5.00Very easy paced tour by bike, a little fitness required. Taken to a lot of the to do spots in the old parts off of Kyoto, along the river with chances to hop off the bike and walk around the attractions. The ride on some roads is not intimidating at all, even for our slightly nervous 13 year old.
