Full day cycling tour - A really great way to see Kyoto and experience a few of the sights in a day. Perfect way to see a few of the shrines and temples without our 16 year old dragging his feet! Juan was engaging and fun with just the right amount of information. Thanks very much!

Terrific day in Kyoto! - Absolutely fantastic guide- Julian was top shelf. Great overview of Kyoto, tons of lovely stops and a delicious lunch at a four hundred year old noodle shop. Julian was passionate about showing us all of Kyoto and explaining everything in a clear and concise manner. He navigated all questions well, and the bikes were great. Definitely a must do in Kyoto

Cannot recommend this enough. - We did a private tour with Quin, and it was a wonderful way to see Kyoto. Quin went out of his way to adjust our route for my mobility challenged mother. Answered every question we had, any question he didn’t have an answer to he immediately asked and found out the correct answer. He was very patient and had sooo much knowledge about each site we visited it’s one of the best tour guides we have every had and we a very frequent travellers around the globe. We had e-bikes so the biking was very easy, they provided 2 water bottles- one frozen so it was cold into the after noon. They also adjusted to particular sites we were interested in that were off the normal route, very easy pre-trip communication. Cannot recommend this way of seeing Kyoto enough. I mean you could just peddle to temples yourself but you would never get the knowledge and understanding and importance of each site through out history that you would with a guide like Quin. Worth the money.

Great service – Fun Day - Very fun day in Kyoto. So many interesting sites and learned about Japanese history and the language. We even learned how to count from one to 10 in Japanese! I got lost going to the shop. They called me when I did not show up and found me and put me on the next ride. Very nice of them. Much appreciated.
