Sean was our guide today and he was fantastic with our family, which included two adults and two teens. He was patient with our mixed levels of comfort on bikes and adjusted on the spot when a path he wanted to take us on was closed. We learned a lot about Japanese way of life, the history of Kyoto, shrines and temple practices, and more. We got to visit some truly beautiful places and Sean provided just enough information to keep us engaged but not bored. I would highly recommend.
Group of 9, two combined families, ages 14 to 60. Everyone had an amazing time, highlight of our Kyoto trip! From the beginning, communication with company was smooth and helpful. Best part of the experience was meeting Yuta, our guide. Spoke great English, engaging, thoughtful and knew his stuff! Our group loved his stories of the different areas. Highly recommend.
Tour was fantastic! Sean was super nice, knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. Answered all our questions and gave great historical explanations at each stop. Tour also came with bottle of water and a tea drink in a temple.
Fantastic tour. Lots of nature and trees just a beautiful ride. And Shawn the guide was outstanding.
Thank you Philippa! We are really glad you had a great day with us.
Excellent bike tour I loved it so much with a great tour guide
Thank you Sylvain! Come again!
This is so unique from any tour I’ve ever done in a foreign country. Sean was an incredible tour guide. Every site was impressive and the historic candy store was lovely. By far my favorite of all the tours I’ve had in Japan.
Thank you so much for this! Favourite tour in Japan is high praise and Sean will be absolutely thrilled to read it. We're glad every stop landed so well and that the mochi shop made an impression too. Hope to see you back in Kyoto someday.
This is one of the best bike tours I’ve ever done. Yuta was an incredibly thoughtful and supportive guide. Not only did he safely get us through the streets of Kyoto safely and respectfully, he revealed places across the city that we would have never found on our own. Truly a unique experience. I can’t recommend this tour enough!
Thank you so much for this! Yuta puts a lot of thought and care into every tour and it's wonderful to hear that came through so strongly. He'll be really happy to read this. Hope to see you back in Kyoto someday.
Our family had a great time with Michael. He is engaging and clearly very knowledgeable after living in Kyoto for over 20 years. His past career as a teacher is obvious and perfect for this tour. He taught us so much about Kyoto: the history, the religions, the buildings and the people. Seeing some off the beaten path areas on e-bike was a great way to absorb the beauty of the city. The pedal-assist bikes were easy to use, and we felt safe navigating the streets under Michael's watchful eye. We appreciated the modifications on the route to suit our adventurous, active group. I highly recommend this tour!
Thank you so much for this! Twenty years in Kyoto and a background in teaching is a combination that really does make for something special, and it sounds like Michael brought every stop to life for the whole family. We're glad the route worked so well for your group too. He'll be really happy to read this. Hope to see you all back in Kyoto someday.
Shawn was amazing and the tour was excellent!!! Definitely recommend to everyone going to kyoto
Thanks! We are really happy to hear you had a great time!
Really fantastic! Henry was a phenomenal guide. We enjoyed it so much we returned the following day for the other tour!
Thank you so much for this! Coming back the very next day for the second tour says it all. Henry will be really happy to hear it. Hope to see you back in Kyoto someday.
