Eiji was an amazing tour guide! He got me set up on my bike quickly and we were off! I was able to see the city from a totally different perspective from the bike and we went to bigger spots (e.g., the park near the Imperial Palace) and then through streets and spots for locals I'd never have found myself. Eiji took pics the whole time so I had a great record of the experience, too. What a fantastic way to see Kyoto!
Beautiful Kyoto experience

This was one of our best experiences in Japan! Eiji was a fantastic guide who took us on a beautiful ride through Kyoto with stops and opportunities to immerse ourselves in nature, culture and traditions along the way. We really felt a connection with the city, more than just sightseeing. We highly recommend Eiji and this tour!
Amazing tour

This tour covers so much ground and takes you to an abundance of sights. The tour guide is such a lovely guy and loves sharing stories and hearing about yours. He also takes so many photos for free. Top quality bike tour.
Must do!
