Great experience!
Such a fun day! A great way to see the city. Our guide Yuko was so knowledgeable and so nice we had an absolute blast with her!
A really nice way to see Kyoto
My family and I spend a wonderful day with Juko driving around i the historical part of Kyoto. Since we are from Denmark and are used to bike a lot, we had plenty of time at very site, and we even had time to some little extra. Juko is a great guide :)
Great tour and Akira was a great guide!
Akira was a fantastic guide - so friendly and knowledgeable. We had the best morning exploring Kyoto by bike topped off with a tasty lunch!
Such a fun time!
This experience was great! Akira was awesome and showed us some great sites and biking through the city was so much fun. Highly recommend if you want a fun outdoors day
Excellent cycling tour
Yuka was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, tailored the tour to suit me as it was a solo trip and her English is excellent.
