We loved experiencing the city on bicycle which gave it a different feeling than walking in a crowd. Our guide’s enthusiasm, storytelling, and background made the tour incredible. We highly recommend this tour to everyone!

Excellent Quick Tour of the Osaka Food Scene

Carolyn_K, Apr 2024

Matt was a very good guide to the Osaka food scene and we sampled several different types of dishes - all delicious! We enjoyed the group dynamics as well. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience

chantal_W, Apr 2024

Great cycle and eat tour with Dan It was amazing I recommend it to all who wants to test Osaka food We really enjoy

Fun and tasty way to explore Osaka

Kiana_A, Apr 2024

Another fun Japan tour booked through Viator. Really enjoyed experiencing Osaka through cycling particularly on such a beautiful day. Tour took us through Osaka Castle park with the cherry blossoms onto the several eateries. Food included fresh sushi (our guide kindly let me try eel which I've been wanting to try whilst in Japan), takoyaki, okonomiyaki; melon pan and curry pan, Korean pancakes in Korea Town and gyoza and omlette and rice. All the food was great and in places a tourist would not necessarily come across. Great value for money (don't go with a full stomach!).

#1 Cycle Experience in Osaka!

Robert_P, Apr 2024

It was a lot of fun! Or guide did aam great job of teaching is the history and feeding us amazing food!

Perfect mix of a sightseeing and eating delicious food!

Audrey_A, Mar 2024

Favorite part of the tour…everything! From start to finish this tour was better than I expected. The bike fitting/selection was easy, the pace of the bike ride was comfortable and I felt quite safe even when sharing the road with cars at some points. The food stops were fantastic. Most of the bike ride is on flat road with just a few mini uphills (not major). The sightseeing both on the ride and stops were very nice and we were lucky the weather was warm as the plum blossoms were blooming at Osaka Castle. I enjoyed every food stop, from udon noodle to sushi, and we had just enough at each stop asI was not uncomfortable to continue bike riding. I would like to take another tour with Cycle Osaka the next time I visit!

Wonderful and fun

Adriana_V, Mar 2024

It was a great experience we had a lot of fun and the tour was amazing, great food, very knowledgeable

Amazing, 10/10

Tori_B, Mar 2024

We had a large group that joined this tour. The guide was so understanding when our group got lost and showed up a bit behind schedule. Fortunately we were the group. there was rain on the way and he did a great job of giving us an amazing bike tour while being mindful of the weather. We had a man amazing time sampling all of the food and learning about its significance. These tours take you places where you wouldn’t normally visit as a tourist. The tour also passéd the Osaka castle which was Stunning. The tour mostly took place on quiet paths Therefore it was easy to keep up with a group of 7. No major fitness is needed. The paths are mostly flat. The tour guide provided bikes specifically for our heights to ensure comfort. If you go on this tour and don’t enjoy yourself, you might not have wanted to enjoy it. It was my favorite Osaka experience.

Fantastic experience!

Great experience and delicious food! Our guides were knowledgeable and personable. We would definitely recommend tour to our friends and family.

Great pace! Great food!

Tricia_Y, Oct 2023

One of my highlights and a perfect way to explore Osaka! Maeko took great care of our group and guided us to the less touristy spots of Osaka. My favourite was the standing sushi bar where we had sushi I wouldnt have ordinarily ate. Food was spot on! Bikes were comfortable, pace was just nice!

Great bike/food tour.

Rick_B, Aug 2023

Another great tour in Japan! Yuki was a great guide and took us around Osaka and went to great places to try local food. Yuki was able to provide us with the local history of Osaka and I highly recommend going on this tour.

Foodie adventures

We had a terrific time with Matt. The food spots were great and lots of variety. The views along the way were just right, nothing too strenuous

Do this tour first!

Marjorie_D, Mar 2023

I enjoyed learning about the different types of typical Osaka food, and getting to see Osaka Castle was a bonus! On a scale of 1 to 10, our guide Matt was an eleven!

Thumbs up

Anita_C, Mar 2023

Matt from Alaska is a great guide offering great food options! Knowledgeable, knows his way around. It’s a good orientation tour

An awesome way to experience Osaka!

jodie_c, Nov 2022

We had a great time cycling around Osaka with Matt enjoying local delicacies. Matt was very knowledgeable & easy to hear whilst riding.

I highly recommend this tour! Not...

Carlo V, Apr 2018

I highly recommend this tour! Not only will you get to try different foods that the locals themselves actually eat apart from the typical ones that we tourists know like sushi, ramen, etc., you will also get to do some sightseeing as well. Ben was awesome- not only was he very knowledgeable and but also very accommodating!

Fantástica experiencia!
