Highly recommend doing this bike tour! We had very limited time during our stay in Kyoto and this tour was just perfect for us. We were able to cover so much. The bonus was being able to ride through the neighborhoods. We were blessed with beautiful weather! Our guide was very informative and helpful at making us comfortable with learning to ride a bike again. We hope to do this again if we ever make it back to Kyoto.
Excellent bike tour with an amazing tour guide that was very considerate, detailed and fun to spend time with! Thank you!
Highly recommend Memory Kyoto E-Bike Tour around Kyoto! What a refreshing way to cover major ground with shrines, temples and gardens oh my! Pohan was fabulous. He is patient, kind, knowledgeable, and vigilant to safety of his tour participants. 5/5 stars, would do it again!

We loved our bike tour with Lorenzo! We not only saw some of the top sites, but we also got historical and cultural context for each. We loved cycling through the quiet neighborhoods and seeing more of Kyoto than we would have otherwise.

Bike tour was fantastic, very informative and saw parts of Kyoto we wouldn’t have seen. Electric bike was user friendly and accommodated to any fitness level on a bike. Lorenzo our guide was excellent and his knowledge and English were great.

The tour was just perfect. Perfect amount of sight seeing, perfect amount of walking and crowd negotiation, perfectly timed lunch break and perfect amount of bike riding. Our guide was informative, transparent and his English was excellent. He provided alternative suggestions given the weather (HOT) on the day altered slightly his OG plans. The bikes were well maintained and modern. If it’s hot, remember the sunscreen, extra water and a sweat towel!
