We were two couples on tour & we really enjoyed everything about our tour from the very easy to ride electric bikes, to where we visited & of course our guides. We had May & Yuri who were both extremely friendly ladies. The reason for our 9 out of 10 was that at times we did struggle to understand May...we totally acknowledge that if we could speak Japanese then communicating would not have been an issue. Yuri’s English was fantastic & we hope that May’s will continue to improve as she is just delightful & so passionate about the city she was born in. Would highly recommend the tour!629janellej

Great tour! We would recommend it to anyone. Tomomi was a superb tour guide. She explained all the monuments, and made the tour meaningful. We would never have found all of those things on our own. We didn't expect the electric bikes but it worked out really well; we got to see a lot more sites in 3 hours then we would have walking the whole day. We went with 2 children 12/7, and they loved it as well.Andrew_S
