Interesting, Insightful and Fun!!!! - Had a fantastic experience with Jorge yesterday. He was so insightful, funny, patient and engaging. Not only was the bike ride around town beautiful, but getting such an educated introduction to the histories and rituals of the temples and shrines was invaluable, and gave us a much more in-depth appreciation for Kyoto. Highly recommend this experience!

OMG! Jorgé you're the best! - Brilliant! Just brilliant!!! Jorgé 's knowledge of the Shrines and Temples, Shintoism and Buddhism was so informative...... Bundle that up with a fun bike ride through the backstreets of Kyoto and Arashiyama. So good! Bikes were as new. Super easy, so good for all abilities. Tip: get the e-bike. For a little more it just takes the labour out of it. Extra tip: if you book on the 25 day of the month, you get to experience a true gem in the way of a local market, with yummy treats and fantastic antiques to tempt you.

Best way to see Kyoto - A great way to see the sights of Kyoto. Our guides were amazing and the tour met all my expectations. Highly recommended. I hadn't ridden a bike for as long as I could remember but typically, once you get going, it was great fun. Lunch was awesome too.

Highly recommend. - Highly recommend this tour. Great selection of shrines and temples, accompanied by an exhilarating cycle through Kyoto on e-bikes. Our guide Pohan was very knowledgeable, explaining the history of each of the shrines and temples and providing us with an opportunity to participate in the traditional customs. Would recommend stocking up on low value coins prior to this tour so that you can participate in the ceremonies (for example purchasing prayer candles and making wishes). Really enjoyed the walk through the bamboo forest and Pohan provided us the opportunity to select where we wanted to finish off the walk in Arashiyama. Overall, one of our favourite tours so far!

Incredible bike tour! - Wonderful experience for our family of four. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, a true pleasure to spend the day with. We wish we had done this tour first as we learned a great deal about the history of the shrines, temples and Japan in general. E bikes in excellent shape, very easy to use. Very nice that one guide rode at lead and another rode at the back to be sure everyone stayed together. Stop for lunch was very fun and unique as well. We highly recommend this tour!

Lovely day out in Kyoto - It was an exceptional day. Pohan our tour guide looked after everything. His English was excellent and he had great knowledge of all the sites we visited. The electric bikes made the ride so enjoyable. It was a really fun day and we think the best way to see the main areas of interest in Kyoto. Not to be missed.
