Best tour in Kyoto!! - This was the best tour that I have ever taken. It was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad that I did it. Maki was an incredible tour guide. She was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. She even remembered everyone's names in the tour. This was a great way to explore many parts of Kyoto, including very famous and popular locations along with some hidden gems that only the locals would know. Thank you Maki! Goyen!

Fantastic e-bike tour - I only had a short time to see Kyoto and managed to get an early morning train from Tokyo and get onto this tour by 9am.
Fantastic day out getting to see the best bits of Kyoto, on an e bike and with Mika who is a great tour guide and host.
We managed to see a lot on the tour and get a sense of the history of Kyoto and Japan.
I wish I had more time to explore… but that’s for another visit

Phenomenal Guide - Phenomenal trip. Best thing we did in all of Japan. Maki is simply the best and tour is such a great value. The e-bikes are a great, fun way to see the city and Maki takes you through the best streets stopping to provide knowledge on the history and culture. Not only do you see the main shrine but she takes you to other unique temples, views, and a local coffee shop off the beaten path and not packed with tourists. 10/10. Will want to book another one of her tours

We'll be back - This tour was the highlight of our trip to Kyoto. Maki made it so enjoyable with her warm, friendly nature and she provided so much interesting info about Kyoto and Japanese culture.
She took us to some really cool lesser known places we would have never seen otherwise. And riding e-bikes was such a fun and beautiful way to see Kyoto. Maki took great pics of us along the way and made the whole tour feel so special. We will definitley be back for another tour with her next time we visit!

Amazing tour to experience Kyoto's unique atmosphere - This tour was amazing! Maki is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. She made me feel at ease and offered a nice balance of interesting facts and anecdotes about the culture of Japan and specifically Kyoto. She had an answer to all of my many questions and had chosen a route that explored some of the most important tourist sites, but also some quiet backstreets that give you a proper feeling of life here in Kyoto. If you're not sure which tour to choose or even if you only have one day here, this is definitely the tour to choose!
