Enjoy the journey. - It was such an amazing experience. There were 9 people total in our group. Our guide greeted us with ice cold water for our journey. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and caring making sure we were all together and good throughout our trip. We visited 3 different temples and finished it off with dinning in at a local Japanese diner. The experience overall was 10/10. Especially if you’re only visiting for a short amount of time, you see and learn a lot in a few hours giving you time to experience even more of Japan.

We highly recommend the Historical Kyoto Bike Tour! - We had a fabulous bike tour of historical Kyoto with Pohan as our guide. Pohan limits his tours to eight people, which is great. We could choose regular or e-bikes (the latter was 1000 yen extra). The bikes seemed new and were in great shape. We really enjoyed seeing Kyoto by bike and exploring different neighborhoods. We stopped at three gorgeous shrines and temples. All were spectacular but my favorite was Tenryu-ji Temple and the bamboo forest. Pohan was a knowledge, confident and organized guide, sharing history and guiding us through Shinto and Buddhist religious practices at each stop. He took us to a wonderful traditional Japanese restaurant for lunch (we each paid for own lunch). He took good care of all of us and is clearly a sweet and kind person. We highly recommend this tour!

Best way to see the sights! - We had the best day on this bike tour. Pohan was the best guide with an amazing amount of knowledge and a great sense of humour. We saw many top tourist attractions plus all the hidden gems in between. His local knowledge and friendly, gracious manner made it one of the most memorable experiences we had in Japan. Highly recommend.

Exploring Kyoto on bikes - Our tour guide was fantastic, he showed us the best spots to take photos of the sights. He also asked us to choose our own style of food for lunch and he took us to a delicious ramen restaurant. He had excellent knowledge on the sights. The bikes were comfortable, they also offered e-bikes. Our guide carried waterproof jackets with him, for us to use in the rain and gave us frozen waters to enjoy throughout the trip. Such a great way to discover and explore Kyoto!

The perfect start to a Kyoto visit - Lohan was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable. Our younger children (10 and 12) loved the day on the e-bikes and the route and stops were all beyond our expectations. If you’re in Kyoto, don’t miss this. It’s a great way to knock of a bunch of the key sights in a unique and enjoyable way.
