We always prefer to "scope-out" a new destination before focusing on key attractions. We very much enjoyed the "Kyoto World Heritage" bicycle tour with Keiko (our well informed and patient tour guide). It was an 8.5+ hour bike tour of the Western side of Kyoto. While the various temples, shrines and gardens were amazing, what we especially enjoyed was the... More

Saw this on the http://www.kctp.net/en/ website and was immediately interested. Told my two kids that they had a week to learn how to ride the bike (before our trip) so that we can see and experience a different side oj Japan. Our Guide was Ms. Hiroko, she spoke good english, explained all the safety signals that supposed to follow and... More

My husband and I booked this tour in hopes to see a lot in the only full day we had in Kyoto. We were right on target with that idea. Our guide Yoko was wonderful. She spoke English, and was very knowledgable about everywhere that we biked. She was also patient with all the pictures we wanted to take, and... More

We had a fantastic guide named Julie leading us around Kyoto. First we met at the meeting point, we arrived half an hour early, but to our surprise Julie was already setup and came out and greeted us and started the tour earlier, and we finished the tour later than described in website. So we felt like we got more... More

Having now travelled quite extensively with my kids, cycling is one of our favourite ways to see things. We loved our day-long tour with Julie and KCTP. We did this tour on the first day we were in Kyoto, and spent a lot of time on the East side of the river (Higashiyama), then passed back through the imperial palace... More

I did the half day Back Street tour with Keiko. She was very welcoming, spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable. I had lots of questions and she was able to answer them all. We were very lucky and saw a maiko (apprentice geisha) coming out of the beauty salon in the back streets of Gion. The tour is an... More

We booked a guided "Back Street Tour" for the afternoon. We met our tour guide Keiko, did the paperwork and was off. She was very attentive to make sure that the pace was OK for the three of us and proceeded to take us around town. We had invited a Japanese friend to join us, and she said that she... More

My husband and I had a great time on the half day back street tour with Nok as our guide. The tour was an easy ride, a good mix of information and time to enjoy the beautiful sights. Luckily we were the old people on the tour, so Nok was our personal tour guide. She was a delightful guide, great... More
