I wanted to do something different in terms of Tokyo sightseeing so I found this tour and went with my children.
Even though it was the peak of summer heat, the bike ride was much more pleasant and cool than I thought it would be. I worried a little bit about riding on the road, but the instructor chose a safe route and told us all of the things we should be careful of. There was nothing that I thought was dangerous. We visited several great, little-known places and got the feeling of living in Tokyo. We chose this tour so that we could ride the water bus. When we arrived in Odaiba, the sun was setting and it was beautiful. The scenery from the water bus was fantastic.
Before then we went around so many places and when we were starting to feel tired, we could eat some "Shirokuma" ice cream, which tasted great and helped us to enjoy more cycling.
It actually feels nice to peddle with your own legs!
Thank you for taking pictures at all of the important spots! My kids really seemed to like Zojo-ji, Tokyo Tower and the scenery from the Rainbow Bridge.
It was great to be able to see parts of modern and historic Tokyo. We took the half day course but it passed by so quickly and if we get the chance, I'd like to try the full day course!

The Experience was fabulous, I really enjoyed this food tour and the guide was very friendly and informative. I think is a good way to get to know local food if it is a first time travel to Tokyo and I learned a lot about local delicious food from our guide. I loved it

Kiri was an amazing tour guide! He was friendly, caring and very organised. At the end of the tour he made sure all participants knew how to get back to their hotels - this was a nice touch as it was our first night in Tokyo and we were still getting our bearings :)

The tour was well organised, the direction to meet them are clear and the meeting is easy to find also located near a underground and train station. Yumi our guide was very informative and fun. She gave us the right amount of information and also gave us the right amount of time for ourselves. I really enjoyed it, to be the first time in Tokyo it was the right half day tour to see the main important attraction in town. I recommend it!

ジェットコースターに乗っているように風を感じられて想像以上に楽しく満喫出来ました。お天気が良かったのでそれも良かったことの一因だと思います。

The trip was very well organised and gave a wonderfully rich and varied view of the city. The guide was helpful, clear and made the venues interesting.. Lunch was excellent, as was the Tea ceremony (if not the tea!!!) Most of the trip was a five star experience but in the afternoon far too much time was allocated to free time for shopping, which was of no interest whatsoever to the majority of our tour group. As a result the subsequent visit to the temple was rushed and came very late in a long day, when we were all extremely tired.

Hop on the Saddle tour was a wonderful experience! Upon arrival we were impressed by the immaculate bike garage. The bikes were well maintained and light. Helmets and gloves were provided.
Seeing Tokyo by bike provided a more intimate view of the local culture, beauty of its parks and architecture. Our tour guide was very concerned about our safety and comfort. He even brought rain ponchos for our group since our day started out with a light misty rain.
The personal touches will endear you. We had a small group of six so we stopped for a picnic in a local park while Hero, our guide, brewed various teas for us to try along with homemade banana nut bread baked by his wife.
The ride was very enjoyable. The terrain was mostly flat and easily managed. We leisurely meandered through the various neighborhoods stopping frequently to allow photos. Our guide took photos for us throughout the entire tour and will provide via email.
When we were in high traffic areas our guide would patiently wait for those who may have been separated by a red light. As long as you ride single file and to the left the busy street traffic you encounter will not be a problem. We had novice riders and they did fine. I would highly recommend this experience as an unique and fun way to see the city!

We participated in this tour as part of our singles in paradise Japan vacation. This was a perfect way to see the city and get some fresh air and excersize. The man who runs it is very nice and even brought his two lovely daughters along to help out and watch over us. The bikes seemed new and functioned very well. The route too us along some nice paths and some of the interesting sites. We stopped aking the way so he could point out different things and take pictures. Then we stopped at a place that offered sushi to go. We selected what we wanted which was part of the cost then we headed to a nice park where he spread out a tarp and we had a nice picnic. He even warned up a couple different types of tea for us. Then the final treat was fresh made banana bread that he said his wife had just made. We were well taken care of.
The route is all flat. The full day tour is 25 kilometers. We are not the youngest of fittest group but we all did fine.
I would highly recommend this tour as a great way to see the city and enjoy some exercise. I would also recommend taking a taxi there. This is located in a high rise building not real close to any trams. It threw me off since in my mind I was expecting to be meeting in a park. But Hiro runs this from that bundling where he stores the bikes.
Again, a wonderful tour. Thank you Hiro!
Thank you for your participation.
Little rain was nice ceased.
It was good weather up rain soon.
And It is fun cycling for your cooperation.
Did you enjoy the Tokyo?
Beer since the goal was very delicious.
I think back happily with daughters.
Please enjoy the Japan.

It was raining a lot the entire time we were on the tour. At the Imperial Palace, there was no time to roam around because we were following the guide and the group took many pictures under the rain. At Asakusa, we were allowed to roam around on our own and strolled along the shops at our own pace. However, we had to wait for everyone at the tour to get back on the bus. Some people choose this to be their last stop and we lost time due to miscommunication. We ended up with less than 10 minutes to spend at the outer fish market.
The main highlights of this tour is the bus ride with the audio commentary and the buffet lunch. The lunch location overlooks the bridge and statue of liberty - spectacular view. There is not enough time to explore the stops provided in the tour. It is best to choose an area to explore and have the bus drop you off as your last stop. We chose Shibuya as our last stop and walked back to Shinjuku.
Other Tips:
1. This tour is good for people arriving on the first day and dont want to explore too much.
2. If you want to eat Japanese food, i would suggest not selecting the lunch. We were full from the American lunch and did not have room to eat dinner!
3. If you like to explore and walk at your own pace (whether fast or slow), then you should not select this tour.
Dear Newbie Travelers

There's lots to see and do in this Tokyo tour. My favorite was checking out the Japanese tea garden and having tea. Also riding on the boat to see the bay. It was a good day. Definitely recommend for people who want to see Tokyo but are pressed with time.

To begin with let me highlight an important aspect of the day that may have caused our experience to be inferior. The weather on the day we took the tour was dull and raining at some of the spots
The tour is ideal for people who want to do a self-guided style tour covering most important sites of Tokyo. Since this was our first time we felt that with little guidance from the guide we were basically just strolling around and checking things ourselves
The tour started off with the Imperial Palace east garden. We just strolled past some part, took pics and we're back in the bus. Along the way we passed by some of the districts and the audio guide was helpful in understanding some aspects. But definitely nothing close to having a guide who will explain things. Next we got down at Sensoji shrine but without any guidance just pretty much strolled around. Would have liked to get some history and perspective on the structure.
The outer fish market was extremely boring - it's basically like any other market. Would have loved if the tour gave a peek into the inner market though which surely is more interesting ! Then was the Odaiba cruise which was average.
The best part of the tour was the lunch. It was an American diner with a wide spread of options from Italian to Chinese to a few Turkish dishes. Oh not to forget the traditional Japanese cuisine too.
The guide we felt was a bit inexpeienced but definitely did make our journey comfortable. She was also very accommodating and flexible
Wish this tour was as awesome as the Mt. Fuji one by the same tour company
Thank you very much for joining our tour and your comment.
Your feedback about our guiding, scheduling and contents at Imperial Palace, Asakusa, fish market would be valuable to make tours better.
We will work harder to make enjoy all customers in Tokyo.
It was great to hear that you liked our lunch.
Thank you very much, please come and visit Tokyo again!

This tour was a little different, as you get free time to explore the various areas without a guide (they can give helpful tips but don't walk with you) and then meet up again. I liked this, because I could see exactly what I wanted and try lots of sweets. It was nice to be able to choose the drop-off location,very convenient. We had good weather too, lucky!
Thank you very much for joining our tour and your comment.
We are very happy to hear that you have enjoyed Tokyo and our tour.
We hope you had great time for your whole stay in Japan and please visit Tokyo again sometime!
Thank you!

Ikumi was an engaging and informative tour guide with a gift for making friendly conversation. She gave my insights into the neighborhoods, foods and habits of Tokyo locals that I would not have learned on my own. In addition, she taught me how to use the subway system which I had been too intimidated to try on my own. It was a tour well worth taking!
