Rina was an incredible guide - five star experience! She delivered a very informative tour of so much more than the Ninja Temple. She wasn’t allowed to tour us through the Ninja Temple and it wasn’t worth our time. I wished we had skipped it and had more time with Rina seeing sights around the city.

This was an outstanding tour. Operator has great knowledge and communicated very well throughout. She showed us great understanding and concern for the extremely hot weather, and made sure we spent time in the shade, took good breaks, and were well hydrated. This truly was a fantastic experience, and is one I highly recommend.
Our guide, Gori, was super knowledgeable and friendly. He spoke great English and educated us along the way.
We had an excellent time with our guide Rina who ensured we had a fun and memorable experience. She was very easy to talk to and was very engaging when addressing particular topics throughout the tour. Using the e-bikes made getting to and from the tour destinations very easy and we had no troubles with Rina guiding us through the streets. Payment cards were provided at the beginning of the tour which saved us from having to download any e-bike apps.
Our private e-bike tour with Rina was awesome! She was super knowledgeable and because the e-bikes were on day passes, we were able to enjoy them for the rest of the day after the tour as well. The Ninja Temple was INCREDIBLE. Even though the tour was in Japanese only, they give you English books to follow along and it didn’t feel like we missed out on anything. Having tea and exploring with Rina was a lot of fun as well. Don’t miss this tour!
We had a great time. Rina was patient with our mixed skill level with city biking. We were able to see a lot more I'm one afternoon then we could have otherwise. The tea spot was beautiful and delicious.
Our guide was very nice and gave us lots of interesting information about the castle and Samurai district. A tea ceremony in a room overlooking a pretty garden was also part of our tour. During the tour she gave us recommendations on areas to go visit and good ice cream and food places and we stopped at a couple souvenir shops. Overall a great tour—a big benefit is learning how to use the public system of e-bikes and then having the bikes for the rest of the day exploring the city after the tour is over. Kanazawa is an easy city to bike around with lots of bike lanes or sidewalks marked for bikes.
Liam was a great tour guide, the biking was fun, he took us to several places where we learned the history of the samurai and geisha districts, and the castle and garden grounds. Also, we had a tea ceremony, which was lovely. Nice tour! Thanks!
Kanazawa is a hidden gem! The tour took us through stunning gardens, historical sites, and traditional crafts. The guide was knowledgeable and made the experience truly memorable. Loved the e-bikes.
Brilliant ride around Kanazawa. Ti was a wonderful informative guide with lots of knowledge. He was fun and patient with my teenagers and flexible with our itinerary.
The best way to get the feel of a new city. Tea was a great guide, really informative and funny. Nice little e bikes too. Totally recommend this trip.
An extremely personable guide with a wealth of local and country wide knowledge. A brilliant eco tour that lead us to all of the famous sights without clock watching ensuring we had a full afternoon experience. It was fantastic that we could continue to use the e bikes until midnight allowing us to get to our hotel, dinner reservation and back hassle free. Thank you Ti for a great afternoon.
Excellent, friendly , knowledgeable, very client minded .we have done a great tour I would recommend without hesitation
Our guide Ti was amazing! Full of fun facts and very accommodating to what we wanted to see! Loved the modern architecture he showed us! Riding ebikes was easy and made the high temperatures berable! It was a wonderful day!
This was the best tour I took in my trip to Japan! Ti was an amazing tour guide & the tour took me to many sites around Kanazawa. Ti explained a lot about the history of the sites we stopped/e-biked through. I was lucky bc that day the weather was perfect- I travelled from Osaka via bullet train to Kanazawa in the morning & was able to have this amazing tour the day I arrived in Kanazawa! Ti grew up in Kanazawa & is a local presently - he was very personable & his English was awesome! I appreciated this tour for all that we saw & the ninja temple was pretty neat! Ti took time to make sure I was comfortable with the use of the e-bike (it was my first time using one) and also I would recommend this tour to anyone going to visit Kanazawa. If you are going to Japan- Kanazawa is a must! I loved it there! Thank you Ti for this amazing tour!
This was hands down the best tour I took in Japan! Ti my tour guide for the e-bike tour was amazing! He was a local & his English was awesome! He explained very well the history & the locations in which we toured via e-bike. I appreciated how he was extremely personable & always checking if I wanted to stop for something to eat ect. I was extremely lucky that day as the weather was perfect & being the first time on an e-bike Ti was very helpful & thorough in how to operate the bike. I wish I had more time in Kanazawa bc it was amazing! It was one of my favourite places in my trip to Japan! I recommend this tour to anyone! I took a morning train from Osaka & was able to enjoy this tour after dropping off my luggage at my accommodations.
Door de fietstour zag je alles van de stad en de tourgids wist veel te vertellen en was flexibel. Het was een erg leuke en leerzame dag. Toen ik de tour deed was het erg heet maar op de e-bike merkte je dat minder omdat het minder inspanning geeft. De Ninja tempel was interessant om van binnen te zien en te zien wat voor geheimen deuren en trappen er waren in het gebouw. I
The tour guide Ti was really friendly and took care of everything. Overall it was a great tour that is highly recommended if you are in Kanazawa.
