5.00Awesome. If you can ride a push bike you'll love it. Great for teenagers too. A real experience. Guide was Yotu and he was practicing Zen Buddhism. Took us to beautiful and, most importantly, quiet temples and shrines. Chatted about the history and Buddhism and even did some meditation with us. A great guy and real privilege to meet and hear his insights. Learned more about Japan in 2 hrs than I had in 5 days prior.
What an Adventure

5.00This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Yuta was an amazing guide - full of great knowledge, spoke excellent English which was engaging and humorous, he adjusted with the group and made this excursion so memorable. The bikes were excellent and such a fun way to experience Kyoto up close. So glad we took the road less traveled - it was nice to get away from the busy touristy spots.
A MUST-DO bike tour in Kyoto!

5.00This is one of the best bike tours we have ever done! It is an absolute must do in Kyoto. Michael is an amazing guide with excellent English and he’s very knowledgeable when it comes to Japanese history and culture. Some of the “secrets” on this tour were things we would have never learned on our own. I highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to Kyoto.
Great experience!

5.00The visit of Kyoto was truly great! Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot about the sites we visited, the history of the city and Kyoto's daily life. Thanks again for taking us to places I would have never found by myself !
