Maki-san was hands down the best tour guide we’ve had thus far. The E-bike ride through Kyoto and tour guide explanations of the rich history was superb! With Kyoto being mostly flat roads and E-bike assistance, it was not as tiring as we thought. Maki-san went above and beyond in keeping our family comfortable in the sweltering August heat. She provided water, rest stops and cooling body sprays at no additional charge. She also took time to let our sons experience some fortune telling at the shrines. One out of the three got really good luck so I how it sticks. We highly recommend you book this tour with Maki the next time you’re in Kyoto. You won’t regret it!!!

I enjoyed the ride, despite the brutal heat. My favorite part was riding through the neighborhoods of homes and along the river. The ride was easy on an electric bike. Very few hills. Bring plenty of water during the summer months. An electrolyte drink is also recommended. We did stop at the convenience store to get an electrolyte drink and additional water.

Great E bike tour around the historic areas of Kyoto. We received a lot of information and history of the shrines, temples and Geisha. It was especially nice to go to some lesser traveled spots to be able to enjoy without the huge crowds that seem to be everywhere in Kyoto. And of course the E bike and the ride along the river was icing on the cake. Two thumbs up!
