Fantastic experience! Highly recommend!

Published on Dec, 2024

We had a fantastic afternoon on our tour! Ray was an amazing guide and we enjoyed seeing the bamboo forest, monkey park, and many other sights. Highly recommend this tour and going through Kyoto on a bike tour was a great choice!

Amazing afternoon, beautiful sites and incredible tour guide

Published on Dec, 2024

We had an amazing afternoon out and the best guide ever with Yuki. He took us to the best places and his general knowledge and knowledge of history was nothing short of incredible. Great personality and great tour guide - thank you Yuki. Excellent quality bikes and helmets.

Well worth your time and highlight of the trip

Published on Dec, 2024

Went as a family of 3 and it was a standout of our time in Japan. Yuki was a warm and informative guide was kind and generous with my 8 year old daughters many questions. The bike tour takes you to places you wouldn’t normally see along with the main sites you’d expect. Thoroughly recommended.

Amazing experience!

Having Ray show us around Arashiyama was the highlight of our trip. He was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour as it is a fun way to see some amazing sights and learn a lot about the culture.

Afternoon Bike Tour Arashiyama Bamboo Forest & Monkey Forest

Published on Nov, 2024

The bike tour was one of the highlights of our Kyoto trip. I highly recommend the Kyoto Bike Tour, especially with our guide, Peter. We took the 4-hour afternoon bike tour, which was a fantastic way to visit the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and Monkey Park. Without the bike tour, it would have taken much longer to reach both destinations, leaving us with less time to explore other parts of Kyoto. Plus, it's not just quicker—Peter provides fascinating insights into Japanese history, making it an educational experience as well.
