Getting to know Kyoto by bike - This was such a nice way to get the lay of the land in Kyoto. Our guide, Bohan, did a great job of selecting some key sites and providing us with interesting insights about each site. It was the perfect blend of structured and laid back.

Memorable. - Amazing. Pohan knows his local history and managed travel logistics expertly. His bikes were new, well maintained, and perfectly suited for the day. For us the sport cycling through Kyoto was as good as the history tour. Our family had a wonderful day!

Great tour, lots of sights, wonderful guide - Great way to see the main sights of Kyoto, the bikes helped avoid the busy roads around the temples and shrines. My guide Pohan knew a lot about each sight and we went at a comfortable pace. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to see a lot of Kyoto in a short space of time.

Best way to cross off a large number of spots on your trip list - The bike ride was a very fun and efficient way to see multiple sites in Kyoto. We had no issue with the accommodations and our tour guide was great at handling the clerical part of the trip as well as provide history and knowledge of the sites we visited. The last stop was the bamboo forest and due to this, we beat the morning crowd and it was quite an enjoyable ending location.
