Excellent first day in Kyoto activity - We did the early morning bike tour of East Kyoto, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is just arriving. It’s a great way to see a large part of the city and also scope out places that you would like to see with more depth. Julian was an incredible guide and really made the day enjoyable all around. The tour included a stop off for lunch and had very casual way of seeing the city.

Fun day sightseeing - We had an absolute blast on our E-Bike Tour. Jamie made this a very entertaining tour all while providing much insight and knowledge of the history of Kyoto. The ride was at a good pace and traveled almost effortlessly through many quieter paths and roads. Definitely would recommend to others.

Painless way to see a lot of Kyoto in a short period of time - Great experience on E bikes as we visited many of the popular attractions. Our guide Jaime was very well versed in Japanese culture and history despite not being a native. Not only was he informative but quite the entertainer. Overall this tour is well worth the price and highly recommended.

Great way to see Kyoto - Great way to see so much of Kyoto. Lunch spot was great! Karl made sure the vegetarians were taken care of. I would not recommend this if you are not comfortable on a bike, so many tourist to dodge and you need to keep pace with the group.
