Excellent Kyoto Bike Tour - We had an incredible afternoon with Utah hosting this bike tour. He showed us some hidden gems of Kyoto alongside providing background to local culture . He is passionate about Kyoto and wants to share this inspiration to guests. Highly recommend taking time to include when visiting Kyoto.

10/10, a wonderful e-bike trip with Yuta - This e-bike tour of Kyoto was truly incredible. Our guide, Yuta, made the experience unforgettable by tailoring it to our group. At the start, he asked if we were okay with skipping the crowded Golden Pavilion in favor of a more peaceful spot—and we all agreed, which turned out to be a perfect decision.
We visited a few serene temples, explored a smaller geisha district, enjoyed some amazing mochi, and ended the tour in a stunning zen garden. Yuta was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely kind and funny. He made sure to answer every question and ensured everyone felt comfortable on the e-bikes throughout the journey.
10/10 experience—I cannot recommend this tour enough!

Fantastic: Both interesting and fun - Very highly recommended!
One of the best activities I took. Yuta, our guide, gave a super interesting survey of Kyoto and Japan culture. A bit of history, tradition and religion. All explained in a super interesting and engaging way, in the most beautiful scenery.
The selection of sites we visited was also very smart. Besides the golden temple, which is a "must" but crowded, we spent time at more quite areas, midsize neighborhood temples and biking through beautiful "normal" Kyoto neighborhoods.
My son, in his 20s also enjoyed it very much. Bicycles were easy to handle and in very good condition.

Authentic experience - It was an amazing experience in a very authentic neighborhood off the tourist trail. Our guide had great historical information that I would not have learned anywhere else. Riding on Japan Streets was different than anything I had ever done before. Our guide helped to reassure me, and I never felt in danger at all. Great day!
