Absolutely excellent tour and guide. We arrived in Kyoto and had booked this tour on the first day and we are so glad we did. Yuta (our guide) was excellent and the tour takes in some of the main sights of the city. The e-bikes were great, easy to operate and allowed some freedom to go to areas we wouldn’t have found. Also it’s a small group so a very personal tour and we learnt so much about Shintoism, Buddhism, Japanese history and Kyoto people. We even enjoyed a moment of meditation before sharing some tea together.

Great e-bike tour lead by our wonderful guide Yota who guided our group of 7 perfectly through some hidden parts of Kyoto. Yota provided an entertaining and knowledgeable background to Kyoto (compared to Osaka), and the human side of people, background to Geishas, the Buddhist temples compared to the Shinto shrines, zen temple with background to meditation followed by a tea ceremony. Thanks to Yota!!

Incredible experience! We did know secret places from Kyoto. The bike trip is very nice, not tired at all and all the sanitariums were amazing. Very complete experience with drinks and local food! It was extraordinary. Highly recommended :)

This tour was one of the highlights of our trip! Yuta was a great guide. He shared so much insider information and was certain that everyone in the group was taken care of. The e-bikes are such a great way to see off the beaten path places that we would otherwise not have seen.
-Thank You Yuta!!

Great adventure with no crowds. The distances are too long to cover on foot, so biking was a perfect and fun way to see more. Big thanks to our guide Michael, who had interesting stories and shared his energy. He enjoyed this tour, and so did we, that's very important when the guide loves their tour. E-Bikes were very nice and we were provided ponchos because it was raining during the first half of the tour.

Sean was an outstanding guide and every stop was educational and fascinating- riding an e-bike through the neighborhoods of Kyoto was a blast and something we would not have seen on our own.

This tour was amazing and I would recommend this to anyone visiting kyoto.
Our guide, Matthew is super
knowledgeable, engaging and made sure everyone had a good time. It was raining half the time but they provided ponchos. I was initially hesitant because of the rain but it turned out not to be an issue at all. Matthew went over all the safety tips thoroughly and was giving us clear directions during the ride to make sure we are safe. His story telling skill is top notch. The way he provided information at each stop was super fun and interesting. In addition to providing the history, he also threw in current information and stories that made it very relatable to the current times. Also, he was super attentive to our group and anticipated questions even before they were asked. Amazing!

We had the best time on the tour due to our amazing tour guide, Michael! He was kind, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable. We learned so much and were able to ask Michael any questions we had. He really knows his stuff and kept everyone engaged. He also brought us to a bonus spot that was so beautiful! He even gave us some restaurant recommendations after the tour. Thank you for an incredible and memorable day!
