This was an excellent way to see the city and sample some local food. Our guide was a native of Osaka but had lived in Tokyo for 5 years so he was a great resource for the specific culture of Osaka. We only did a day trip to Osaka and I wished we spent more time there. The people are incredibly friendly and chatty. Bicycling through this city is very easy and there are just the right amount of stops along the way. We weren’t able to try all the local street food but ask your guide for local recommendations if you’re spending more than a day there. Ookini for a great ride!

Had a fun time with Matt meeting people from Greece, UK , Italy, Canada and the US and enjoying great food and bike touring. Try it, you are going to like it.

Excellent tour - the tour guide is knowledgeable and attentive, great selection of the route and comfortable pace.

Great tour and great food (we are foodies and loved it!). Yuki was the perfect guide and told us a lot about Japanese culture, which was very appreciated. Arigato gozaimasu for the great experience! Absolute recommendation!!!

Took the bike and food tour and it was an excellent experience. We were able to see a lot of North Osaka while tasting traditional Japanese dishes. Our tour guide was so personable and very knowledgeable about the food scene in Osaka. It was so fun! I would do it again.

Our ride with Cycle Osaka was great! It was a fun way to see the city, we covered a lot of ground, and we had a great guide. Would recommend.

I set the tour up with Sam. Sam was knowledgeable and prompt in getting back with me. Very helpful in letting me know that my food allergies would be taken cared of. On the day of the tour, we got over to the meeting point and its a little hard to find as we were early. If you are early look for a mailbox that says Cycle Osaka :-) We met Matt and our fellow tour mates and it was a really nice group. There was another couple from California as well as a family of 4 from Hong Kong. Everyone was pleasant and great to hang out with. During our tour one of the bikes had a mishap with a pedal coming off. Matt was able to get a bike replacement in short order so we could continue. Curve balls happen, the question is how you handle them. Matt handled it like a Champ. We then stopped for lunch. Matt made sure that there was no fish in our ramen due to allergies. It was great being able to eat without worrying whether there would be an allergic reaction. And the ramen was delicious. When I got back, I realized one of my work colleagues also had Matt as a tour guide the week prior. My colleague took my recommendation and used Cycle Osaka. He had a private tour with his family and was also very happy with his tour. Finally, Matt took many pictures (including group pics) which he sent to us after the tour. Great Memories! Highly recommend :-)

This was one of the highlights of our Japan visit because we got to go off-the-beaten-tourist path to experience food where the locals would eat. Cycling in the city along with pedestrians, bicyclist, and cars was a bit scary for us, novice cyclist, but we all managed to get around and enjoyed a different perspective of Japan life. Sam was extremely accommodating to our groups' needs and personalized the food choices. We got to know him, and through that, we learned about life in Osaka, along with eating delicious food. It was not enough to feel like we had a full meal, but we got a taste of a variety of local foods. Sam, we appreciate your kindness and hospitality!

Thank you Matt for being so pleasant and informative. We enjoyed the neighborhood routes and historical stops. Our family had an awesome time on the tour. Many thanks.

Family with 10 year old and 18 year old. One of the rare activities where both kids had a great time! Sam was excellent guide, food was delicious (especially the dessert!) and great way to spend a half day in Osaka. And yes they have kids bikes.

This was the best day we had in Osaka. Matt was very knowledgeable and good fun. The ride wasn’t too tricky, easy for beginners and kids.

Thoroughly enjoyed our time on this tour. Took a private family tour, kids and all, with guide Matt. Bikes were comfortable, lots of stops and things to see! Checked out Osaka Castle, among others, and several food spots. Enjoyed by adults and kids alike. Matt was kind, so funny and very knowledgeable. Got to know us and crafted things based on our interests as we went. Highly recommend for a great time and fun introduction to Osaka!

This tour was the highlight of our trip to Osaka and one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Mayco was an absolutely fantastic guide, showing us all the hidden tasty treats of Osaka and adding some history in as well. We loved the small group dynamics and the fun of cycling around the city. I would one hundred per cent recommend this tour to anyone visiting Japan’s food city!

This was a wonderfully insightful trip of Osaka. What better way to see Osaka than on a bike. Our guide, Matt, was friendly, adaptable and brought the history of the area to life. I would highly recommend.

Fun and easy going ride through Osaka - we clocked about 13 miles aver the course of the day. Mako was a great guide, keeping the ducks in a row and orchestrating a delicious lunch, and offering a cold coffee after a hilly section. An interesting mix of parks, riverside and busy city streets. My only complaint was that at times it was hard to hear Mako and she seemed to miss my "hand around the ear" sign to speak up.
