Great Kyoto E-Biking Tour! - Really fun tour on e-bikes. Saw so much and off the beaten path. Highlight was Golden Pavilion Temple, although crowded. Highlight also were shrines and temples without any crowds, and learning so much about Kyoto's history and religions.

We had an amazing time on... - We had an amazing time on our bike tour in Kyoto today! Our guide, Yuta, was outstanding, he spoke excellent English, making it easy for us to understand all the fascinating stories and historical insights he shared. Yuta was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience really fun and engaging. He took us through beautiful neighborhoods and hidden spots we would have never found on our own. The tour was perfectly paced and very well organized. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Thank you, Yuta!

Best way to see a city - on e-bike! - We had a wonderful time on this excursion! Our teenage son, had never ridden an e-bike before but was able to keep up with the group. Sean, our guide, was very knowledgable. We only had one day in Kyoto on our vacation, and it was a great way to get an abridged introduction to the city's offerings, from Shinto and Buddhist shrines and temples to the golden Kinkaku-Ji, to the oldest candy shop in the world.

An Unforgettable, Hands-On Kyoto Experience with a Fantastic Guide! - Yuta, our tour guide was great! He was extremely knowledgeable about each site we visited, he also took the time to explain the significance each location where we stopped. It was very much a hands on experience when it came to visiting some of the shrines and temples. We really enjoyed the meditation lesson and the visit to the mochi restaurant. He also had great recommendations for food in the area as well as hikes. It was a blast exploring Kyoto and seeing places that were less traveled.

Amazing views & great workout - Wow wow wow, Yuta took us places that had few-to-none tourists, so we could experience peaceful moments where we could fully appreciate these places. Additionally, Yuta provided history in a way that was more than ticking off the timeline—it added context that made the historical timeline come to life and provided a deeper understanding of Japanese culture. Recommend being in shape as the e-bike helps (and is necessary) as it’s a solid workout, and absolutely worth it!

Fantastic way to see the less touristy parts of Kyoto - Fantastic offbeat tour of Kyoto with great guide (Yuta) who provided wonderful insights on Kyoto, Japanese culture and Zen Buddhism. I cannot recommend this tour enough.
