Perfect day

Yassan is an excellent guide. The equipment is safe and the walk very pleasant.

Operator response

Merci d'avoir participé à la randonnée cycliste de Narita. Nous sommes ravis que le vélo hybride vous ait plu. Nous vérifions et entretenons systématiquement les vélos la veille de chaque randonnée. Nous avons été impressionnés par votre vitesse à vélo. Nous pensons que c'est l'un des avantages de n'avoir qu'un seul groupe par jour. Nous espérons vous revoir bientôt avec votre enfant. Yassan

Very Cool and Easy Bike ride!

I am quite busy so had this cycling tour booked for. It was above my expectations. 30km of easy beautiful riding along the river, then through a historic Japanese village/town, saw a Shrine/Temple and was a very cool ride. What also made it so good was the guide. Yassan was so very welcoming, caring, and helpful. Not a bad ‘bloke’ or thing to say. Yassan thankyou very much for an excellent, enjoyable and relaxing peddle on a beautiful bike. Total Thumbs 👍 Up.👏👏👏

Operator response

Thank you very much for choosing our cycling tour at the end of your busy business trip. I heard that your wife's support made it possible for you to join us this time. Please join us on our next cycling tour with your wife. I appreciate the pleasant conversation we had.

Great way to spend our preflight day in Tokyo

We had several hours before our flight home. Yassan picked us up from our hotel and took us on a cycle the countryside, half hour out of Tokyo. Was a great experience and enjoyable way to spend our last day in Tokyo. At the end of our ride he dropped us off at the hotel where we stored our luggage before ee left for the airport

Operator response

Thank you for joining our cycling tour. Our tours are private, with one group per day, so we can flexibly accommodate your schedule, even if it's just the first or last day of your trip to Japan. The area around Narita Airport is a treasure trove of nature. We are very happy that you were able to discover another side of Japan on our cycling tour.

Cherry Blossom Bike Tour by Narita Cycle (Yassan)

My guide Yassan is a friendly person and I enjoyed myself the whole experience. He gave me an option of 2 routes and recommended the cherry blossom routes because it was in full bloom. The course he took me to was breathtakingly beautiful. I enjoyed the whole ride and recommend this this for something different when you visit Tokyo.

Operator response

Thank you for visiting another scene of Japan this time. You were very lucky to come at this time when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. I was also happy to be able to show you the cherry blossoms lined with few people so you could enjoy them at your leisure. I will continue to recommend the best places in the season. Bon boyage! Yassan.

Fun cycling tour

My daughter and I wanted to try something different to experience Japan so we booked this cycling tour. Our tour guide, Yassan, is easy to work with and friendly. The weather was hot and humid but biking along the riverbank and visiting the historical town and Katori Shrine was quite fun. Thank you for treating us to the tasty fruity popsicles from a local shop. It was a great idea in a hot day!!

Operator response

Thank you for traveling with us. Congratulations on completing the ride, parent and child, in the humid weather. We couldn't get enough mineral water in the humid weather, so we prepared fruit popsicles as a special treat. Thank you for your satisfaction. For lunch, we changed from a Japanese restaurant to a cold udon restaurant. Thank you for your enjoyment. Please continue to experience another side of Japan. There are wonderful cultural assets and old townscapes even near Narita Airport.

Great way to see local sites

I highly recommend this bike tour with Yassan. I had a 12 hour layover between international flights and the bike tour was a great way to stretch my legs and see local sites. Yassan was an incredibly kind, hospitable and well organized guide, making for a smooth tour. The bicycle was good quality and Yassan took the ride at the pace I asked for. I saw a quaint historic town and a shrine in the forest, built around a sacred power spot. Beautiful to get out into nature with a local guide. Yassan recommended a place for lunch with yummy local food which was a good experience. I had a great time, so glad I went!

Operator response

Thank you for choosing Natita Cycling Tours. Even though it was a layover, I heard that this was your first trip to Japan, so I tried to accommodate your wishes and help you understand Japanese culture and food. It was especially difficult to arrange a lunch that would please you, a vegetarian, in such a short amount of time in the heat. I'm grateful to have read your review and that you were satisfied. Please enjoy your next holiday in Japan.

Custom Bike Ride!

custom made bike ride! We had a great bike ride before our long flight! Yassan was very accommodating - we wanted to skip the temples as we had already seen many, wanted more trees/nature instead and asked for a shorter ride (20km instead of 40km). He created a different route for us and it was lovely! We cycled around a beautiful lake, with a side stop to a tree-filled park and another stop for a delicious lunch at a local cafe. The kids loved cycling through the rice paddies and seeing turtles on the bike trail. What a perfect way to end our trip to Japan! Thank you, Yassan!

Operator response

If you let us know your requests in advance, we can prepare it for you. I'm glad you met an unexpected friend (a turtle) this time. Next time, please join us on a longer tour and discover another side of Japan. Thank you for following the guide's instructions.

Highly recommended for road cycling enthusiasts!

It was really a unique experience to cycle with Yassan! As a passionate road cyclist myself, I have always been looking for 1-day road biking tours in whichever country I visit, so that I can get to explore the less touristy areas and learn more about the local nature/culture. And this tour definitely met my expectations, since Yassan not only took us to see the natural landscapes in Chiba, a lovely countryside 1 hour by train from downtown Tokyo, but also showed us several shrines, the Lake Inba-numa, and the Dutch Windmill Liefde. The vibe is totally different from the Japan I have seen. Plus, Yassan also had a VERY diverse and interesting professional background, so I enjoyed our chat as well. Kudos to Yassan! 😀

Operator response

Thank you for joining the Naritacyclingtour. I was a little nervous when I heard that you were a tour guide in your home country. However, we quickly got along well and it was a great tour. I'm thinking of joining your tour next time. Thank you for the fun time.

Bike Riding through Narita with Yassan

We had the best time with Yassan riding through country roads, past farmland and small neighborhoods, stopping to eat strawberries along the way, and topping it off with a delicious lunch at a local Japanese restaurant. If you want to enjoy local flavor with a wonderful, friendly, and knowledgeable guide, you couldn’t do any better than Yassan!

Operator response

We are glad that you were impressed by the Japanese countryside and rural scenery. Thank you for following the instructions of your guide. We look forward to seeing you again when you visit Japan.
