Thoughtful and thorough

Published on Mar, 2025

Ichi, our guide, was considerate and thorough. The route and sights were well curated and thoughtful. This was a complete tour of Kamakura via bikes. It was a super fun way to cover all the sights. Ebikes, a bonus! Highly recommend.

Bike ride in the rain in Kamakura

Published on Mar, 2025

The best gide on the bike in the rain. Speaks good english. And tell nice story's about the place and culture. We have seen a lot of Kamakura.

An amazing tour of Kamakura

Published on Jul, 2024

Our tour guide Ichi did an amazing job explaining the complex history of Japan in a concise way while giving interesting details about the significance of the Bakufu, which started in Kamakura. The tour included very popular spots like the Great Buddha and Hokokuji. It also took us to other parts of Kamakura that I would not have explored on my own. It was fascinating, and I would say this is a must-do when traveling to Kamakura!

Unforgettable experience exploring Kamakura

Published on Jul, 2024

I had the most incredible experience on the private bike tour in Kamakura with my friends. The tour was truly unforgettable. Our guide was exceptional, adding a layer of depth and knowledge to the rich history of Kamakura. Bonus, he is bilingual in English and Japanese! Exploring the historical wonders of Kamakura on a bike tour was a unique adventure. What I loved most about this tour was the flexibility it offered. We could choose our preferred mode of exploration and adjust our schedule within the tour's timeframe to match our interests but still covered so many spots we wanted to check out and experience. The guide took many photos of us as we explored, which was awesome. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to dive deep into Kamakura's heritage and experience its beauty up close and have fun!
