Excellent. Henry was a really good guide. Took us on a very interesting tour and gave us much appreciated history. He understand the Japanese culture well and can explain it as a westerner. 5 stars!

The tour took us to many interesting “hidden gems”. Our guide, Yuta was amazing. He not only spoke English very well, he gave us lots of interesting stories about everywhere we went and we learned a lot. One of the best bike tours we have ever done and we’ve done about 20! Highly recommend!

Thank you so much Yuta, for the e-bike tour. My girlfriend and I were completely impressed. You were far more than a guide, your knowledge of Japanese culture ran deep, and you took us through quieter, non touristy neighborhoods, temples, and some genuinely beautiful scenery. It was the highlight of our time in Kyoto and that’s all down to you. If you enjoy nature, culture, and finding hidden gems, I can’t recommend this tour enough.

This was our first experience using e-bikes, and I have to say that we are converts! Navigating Kyoto's hills can be very challenging, but the e-bikes enabled us to move along at a good pace without having to overly exert ourselves. The tour was wonderful, and our guide, Henry, was very knowledgeable and informative, spicing up his narratives with his wry British humor. As promised, once we had seen Kinkaku-ji, the tour took us off the beaten path to visit lesser-known temples and shrines, plus a wonderful ride through Kyoto's northwestern hills. Genko-an Temple was the most interesting, with its “bloody ceilings”, made from the floorboards at the site of a mass samurai ritual suicide, and the “Window of Confusion” and “Window of Enlightenment”. The pace of the tour was good -- not too tiring, not too slow -- and varied enough to keep it interesting throughout the half-day. Very glad we took this tour, and NORU KYOTO BIKE TOURS did a great job! I highly recommend this tour!

It's a lovely tour, easy pace. Sean our guide was very good at setting the pace and directing us on the roads. Sean was extremely knowledgeable and kept my kids engaged the whole time. Everyone in the family loved it.

My partner and I book this bike tour as I wanted to see more in the day than what walking could offer. Riding through the hidden back streets gave us a completely different side of Kyoto. It was our first time riding e-bikes & we both hadn’t been on a bike since we were kids but it was so easy and our guide Yuta made the experience so memorable. He was very patient, even waiting and calling people who were late to allow time to join, he was very knowledgeable and a great speaker keeping everything interesting. He even suggested food & shops to visit in the area after the tour. Thank you Yuta, we enjoyed the sushi spot you mentioned. The hidden spots on the tour weren't crowded at all, it was nice actually having space to look around, take pictures, and learn a bit of history without bumping into tourists at every turn. Definitely recommend taking this tour.

The Noru bike tour was a highlight of our visit to Kyoto. Henry, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, tailored the tour to the group and was friendly and ensured everyone was comfortable throughout. We visited smaller shrines and temples in the north west of Kyoto, rural areas plus the Golden Palace which none of the group had visited at that point. Henry ensured our visits were maximised with his inside knowledge and booking ahead of our arrival. The tour was varied, inclusive and fun. Would highly recommend!

Overall was a great time biking through the backstreets of Kyoto and visiting shrines. Yuta was very informative and a great tour guide. Highly recommend

We had a fantastic time! Our guide, Sean (Shaun? Shawn?), was so kind and gave us the perfect amount of information for every stop we made. He also has good connections and reservations made in advance for the places we visited, so being able to participate in things without waiting in long lines was a big perk. My favorite part of the tour was riding through the quiet forest. Having e-bikes made steep hills easy and the quality of the bikes were amazingly smooth. After the tour Sean gave us the best recommendation for lunch since we were looking for gyoza!
