Biking tour in Nara and Kyoto walking tour - As a large family group of 15 with 7 kids under 8yrs old we struggled to find your companies that would cater to our needs. From the very first email while in NZ to the end of our tour with Remi everything was well planned out and awesome!!
We did 2 tours on different days
We did the biking deer tour with a visit to the knife shop! Wow amazing! One of our highlights from the trip
Kyoto walking tour. Although the rain was there all day, we still got to see soo much and Remi adapted the day on the go so that the kids were happy and we didn’t get to wet, he even chucked in a saki testing visit after the famous temple!
We are not the easiest of groups to navigate with all of our kids but Remi was an amazing tour guide, knew so much and was so easy to hang with for the day. And the pre organising of the trips couldn’t be faulted
Don’t even bother looking elsewhere cause these guys were great!!!

Many surprises in a modern city - I thoroughly enjoyed this bike tour and highly recommend it. I pleasantly surprised by the knife manufacturing shop, the museum, the old shop/town office, and the noodles (well, that wasn't a surprise, just very delicious).
