5.00We made a nice bike tour of 3 hours with Makoto. We were able to indicate ourselves which places we wanted to visit and Makoto then took us there by bike. He gave a lot of valuable information about Kyoto and was also very interested in the Netherlands. We definitely recommend this guide and bike tour!
We learned a lot about the Japanese culture and visited beautiful spots.

5.00We had an amazing cycle tour with Nozomi Fujita on our third day or four in Kyoto. Nozomi was a lovely guide - great company, so knowledgeable and friendly and happy to answer our many questions! The tour covered the lovey back streets of Kyoto that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. We learned the true facts and history of the city, including lots of interesting information on the enigmatic Geisha, who we were lucky enough to spot the previous day in the Gion district. We mentioned to Nozomi that we were keen to take some authentic Japanese ceramics back home and she added a stop to a beautiful store to the end of the tour where we spent a while choosing some great pieces. Nozomi happily went over the allotted time as she was keen to get in all the temples, shrines and key spots of the city. She was conscious of our safety at all times and gave a great brief of what to expect and all the safety elements at the beginning. Excellent value for money and a great thing to do on a first trip to this beautiful city! We would highly recommend! Arigato gazaimasou!
Super!
