Amazing tour to start with Kyoto (fullday, family of 5, with teenagers) - Very well organized tour going through all major spots of Kyoto. Exceptional care of the guide starting from related pieces of history to each spot, covering details like bottle of water provided for each rider but as well fulfilled again by the tour guide during hot day, not mentioning excelent local restaurant for lunch covered in tour fee. Perfect. The best way to begin your stay in Kyoto. After that you can cherry pick what you can experience by your own in detail. + quality bikes all sizes + Pictures and videos of the tour shared afterwards + Organization and communication before and after event.. all smooth Thank you the team

Great tour to experience the best of Kyoto - Really enjoyed the full day tour with Quinn. He gave us a great overview at all the sites and accommodated all photo requests. He also was also able to gauge the good ability of the group which allowed some additional stops. The main sites are well spread out so biking is the ideal way to see Kyoto. It also allowed you to get a sense of the city beyond the main tourist sites. Highly recommended

Fantastic all day tour - Fantastic cycle tour of Kyoto. Indra was a witty, well informed guide who both gave us detailed information about the various locations we visited along with a sly outsiders insight into the culture. Thoroughly recommended.

Amazing tour! - We had so much fun! We saw so much of Kyoto on this tour. We biked 20 miles and walked 14,000 steps, which was a lot and got tiring by the end. We’re still exhausted a day later. But our guide was enthusiastic and we saw so much of the city. We liked riding through the spaghetti streets and even saw extra stops in addition to the tour itinerary. 10/10 recommend!

Wonderful bike tour - I loved the tour with Quin as guide. You get to see most of Kyoto’s highlights. Biking is easy in Kyoto, lunch was perfect, but above all you learn a lot about the history of this wonderful part of Japan.

20+ Miles of Site Seeing in Kyoto! - Quinn was a fantastic guide! We all had a wonderful full day of biking, walking and being educated on everything Kyoto. My favorite was riding the bikes through the spaghetti streets! We saw a lot in 20 miles and definitely got plenty of exercise in for the day!

Rain or Shine you’re in for an Awesome Time! - Absolutely wonderful time! Our guide Quin was a total pro. He really knows his history, met everyone’s needs and comfort level, kept the group on a great route the whole time. Even in the rain, this was an excellent tour and he is an incredible guide! Highly recommend this activity and company!

Getting to know Kyoto by bike - Nice way to discover Kyoto with a guide who can take you into the history and background of Kyoto. The tour may have been a little shorter than expected, no problem because we understood that our cycling pace was a little higher than average;). Lunch was delicious, good restaurant and guide shows to be a fine host.
