Excellent guide, especially enjoyed cycling through Fukuoka castle ruins and Ohori park. - Cycling through Ohori park and the Fukuoka castle ruins were the highlights. Our guide Haruka was great, and we felt safe at all times. We always find that a cyclng tour is the best way to start to get to know a new city when we visit, and this was certainly the case with our Fukuoka cycling experience . Thank you!

Great Way to See the City - Our guide Haru was great! He kept our group together and provided us with information at each stop. The break at the cafe in Ohori Park for a sweet treat was appreciated. This was a perfect day and a perfect way to see the city close up. We would recommend this tour to our family and friends.

Interesting bike ride through Fukuoka and Hakata - This trip was a very interesting discovery of both sides of Fukuoka (Fukuoka and Hakata). While the guide was Japanese, there was a "baito" student who functioned as a translator between the guide and me. We cycled through busy and calm streets of Fukuoka and visited the remains of Fukuoka Castle, Ohori Park, a small and old candy shop, Shofuku-ji and Kushida Shrine. The explanation was really interesting, the weather really nice and both the guide and the translator were really friendly. This gets a thumbs up from me.

Cycling with Haru - Haruka our guide was knowledgeable, funny and he always ensured that we felt safe as we navigated our way through the windy city streets and narrow lanes of Fukuoka. The Sakura was blooming, the city was buzzing and the ramen was delicious. Thank you for a fantastic afternoon Haruka! Thoroughly recommend this experience.

Title of review - I had a great time cycling through Osaka. The weather was perfect and we saw all of the major attractions. Our guide was an expert on Osaka and its history.

17km scenic ride experience of Fukuoka - Haruka, our guide, is friendly and English is ok. The tour is a nice way to get a taste of the different part of Fukuoka city. The 17km of bike ride is good, with rest spots at various attraction sites.

Good cycling but not much historical information - The student guide was friendly. He was very caring to ensure my safety while cycling on the road. He also took care of my need and introduced me Japanese sweets and desserts. The bike was also in good condition . However, I felt that the historical tour didn’t meet my expectation of a historical tour of Kyushu. About 10-15% of the information was given. I am not sure if a professional guide is needed. For the trips I booked in Australia and Europe with Trip Advisor, this was totally different in terms of historical discovery. The company should invest in training their guides about the country’s history. Overall, cycling was fun on the road but lack of historical elements.
