My experience with DIG Tokyo Tours, led by our guide Andy, was amazing. It was the highlight of my trip to Tokyo and exceeded my expectations.
Andy took us to the neighborhoods of Nakano, Koenji, and Asagaya, showing us hidden gems that are off the beaten path from typical Tokyo tourist traps.
We tried excellent street food and biked and walked through beautiful neighborhoods, parks, and shopping districts. The whole experience felt like you were experiencing Tokyo more as a local than as a tourist.
As a local himself, Andy had incredible insights to share with us and we learned a lot about Japanese culture and history. We couldn't have asked for a better guide than Andy who was very friendly, always happy to answer questions, and was attentive to the group's wellbeing, making sure no one was left too far behind while biking. Our group of 8 was of varying cycling and athletic abilities and we all managed to keep up over the course of the 3-4 hours.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tokyo, first-timers and seasoned vets alike.

Hi Vince, Great to hear from you mate! It was brilliant meeting all of the family on our Tokyo bike tour together around the west-side of town. Really happy to read that the bike ride was on of the highlights of the trip and that the whole group felt comfortable and confident on the bikes weaving through the narrow streets around town. All the best to everyone back in their respective cities and I hope you managed to track down that passport! It was an absolute pleasure, Andy!

I loved experiencing "local life" on a bike with Andy. I had no idea so many people in Tokyo commuted around via bikes. The tour ride itself was easy as we wandered through charming neighborhoods, parks, old alleys (just to name a few) & stopping along the way to eat at gems that I otherwise wouldn't have known about. If there's only 1 tour that you do in Tokyo, its gotta be this! It truly is such an authentic experience that I will always cherish.

Hey Susan, Thanks again for your support and jumping on the bikes for our Tokyo bike tour together, it was a real pleasure riding with you both the other week. Really happy to hear that you enjoyed learning a bit about cycling culture here in Tokyo and enjoyed the authentic 'unscripted' style of experience. I hope you're both doing well back home and be sure to say hello if you're ever back in town, Andy!

This has easily become one of the major highlights of my entire Japan trip!!! It was absolutely amazing, and provided a local insight into the lived experience of Japan and the local areas of Koenji and Nakano! We would have never gone to these areas had we not booked this, and little did we know these would become some of our favourite areas in all of Tokyo. The tour guide, Andy, is so lovely, friendly and deeply informative. We tried many different types of great local food from vendors and got a lot of advice for what to do for the feast of our trip. 1000/10 could not recommend more!!

Andy’s bike and food tour of Tokyo was a highlight of our time in Tokyo. We weaved through residential neighborhoods in Tokyo while Andy gave us glimpses into Japanese life. He was interesting and knowledgeable about all aspects of Japanese culture. We also walked around Nakano and enjoyed a sampling of typical foods which was fun. We learned so much from Andy and enjoyed joking around with him. His charisma and relaxed attitude makes for a very enjoyable afternoon. We highly recommend this off the beaten path tour!

This awesome tour is so much fun and perfect to get a glimpse of suburban Tokyo, see how locals live and try food and snacks run by locals. Andy was an exceptional guide - he was considerate about speed and traffic and super friendly. Could not recommend enough and will be back for more!

Andy, our Australian guide, was just what we were looking for! He patiently answered all our questions. He gave us a better understanding of daily life in Japan. It was so much fun to ride up through different neighborhoods, getting an understanding of how they go to work, put out garbage and deal with living is such tight spaces. The exposure to local foods and markets was just wonderful. Andy was a fabulous host!

What a great experience! Cycling around the local streets was awesome, learning more about how daily life in Tokyo runs. Andy was an excellent guide and sorted us out with delicious snacks and lunch. Taught us a few eye openers about some of the micro cultures in Japan too 😂. Highly recommend.

Really enjoyed our trip out with Andy and seeing some of his favourite spots. The food was great, the tour route was well judged, Andy was a great host: warm, friendly, funny, knowledgeable. I’d happily come back for another ride.

And do this tour ... loved this. My husband regretted waiting to the end of our trip to do this as Andy gave us a great overview of the Japanese culture, a bike through the quaintest of streets and a taste of local street foods that were oishii desu ne!! We were at the end of trip so thought we may have already have ticked away off a lot of the things but this was not the case. Everything was new and a breakout from the many guide books. Including the two women out walking their pet owls in the suburbs. Brilliant day. Thanks Andy !

Hi Kellie, It was fantastic cycling with the family around the twisting streets of West-Tokyo yesterday. Once again, thanks for taking the time to track me down online and for all the support! Happy to hear that you enjoyed the neighbourhoods and selection of food for the day. I'd like to say I planned the owls... but nothings a surprise in Tokyo! All the best to the family, Andy!

Andy was an excellent tour guide! He was full of knowledge of the area and the culture. He took us through so many cool little streets we would have never visited otherwise! The neighborhoods we explored we so interesting and low key which was a nice change. The lunch was awesome as well as the other tastings. We also enjoyed exploring the Boardwalk shopping area. I highly recommend this tour and Andy (it's his business). Excellent tour!

Hi Andrea,
Good to hear that you've been enjoying yourselves and thanks for saying hello!
On the morning of the 10th I'm running the group cycling and food tour in the local neighbourhoods of Koenji, Asagaya and Nakano. I've got 3 spots remaining but I can squeeze your group of 4 in if interested.
Details of the ride can be found on the website.
Enjoy your day out together,
Andy!

Hi, we are traveling as a family of 4 adults and 2 kids (aged 4 and 8). Wondering if you have bikes that allow us to carry the kids along? Thanks.
Written November 18, 2019
Thanks for saying hello! I have child seats available for your 4 year old but your 8 year old would need to be capable of riding a bike. Cheers, Andy!

Do you have any three wheeled bikes (trike)? We would like to come on your tour but our 11 year old is not a confident bike rider.
Written July 22, 2019
Hi Jane,
Thanks for saying hello! I don't have trikes unfortunately. If your 11 year old isn't competent on a bike this particular group ride definitely isn't suitable. I do offer a walking and food tour of the area in the afternoon that may be more appropriate.
Cheers,
Andy!

Going to be in Tokyo Sept '19 would like to take bicycle tour on Saturday September 21. Do u have spots available,how much and is Rose Garden hotel in Shinjuku close enough to make it on time?

Hi John, thanks for saying hello! No availability on the 21st unfortunately, things are starting to heat up around that period due to the Rugby World Cup being in town. If it suits your schedule I have plenty of spots currently available on the 19th and 24th. Koenji Station, our starting point, is an easy 10 minute train ride from Shinjuku. Rates are published on Tripadvisor and my homepage. Cheers, Andy!
