Q１: Can my children join a guided tour as well?

A: Of course! We offer mountain bikes for children (height 120cm-135cm) and juniors (height 135cm-145cm). Also, we offer kids chairs that can be used by children up to 22kg in weight. You’re very welcome to join our guided group tours together!
(Because the number of children’s bicycles is limited, please make a reservation as soon as you can.)

Q６: I don’t feel too confident in my physical fitness, can I still participate in a guided tour?
A: We use bicycles with an electric assist, so everyone can easily ride a bicycle with only using half the power. Customers have said that they could easily ride a 10km to 20km distance with those bicycles.
(Please note that children’s bicycles do not have an electric assist.)



Q７: What kind of clothes should I wear?
A: Depending on the season, please come in clothes that are appropriate for a cycling tour. Sporty shoes like sneakers and comfortable pants are recommended.
During the hot summer, you are advised to bring hats, sunglasses and a towel. If you have clothes that are quick-drying, sweat will not make you feel uncomfortable.
In cold weather, please bring warm clothing such as gloves and knit hats, as well as windbreakers and fleece jackets.
Q８: Is there a place to store my luggage?
A: We will keep it at the reception desk.
Q９: Can I also take part in a tour on my own?
A: Of course! Please feel welcome to join.
Q１０: Are there bathroom breaks during the tour?
A: Naturally we will make bathroom stops during the tour. Please inform your tour guide in case you need an extra bathroom break before it’s too late.
Q１１: Is insurance included?
A: We have an accident insurance based on the law. The insurance fee for that is included in the tour price.
