Great tour around lesser-known spots in Kyoto!

5.00We had a great tour with Henry! He was super knowledgeable and took us to places we wouldn’t have found on our own; the time flew by even in the August heat. Henry also shared some great restaurant and site seeing recommendations after the tour. Highly recommend this tour if you’re interested in learning more about some off-the-beaten path locations in Kyoto.

5.00So much fun! I loved that this tour was a bit active, but in an easier way with the e-bikes. Because of the bikes, we got to cover so much more area. It was a hot summer day but this was super manageable. Our guide Henry was so awesome. Funny and extremely knowledgeable, it was easy for our group to get into fun discussions on Japanese history, economics, traditions, misconceptions, and obscure historical events! Henry definitely made the tour feel special, you can tell he really cares, way better than some commercial style type tours we’ve been on.
Brilliant tour away from the crowds
