Early bird catches the temple - Our tourgide Indra did a great job of showing us the hidden gems of East Kyoto! He was very friendly and knowledgeable about all kinds of information about Kyoto. Getting up early is a must so it will be less crowded at the popular places. Given the heat of Kyoto, using the E-bikes is a must. Indra selected a place that served an excellent lunch! We were glad that he was our tour guide.

Amazing tour of Kyoto with an incredible tour guide!!! - Thoroughly loved this tour - every second of it! We went on a well-planned route that circled around Kyoto and gave a great sense of a beautiful and expansive city with key sites and areas. This general understanding was super helpful for us afterwards as a frame of reference for when we toured the city afterwards. Plus, the bike ride was just incredibly enjoyable on its own with the variety of cityscapes and landscapes - the route winding its way alongside the Duck River was awesome. A critical part of the experience was definitely our phenomenal tour guide, Mayco. She set the ground rules and directions so that the execution along the route was very clear got us straight to where we needed to go. Beyond the route itself, Mayco also was really knowledgeable about the sites and the history - our group (including myself) asked some pretty deep questions about the history and politics and she really went above-and-beyond to answer our questions. I really appreciated that she also specifically showed a few of her favorite finer detailed aspects of what we were touring, like the quirky and unique shapes of how some of the special Kyoto woodworkers fixed the wooden floor of the temples to resemble different figures like birds, dogs, and pears! Overall, the bike tour was an amazingly informative experience, great for both mind *and* heart! There’s nothing like biking on a hot day, feeling the breeze past you, as you ride around an incredible city *and* learn about the rich tapestry of history and meaning that underlies the beauty of the external facades of everything you see in Kyoto. I highly recommend taking the opportunity with Cycle Kyoto and add an even higher recommendation to see if you can get a tour led by Mayco!

What a treat, BEST way to see Kyoto!! - Booking the cycling tour of Kyoto was one of the best decisions we made on our trip! We would not have been able to see all the amazing sights we saw on foot due to time restrictions, so being able to fit so much into one day was perfect! Karl was the perfect guide, informative, funny and very generous with his time. We had the best day and the lunch venue was a real treat. I wouldn't hesitate booking a day with Karl on an e-bike to see the best of Kyoto packed with great commentary and laughter! Thanks Karl!!

Trying new things. - I recommend this tour if you truly want to explore less-crowded places. Riding along the Kamo river is indeed a beautiful experience.

Best day in Japan - With Indra as our guide, we not only saw great temples, philosopher's path, back streets of Gion but we saw a whole lot of this great city that we would have otherwise missed. Indra was full of insider tips and loads of history. If you want to understand what you are actually looking at and where to have the best Udon, sign up for this tour. It is a full day but the ebikes make it easy. Truly unforgettable and the best way to see the great city of Koyoto.

Best way to see lots of highlights in Kyoto - We had a great day with Jules! My family loves to ride bikes so we were all excited for a full day of touring. We hit all the hot spots, stopped at a cool cafe for coffees and snacks, had lunch at a unique Okinawan spot, and went home tired but happy! Jules kept his positive attitude and energy going the whole day. We love Kyoto!

A must do and give your feet a rest. - This tour was the best way to see Kyoto. Not only did it give our feet a rest for the day , but we learnt so much about the city and its people. Paul was very accommodating to all participants. A MUST DO.

Exploring Kyoto is Best by Bike! - We had an exceptional experience exploring Kyoto by bike! It was informative, interesting and entertaining and we saw far more than we would if by car or walking. Juan was charming and clearly has a deep love and respect for Japan, he provided great insight snd we enjoyed stopping for coffee and lunch during the tour. We felt well taken care of and will recommend this tour to friends and family as they travel to Kyoto.
