Magical day! - We took this tour with small family including our younger son and it was the best experience! The day was beautiful and the leaves were changing color so it was extra special. The ebikes make the journey so easy. Jay was an excellent tour guide, patient, knowledgable and enthusiastic. He navigated us through busy streets perfectly and we also got to bike along peaceful waterways. This is one of the best activities we have done on our journey and I highly recommend it.

Perfect. - We had a great day with our guide and the people who were part of the group that day, it was fun, interesting and easy (electric bike). This allows us to have a different insight into Kyoto and invites us to come back and admire more if necessary

Exploring by e-bike. - We had a fabulous time with Quinn. E-biking around the city is a great way to cover lots of ground quickly. We saw a lot of sites and Quinn provided lots of information. You will love it.

Thanks Julian, good times - Great way to see Kyoto, a combination of the major sites and local streets. Coffee shop stop was hip, lunch place was delightful. Julian gave us a lot of insight on Japanese culture from an outsider perspective. Learned a lot, and had a great time. Ebikes were definitely the way to go for covering as much ground as we did.
