Do this tour - fun, lots to see and experience - Just book it! Great way to get oriented and see, hear and learn about Kyoto history. Sean, our guide was so knowledgeable and spent time at the end of tour to answer my and other travelers’ Japan specific questions and gave us great lunch recs. The Waygu beef spot was awesome!! Small group so as a solo traveler it was awesome to talk and share insights on Japan trips.This was my first time on an e-bike — it was super easy. I don’t like going downhill (yikes too fast) and there was only one big descent. Only wish for this tour was that I knew the itinerary before as I could have eliminated duplicating visits to the same temple. Other than that, everything was terrific!

Excellent tour! - Excellent bike tour! Michael was a terrific guide and really knowledgeable about the history of the temples and shrines. The bikes were good, ride through the neighborhoods fun with a nice stop for tea at the end. Great recommendations for dinner and we had a really enjoyable evening eating yakinuki with another couple from the tour. Highly recommend this tour of hidden Kyoto.

Nice buke and walk arounf Kyoto - Good tour hitting some of Kyoto’s main sights and getting some unique commentary from our guide Henry. I recommend this tour to anyone in good enough shape to ride a bike around town, including one or two steep hill climbs. I really enjoyed the stop at the 13th oldest business in the word.

Yuta and the best tour in Kyoto - This was the best tour we did on our trip to Japan. The bikes were very easy to ride and our tour guide Yuta was incredible. He was very passionate and knowledgable about Kyoto and its history. We especially enjoyed the meditation at the Zen Buddhist temple lead by Yuta. He was incredibly patient with the less experienced riders in our group. He also gave an incredible lunch recommendation.

Great way to experience kyoto - We had a great time on our tour with Michael! Such a great way to explore Kyoto for a day trip and so many nice destinations that are not overcrowded and places you wouldn’t know about otherwise that are so lovely. Michael was also a great tour guide who was very informative and entertaining throughout the whole experience Will definitely recommend this to anyone travelling to Kyoto.
