Fantastic tour through a less travelled part of the amazing city of Tokyo. Andy does a great job showing off his backyard with a unique Aussie view of life in Tokyo. Worth the day out.

What a great experience! Cycling around the local streets was awesome, learning more about how daily life in Tokyo runs. Andy was an excellent guide and sorted us out with delicious snacks and lunch. Taught us a few eye openers about some of the micro cultures in Japan too 😂. Highly recommend.

This was an absolutely phenomenal experience! My family of 4 (two daughters ages 13 and 15) had a blast with Andy biking through the streets of Tokyo. I was a little apprehensive before the tour that we might be overwhelmed navigating the crowds and traffic but Andy took us on a route through the mostly calm back streets of Koenji and the surrounding neighborhoods. It was fascinating to see a side of Tokyo you just don't get when hitting the tourist hot spots. An added bonus was Andy's commentary as a long time resident about the daily life of raising a family in Tokyo, all while hitting some fantastic street food options. The standing Soba meal was a highlight of our trip. This is a tour not to be missed!

We had a great time. The food was fun and the ride was great. The ride was wasn’t that hard except for the tight spaces.

My experience with DIG Tokyo Tours, led by our guide Andy, was amazing. It was the highlight of my trip to Tokyo and exceeded my expectations. Andy took us to the neighborhoods of Nakano, Koenji, and Asagaya, showing us hidden gems that are off the beaten path from typical Tokyo tourist traps. We tried excellent street food and biked and walked through beautiful neighborhoods, parks, and shopping districts. The whole experience felt like you were experiencing Tokyo more as a local than as a tourist. As a local himself, Andy had incredible insights to share with us and we learned a lot about Japanese culture and history. We couldn't have asked for a better guide than Andy who was very friendly, always happy to answer questions, and was attentive to the group's wellbeing, making sure no one was left too far behind while biking. Our group of 8 was of varying cycling and athletic abilities and we all managed to keep up over the course of the 3-4 hours. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tokyo, first-timers and seasoned vets alike.

Really enjoyed our trip out with Andy and seeing some of his favourite spots. The food was great, the tour route was well judged, Andy was a great host: warm, friendly, funny, knowledgeable. I’d happily come back for another ride.

When we booked out trip to Japan mid-year, we were advised by people who we knew that we 100% needed to do a food and cycling tour with DIG TOKYO TOURS. The guide is an Aussie (Andy) and he gives you a look at the seldom seen parts of Tokyo riding around on restored Japanese Bicycles. On this advice, we booked the tour. In the week leading up to the tour, we did another cycking and food tour through Osaka (see previous review) which only got us more excited for the tour through Tokyo. The meeting point was easy to find - bear in mind, the trains and subway system in Japan is the best public transport system in the world for foreigners - very simple to follow when using Google Maps. I managed to take us in the wrong direction and we got horribly lost. We emailed Andy to tell him that we were going to be late and unfortunately, we'd have to miss the tour. He rang us and gave us instruction on what train line to catch and that he would wait for us - turns out we weren't that far away. Great start to the tour! When we finally arrived, we walked from the train station to where Andy keeps the bikes. The bikes were Mamasari bikes that Andy had salvaged and lovingly retored - they were awesome. Both my wife and kids loved riding them. The bikes do not have gears, but you don't need them. The path Andy takes you on is winding but flat. The information about the local neighbourhoods and how they operate are informative and really interesting. My 12 year old was gobsmacked at some of them!! The food experiences were authentic and enjoyable. The path that Andy takes you is very "out of the way" and you'd be unlikely to experience it if you didn't do his tour. Part of the tour encompassed a trip to the Nakano Broadway and the narrow streets that house a lot of the local restaurants and bars - you will definately have an authentic experience in this district! We went back to that area the night after the tour, whch we never would have found on our own, and had a great evening. Overall, so glad that we were recommended DIG TOKYO TOURS - One of the best expereiences of our holiday! Paying it foward, we can't recommend enough!

I learned so much about Japanese culture that I did not know from Andy - and tried foods I haven't yet tried (which is impressive, because this is my third trip to Japan and I have Tokyo-based friends!). It was really fun to be introduced to two parts of the city I haven't explored by someone who knows the area so well. Also, Koenji has a ton of fantastic vintage shops, so my sister and I did a *lot* of shopping after our tour wrapped. So fun!

Andy’s bike and food tour of Tokyo was a highlight of our time in Tokyo. We weaved through residential neighborhoods in Tokyo while Andy gave us glimpses into Japanese life. He was interesting and knowledgeable about all aspects of Japanese culture. We also walked around Nakano and enjoyed a sampling of typical foods which was fun. We learned so much from Andy and enjoyed joking around with him. His charisma and relaxed attitude makes for a very enjoyable afternoon. We highly recommend this off the beaten path tour!

This has easily become one of the major highlights of my entire Japan trip!!! It was absolutely amazing, and provided a local insight into the lived experience of Japan and the local areas of Koenji and Nakano! We would have never gone to these areas had we not booked this, and little did we know these would become some of our favourite areas in all of Tokyo. The tour guide, Andy, is so lovely, friendly and deeply informative. We tried many different types of great local food from vendors and got a lot of advice for what to do for the feast of our trip. 1000/10 could not recommend more!!

This awesome tour is so much fun and perfect to get a glimpse of suburban Tokyo, see how locals live and try food and snacks run by locals. Andy was an exceptional guide - he was considerate about speed and traffic and super friendly. Could not recommend enough and will be back for more!

Absolutely brilliant, well worth doing. Andy is so knowledgeable and so friendly. A really chilled out experience with an amazing insight into japanese Street food, all really tasty. All topped off with a drink and chat. Fabulous couple of hours. Thank you Andy from us all.

I loved experiencing "local life" on a bike with Andy. I had no idea so many people in Tokyo commuted around via bikes. The tour ride itself was easy as we wandered through charming neighborhoods, parks, old alleys (just to name a few) & stopping along the way to eat at gems that I otherwise wouldn't have known about. If there's only 1 tour that you do in Tokyo, its gotta be this! It truly is such an authentic experience that I will always cherish.

Great day out with Andy! Learned and saw a very different Tokyo in a charming neighbourhood away from the usual big 'sights', something that a casual visitor would not be able to experience. Such a wonderful day!!!

Andy, our Australian guide, was just what we were looking for! He patiently answered all our questions. He gave us a better understanding of daily life in Japan. It was so much fun to ride up through different neighborhoods, getting an understanding of how they go to work, put out garbage and deal with living is such tight spaces. The exposure to local foods and markets was just wonderful. Andy was a fabulous host!
