5.00We visited key shrines/temples and the famous Arashiyama bamboo forest with our guide Diego. He was the perfect guide: kind, patient and full of fun facts about the history of each site. The bikes are well maintained and the routes scenic. We had the option of eating at a food court that had spectacular street food. A definite must- do when in Kyoto!

3.00Difficult to find with no signage hidden down back road. Five hour electric bike tour stopping at 3 destinations. Informative and pleasant . With quite a lot of walking at places. 45 minutes in a restaurant where we did not want to eat lunch. Would have been better if stopped in a main area where everyone could make their own choice. A good experience needs tweaking to make it better.

5.00This bike tour not only visits the main attractions, but it takes you through the narrow streets of Kyoto and is full of information and good food! Jody was very knowledgeable, and shared a lot of tips and tricks that have helped us through our travels in Kyoto and Japan! It was fascinating learning about the religions of Japan while biking all along the way! The e-bikes were great! Would absolutely do it again!
