Perfect for starting the discovery of Kyoto - An atypical walk through the streets of Kyoto. You take lanes along the river to discover beautiful temples. The explanations are clear and our guides always pleasant and smiling. Lunch was divine, hidden in a green setting.

Wonderful bike tour of Kyoto with Duncan! - Duncan led our family of 6 teens and adults on a beautiful and informative bike tour of Kyoto temples, river, aqueduct and more. He gave great detail on our questions and added so much historical and cultural information to the stops along the way. So glad we had Duncan as our bike tour guide of Kyoto! Highly recommend!

Wll balanced 1 day Tokyo experience - Thanks to kind and patient guides we enjoyed a well balanced tour experience. Example Skytree visit and building análisis was awesome whilst contrasting with traditional Sensu Ji temple and mid city gardens . It has a nice chance to experience a lot in short time. Ask for Hiro he is a blast.

Great tour of Kyoto with teenagers - Our family had an amazing cycling tour with Tobu today in Kyoto. It was very hot to cycle around Kyoto today, over 30 degrees..Tobu made sure for plenty of stops and offered water and cooling spray. She was very informative about the history and shrines that we visited. With teenagers they enjoyed the scenic cycle of the backstreets and Gion district. We enjoyed a delicious noodle lunch and cycle home along the Kamo river. Overall would highly recommended this cycle tour with Tobu. Our family had a great time!!

Excellent biking adventure in Kyoto - I had an excellent experience with Duncan. I was lucky that I was the only person booked that day with him so we had a lot of time to discuss personal interests. He was thoughtful, informative and an all-around-great guide. I highly recommend him. It was an a first-rate experience.

Lovely Way to Spend A Half Day in Kyoto! - Thoroughly enjoyed Hikari's tour today. It was super interesting and fun. Even though I had actually been to one of the sites, Hikari made it worth going back because with her I understood what I was seeing! A great way to spend half a day in Kyoto.
