      Great tour, wonderful places and a knowledgable guide
      Catriona_S, Apr 2024
      Wonderful sights to see here - not just the spectacular temples, monuments and gardens, but fascinating to explore the back streets of Kyoto, and along the Philosophers Path with cherry blossoms in full bloom! Thanks so much Shaune for your fascinating insights into the history, religion and culture that made this bike tour even more special!
      Disappointing experience
      FREDERIQUE_B, Apr 2024
      We were a greionof 5 - our family and another man from the US. When we arrived, 2 of the bikes were the size of a 8 years old, which was not compatible for my 1,76m and 1,80 teenagers (I had sent a photo previously so they could have checked the size). We had to insist to change them as it was a 6/7h ride! The leader Mayco was lovely however she wasn’t a guide. There was no story telling, no precise information on the monuments and therefore no bonding. It is a shame that a guide has to look for info on her phone. A folder with a map and info would have been ideal to understand each forthcoming stop and gain some in-depth info (she took it out once as we asked info on geikos ). The lunch on the busiest street in front of the silver pavilion was nothing special - we would have loved an off the beaten track experience. It was a sunny day and the cherry blossoms were il full bloom in the Philosopher’s path - we had to insist to stop for 15mn for photos. We had been looking for them in such condition for 8 days!! In the end, we stopped whenever we wanted and looked for info on our phones. The bike ride was great however we could have done it alone without spending 500 USD.. We felt disappointing

      Hi Frederique, Firstly, I'd like to thank you and your family for joining us on the East tour and for taking the time to write such a detailed review of your experience with us. Of course, we are extremely sorry to hear that the experience was not 100% up to what you had hoped for. We always aim to provide the highest level of service, education, fun and enjoyment to every group we serve. There are obvious challenges at peak season that we face in terms of finding suitable restaurants without massive lines, and the logistical difficulties of manoeuvering through crowded places while keeping to the agreed schedule of the day. We will strive to always do better. Thank you once again
      The perfect way to experience Kyoto

      We spent a bit over a week exploring Japan's major cities, experiencing so many cool things. Still, this tour was *easily* the highlight of our entire trip. Jay was absolutely wonderful; knowledgable, friendly, funny, and just overall a great guy to spend the day with. We visited some of the can't-miss sites, but also some lesser known spots almost completely empty of tourists. And riding around the smaller streets and alleys of Kyoto was just as fun. We really felt like we got the feel of the city, and we topped it off with a fantastic lunch at a spot we would have easily missed without Jay. Just be sure you feel perfectly comfortable on a bike as a few of the paths go through crowds, roads, and sometimes slightly uneven terrain. I'll definitely be recommending this tour to my friends and family when they visit Kyoto!
      E bike tour of Kyoto

      Biking with Juan through Kyoto was a major highlight of our trip. He is a wealth of knowledge in regards to history, culture, and foods. We loved all of our Kyoto sightseeing stops and would highly recommend!
      Like being taken around by an old friend ... a warm, friendly guide who wanted to to love his city
      BeeT, Nov 2023
      We spent the whole day biking around East Kyoto with Juan (who moved from San Diego to Kyoto 25+ years ago). Juan was an excellent tour guide in every aspect including safety and his knowledge of Kyoto historical sites and neighborhoods, and history. He also customized the tour to fit our needs as there was only 4 of us on the tour. He also took us to his favorite coffee shop (would not have found this by ourselves) and bustling ramen restaurant for lunch (which we would not have gotten seated so quickly if not for Juan's connections). Honestly it felt like we were being taken around by an old friend!
