Do this tour! - Eiji was an amazing tour guide! He got me set up on my bike quickly and we were off! I was able to see the city from a totally different perspective from the bike and we went to bigger spots (e.g., the park near the Imperial Palace) and then through streets and spots for locals I'd never have found myself. Eiji took pics the whole time so I had a great record of the experience, too. What a fantastic way to see Kyoto!

Great afternoon bike tour with Eiji - We were very happy to get Eiji as our tour guide. He found some great spots for us and we had a cozy time.
We had nice conversations and Eiji is very easy to communicate with.
We would definitely recommend Eiji as an amazing Kyoto bike tour guide.

Highly recommended - We had yesterday a cycling tour with Eiji.
He is a thoughtful, nice guide .
We cycled 2 and a half hours, it was pretty cold , but the tour was excellent.
We cycled as a family and everyone was perfectly satisfied.
Thanks to Eiji

Fantastic bike tour - Eiji was a fantastic tour guide. We were able to cover a lot of territory biking instead of walking, allowing us to see a lot in just 3 hrs. Eiji tailored the tour to our family based upon what we had already seen and even took us to a shop to buy matcha cups as it was our last day in Kyoto and we specifically wanted a matcha cup as a souvenir. The best part of the tour was talking to Eiji and hearing his perspective on the history of Japan and Japanese culture as well as seeing picturesque neighborhoods that we would have otherwise missed.

Beautiful Kyoto experience - This was one of our best experiences in Japan! Eiji was a fantastic guide who took us on a beautiful ride through Kyoto with stops and opportunities to immerse ourselves in nature, culture and traditions along the way. We really felt a connection with the city, more than just sightseeing. We highly recommend Eiji and this tour!

Best of Kyoto - We spent the most amazing day in Kyoto with Ray and Kyoto Bike Tours. We were able to see the highlights of Kyoto while also experiencing all the side streets, gardens and river parks. Ray was kind, helpful, knowledgable and fun! I really think that this is the only way to truly experience Kyoto! Do yourself a favor and book your trip with Kyoto Bike Tours now!

Perfect Morning on Wheels with Eiji - We met Eiji-san at the Imperial Palace to start our bike trip. He was polite and he planned our itinerary very well. Because of a unannounced closure of the palace, Eiji was able to plan another route to take us to see the beautiful red leafs. He is very kind to give us space when biking to enjoy the scenery and experience by ourselves and he is also there to explain everything about the sites and customs of Kyoto culture. We had a very enjoyable time with Eiji.

Amazing tour - This tour covers so much ground and takes you to an abundance of sights. The tour guide is such a lovely guy and loves sharing stories and hearing about yours. He also takes so many photos for free. Top quality bike tour.
