I personally love cycling, so this is a great way to see the towns I visit. This trip is a 7h long trip (we left 09:45 ans came back 16:30), were you cycle approximately 18 miles in total. It includes alot of stops at different shrines and memorabilia. It also includes lunch and water. I loved this trip, we were a good group who got along well. Our guide was very responsible and guided us well how to cycle in the narrow and crowded streets, as well along the water banks. I like the fact he wasn’t brought up here, rather moved here from the States 25 years ago, so it felt he showed us what he personally liked about Kyoto, as well as showing the holy places, the geiko/maiko places and took us to a fun assembly line restaurant that we enjoyed very much! If you feel for culture, history and the need to move your body at the same time - this is the trip for you ❤️

This was a great way to circumnavigate Kyoto. Juan was an excellent guide presenting his city with great enthusiasm and a lot of knowledge. He was extremely safety conscious and very aware of other road/pavement users. We had a good lunch and bikes were good quality.

Fun and informational experience! Mostly quiet streets so felt safe. Learned a lot and experienced Kyoto in an interesting way. Also saw all the big sites, so I could figure out which to see again on the rest of my trip!

Great way to explore the highlights of Kyoto and get a feel for what life looks like outside the city centre. We enoyed the wonderful stories of our guide Quin who combines indepth knowledge of the Japanese history and culture with a warm and hospitable personality.

We had a great day with Juan. He is a very knowledgeable guide that can tell you all there is to know about Kyoto and then some more. The cycling route is beautiful, not hard, very smartly through all back roads in small neighborhoods, we always felt very comfortable and safe. We highly recommend this tour.
