5.00Taking a bike tour around Kyoto is the best way to see not only the sights, but take a look around parts of the city you never see. The e-bikes were so easy to ride, I love riding them. We had plenty of site visits, stopped for a Japanese lunch - the beef hotpot was incredible. Finished up around 3pm. Was the perfect day. I totally recommend this tour. Our guide Pohan was the best, nothing was too much trouble. Book this if in Kyoto!

5.00Jeorge was a wonderful guide, he had extensive knowledge that helped to understand what we were seeing and we had a very memorable experience and would highly recommend this trip to all. There were 10 of us including 6 children and everyone was able to cope very well, and there was no complaints from the kids (which is unusual) :)

5.00George was knowledgeable, friendly and kept us safe the entire time. We couldn’t be happier with the tour. He was able to answer any and all questions, very professional and loved the tour! He explained everything from streets we would be crossing and the laws for riding bikes in Kyoto. Could not have gone better, truly he made us fall in love with Kyoto!

Our guide, Pohan, was extremely informative, interesting and friendly and made the day very enjoyable for our family. The bikes were all in great working order.
