    Although this is a bike tour, wear comfy shoes as there is also quite a bit of walking at the many points of interest. Our guide, Yuki, was informative and easy to understand. He is a Kyoto local and made many suggestions for restaurants and general info about Japanese culture and Kyoto.

    This was so unexpectedly awesome!!!! So much I would never have known or experienced without Ben (our English guide) and his personalized tour + love for Kyoto. My wife and I will remember this trip forever. Worth the money - DO it! You will still have the entire day to do whatever you have planned.
