Fantastic day of cycling around Kyoto

Published on Apr, 2025

I had a great time with Cycle Kyoto. I signed up for the north group tour, but everyone else in the group cancelled last minute so I got a private tour with Shaune. He was an awesome guide, super knowledgeable and took great pictures. Because it was just the two of us, we got to go see a few places that were off the beaten path. I had a really great time, and highly recommend booking a tour.

Unforgettable Bike Tour through Kyoto with Jamie!

Published on Apr, 2025

We had a fantastic bike tour through Kyoto with our guide Jamie! Choosing to do the tour with him was the best decision. Jamie was incredibly funny, friendly, and shared his enthusiasm by showing us many exciting places and stories about Kyoto. Thanks to the bike tour, we were able to see and experience so much in a short time – things we probably would have missed otherwise. The lunch was also a real highlight – super delicious and perfectly organized. A big thank you to Jamie for this unforgettable experience – we would book a tour with him again anytime!

Cycle Day in Kyoto

Published on Apr, 2025

This was one of the best bike tours of a major city I have done in a while. Our guide Karl was fantastic: personable, witty and most importantly very knowledgable about the sites we visited. One of our best days in Kyoto!

Amazing tour!

Published on Apr, 2025

We had a fantastic experience with our guide Julian who gave us a lot of Information about Kyōto and the Japanese culture. We really enjoyed seeing streets and places of kyoto which are not that touristy. All in all we would highly recommend the tour!

Thank you Jay for the great day

Published on Apr, 2025

We spent a wonderful day cycling through Kyoto with our tour guide Jay. We booked a private family tour and there were 6 of us ages 9-68. We had been in Kyoto for a few days, and I was a little nervous about traveling though this large, busy city with 2 grandkids. I had nothing to be concerned about as Jay knew the quiet roads to get us where we were going. I never once felt at risk. The biking was pleasant (small ups and down, no hard hills) and it was a fantastic way to see the city and learn about the culture, history, and religion of Kyoto. Jay know his stuff, and it was fun having him as part of our family for a day. (he fit right in) He also stopped at a couple of his favorite places. We have done a couple of bike tours when we travel, but this one was very special. It was just as advertised (including lunch) and more.
