Beautiful tour to Kyoto's countryside. This was my second time in Kyoto and I had already seen most of the touristy stuff during my first visit so it was quite refreshing and amazing to see the countryside and cool new temples. Henry was amazing as a guide and shared tons of cool info about Kyoto and answered lots of our questions and also took care of everyone's needs with water, finding toilets etc. The bikes provided were also amazing and I had lot of fun cycling as well. The path you take during cycling is easy and comfy and super fun. I didn't consider myself good at cycling and actually never drove one in like 6years but even then I was able to get the hang of it quickly mainly due to how comfortable and easy it was (it has electric assist for climbs and stuff). Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kyoto

Guide was great. Funny and smart . Perfect English and jsianese . Very knowledgeable. Trip wasn’t all about the bamboo. Great bike ride and beautiful shrines temples and neighborhoods.

This bike tour is a Kyoto must-do ! Michael is a terrific guide and storyteller, and gets every message across along with awesome life stories ! Thanks again to Michael and to all the team for a wonderful morning, getting up early was so worth it !!!

Henry was brilliant. Very knowledgeable and caring. We certainly went to hidden gems and avoided the crowds. Our first time on e-bikes and no problems. Well done to the company and especially Henry and the lovely people we met on the tour.

Absolutely superb. Sean was very good: knowledgeable, happy to chat whenever we asked questions about anything, took us to spots that were all differently interesting, and the streets in between each spot were interesting travelling in themselves, and he told us his bamboo joke as if it was the first time he told it! E-bikes made it so easy to do the trip which did have a few hills. Sean has obviously done a thorough job researching the route. He is a pro. Thank you.

This was a fabulous afternoon spent touring the area and visiting the bamboo grove. Our tour guide Henry was brilliant and shared fascinating insights into life in Japan and history of Kyoto. He was very knowledgable about Buddhism and Shinto religions and the tour included some of the less busy shrines and temples. It was a real highlight of our trip so far!

Henry was great. We arrived late and had already had a really busy day. Plus it was 38 C out and hot! Henry adapted to our needs and we were able to have a great experience.

We took our 13yo son who absolutely loved it. The scenery was beautiful, Michael our guide was very interesting, knowledgeable and gave great background on each of the places visited. We highly recommend this, it was the highlight of our day in Kyoto!

Absolutely fantastic tour. Was one of the highlights of our 15 days in Japan. Henry was an awesome guide, very knowledgeable, great sense of humour and great attention to detail. It Waa fabulous to ride the back streets of Kyoto and visit important Shrines and the bamboo forest. Highly recommended.

This was a 13 mile ride to several temple sites and the bamboo forest. The electric bikes were super helpful. Henry had a great grasp on Japanese history and really helped us navigate the roads on our bikes. I love taking bike tours in different cities and this was one of the top.

This was my most memorable experience in Kyoto. Extremely knowledgeable tour guide. Got to see parts of Kyoto I would not have had the opportunity to see without a car. If you like to bike I highly recommend.

Henry was a knowledgeable and fun guide. We learned a lot and enjoyed the scenery on our bikes. The tour is comprehensive and just the right amount of stops. We felt safe on the roads and it was wonderful to see neighborhoods.

Really great tour! Bikes were easy to use and comfortable Henry the guide was great and very knowledgeable and I enjoyed visiting the less known shrines Would absolutely recommend!

Absolutely amazing tour with Henry, who explained a lot about Japanese culture, history, present, food and conventions. Some people who came along were a bit slow so we even got to extend the trip. The temples we visited were fascinating and I wouldn't have gone there otherwise. The equipment was amazing, too! If you go to Kyoto, and you're comfy on a bike, you HAVE to make this tour!

This was our favourite activity in Japan. We were a group of seven so we had a private tour with Henry. The e-bikes were great and 25km wasn’t strenuous at all. Henry has been living in Kyoto for many years and so was very well informed and happy to share his views, experiences and history of Japan. The tour was fun, informative and interesting, It lasted for 4 1/2 hours and we felt we got to see the real Japan outside of the touristy spots of Kyoto. We stopped near the end for a welcome ice cream. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone wanting to get under the skin of this fascinating country.
