Nara cycling tour - Our guide was so nice and friendly! The tour itself was so fun and relaxing and by cycling it was easier to explore those areas. We had a good time thank you very much!

A 5 star, make that a 6 star, bike tour of Nara! - Robert went above and beyond to provide the highlight of my five day visit to Kyoto. I highly recommend him if you would like a premier bike tour of Nara. Tip: The e-bike made the trip so easy.

Great way to See Nara but Be in shape! - Great trip had a great time at Nara, but I will say that trip on the sidewalk to Nara was dangerous. I would recommend people be in their 20s and 30s because it is a rigorous trail. My son was 12 and my mom was 70 and it was a very hard trail.

A must do in Nara if you like biking! - Robert guided us with agility in all the Nara park area, well known must see, and more secret areas, reviewing some of the main Japan’s historical facts and religious keys. Beside the outstanding sightseeing aspect, this visit made a lot of sense for me. Make sure you can ride a bike before booking this tour. Electric or not, there is not so much difference if you’re used to standard bikes. I strongly recommend!

Enjoyable Bike Tour - We selected this tour for the bike ride through the city. The tour guide was clear and knowledgeable in her explanations of the history. She cared about the tour and kept all of us well-informed. I maintained the same word count while correcting the grammar and making the language slightly more formal and precise.

Above and beyond - I left my wallet on the bus and the tour guide Robert went above and beyond to help me find it! He then proceeded to give me the entire tour after the delay. Really kind and helped to make a stressful situation a lot better.

Bowing deer - We saw many amazing sights and our guide was knowledgeable. The bikes we easy to use and great on the hills. Maybe felt a little rushed at the end when we were going through great parks and could have stopped for a few pics. Overall would recommend.

Bike tour of Nara! - Just want to say Melody was a great bicycle tour host. She provided us with nice bikes that fit our size and lots of safety info. She also provided many facts about all locations and gave us plenty of time. The trip to knife makers shop was great for shopping. I did find it odd that she would only take photos of us with her phone which was a much older phone/camera than my IPhone. The pics were to be available at a later date (after we posted a positive review?) We did not receive a What’s App communication until the morning of, and it was from someone in another city not the actual leader of the tour. Turns out we got on the wrong bus and were going to be a little late but after all the rushing we were the only ones on the tour, which would have been nice to know at the time. I would still recommend this tour and especially with Melody. We got to ride bikes in Japan!

They cancelled on me two days before the tour. - We ended up going on our own and had a terrible experience at Nara because the tour company advised me two days prior to the tour that they needed to cancel. I do NOT recommend them.
