2.00Tour guide spoke way too much. Only 1hr 45 min ride, rest standing and talking. Places we went were nice but guide talked so much, i was uninterested and would have left if i could. The tour went 45 mins over finish tome due to the talking :( on a bike tour i expected more riding than talking. Tour guide loved to talk alot about things not relevant to tour.
I highly recommend seeing...

5.00I highly recommend seeing Kyoto at night by bike. Juan was an excellent guide. He ensured I felt safe on the bike. Riding along the river, seeing the temples and shrines lit up were beautiful. I ended up being the only person on the tour. Thank you for not canceling as it was one of the highlights of my trip.
A unique and fun experience

4.00We enjoyed this unique tour. Guide is very friendly and knowledgeable. The only advice is to ensure you’re a fairly proficient bike rider. This is not the ride for first timers. I would recommend only taking the tour if you have a warmer night (over 45 degrees). We went on a night that got down to 35 degrees and windy so impacted our experience so should have factored that earlier ourselves.
