Much more than just going by bike ! - Great day! We highly recommend this experience off the beaten track. You would not go to these places without guidance of local people.

Definite must do - What a fantastic experience. Eric is an amazing guide. As you’ll read in other reviews, Eric is an artist himself so you’ll not only get all the insider tips but all sorts of other fascinating insights as you go. Well paced, fun. A great way to see Osaka, local eateries and coffee houses and the art is just incredible. The aspiring artists in our family group loved the conversation with Eric and also his great stickers! Thanks Eric and Cycle Osaka

Ace! - This is a cracker of a tour through the backstreets of Osaka! The art is totally fab & Eric is super - knowledgeable, thoughtful & fun. An artist himself, he has intimate anecdotes galore about the street art & can answer any questions you throw his way. It’s well-paced with just the right amount of cycling, admiring and eating. Eric clocks on quickly to what might float your boat & adds a personalised touch. I freaking loved the stand-up bar & the pizza is to die for. Without the tour, there is so much of Osaka we wouldn’t have seen or known existed. Truly a highlight. Do it!

Impressive and beautiful way to discover hidden gems in Osaka! - What a great tour! We were very lucky to have a private tour with Erik, who showed us a beautiful and definitely not so touristy part of Osaka on comfy bikes. We highly recommend this tour if you’re into (street) art, if you enjoy cycling, or if you simply want to explore Osaka beyond its crowded center. We also had some very nice stops on the way, where Erik made sure to accommodate our dietary wishes (vegan). Thanks a lot, Erik!

The best experience of our trip. - If you really want to experience the street art scene in the back streets of Osaka, this tour is the best. Eric, an artist himself is extremely knowledgeable about the vast number of wall arts we visited. But there’s more which added to the experience…and that was the food and drink experiences throughout the tour. We met friendly locals in a pub, where we had some local delicacies and store owners like Hughsey, who has a NY style pizza shop. This was all part of the tour. We highly recommend this tour if you enjoy biking around back streets as an experience. Thanks Eric, Dave and April

A wonderful trek off the beaten path - This bike tour was definitely one of the top highlights of our trip to Japan. We covered a lot of ground away from touristy areas, saw a lot of great art, and visited food spots that we otherwise wouldn't have discovered. Navigating the crowds and shopping centers on bikes can be a little tricky if you're not used to it, but our guide was flexible to the pacing of our group (which had a wide range of bike experience) so no one got left behind. We had great conversation, and a great time. Our guide even gave us recommendations of other restaurants to check out on our own later in the evening, which ended up being very memorable as well. Thanks Eric!!

Ride with Eric - This is the tour you need to take if you want to see Osaka outside of the busy tourist spots. Eric, our guide, was splendid. Highly recommended for those who want to bike around cool neighborhoods.
