and after checking her phone, we had to double back.
While that guide would not be great for less experienced cyclists, another guide might be just fine, and riding in Tokyo was something I’m glad to have done.

Room for improvement - Whilst we had a wonderful guide for this trip and I hope things get significantly better unfortunately I cannot recommend this as it current is organised. Mainly from a safety perspective we were out with a guide clearly inexperienced in managing a cycling tour which, combined with the hectic roads of Tokyo, no lights or safety equipment really isn't acceptable. I'm sure the guide will improve with time - we all have to start somewhere but setting them up with sufficient training and bike safety equipment would be recommended.
