5.00It’s about an 18 mile bike ride that allows you to see a lot of the city that you’d not experience otherwise.
Best way to see Kyoto!

5.00Great way to see Kyoto. Generally flat, the route is safe and easy to follow. Much more fun to bike than to walk. And our guide Paul was knowledgeable, fun and very organized in sharing little stories at each stop. Our teens who would lose interest if they had to listen to long presentations were engaged and had fun the whole day. We saw ALOT and lunch was delicious
Highly recommend

Lunch was delicious too (unlike some other tours I've been on). The pace was perfect, and seemed to suit everyone in the group. Thank you for a lovely day ☺️
