I can’t believe I was able to see the best of Kyoto for one day in my first ever long cycling ride!???? For the first time in life, I was able to go cycling for about 70 kms.. and in Japan’s cultural center Kyoto! •Our First stop @Arashiyama Bamboo Forest •The Thousand Torii Gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine •The Kiyomizudera Temple •The Gion district •The Golden Pavilion *Plus the beautiful Autumn landscapes of the Kyoto’s country side, the rice fields, the vegetable gardens, the river banks, the mountains, the narrow streets of Kyoto, the small altars in almost every street of Kyoto, the Imperial Palace, the train tracks, the Maiko’s/Geishas walking in the streets and everything in between!!?? Wow!!! It was totally an awesome experience! We were able to go around the entire City in a day which is a bit impossible if you’re doing it on a bus/walking tour. It was incredible! It’s a tour like no other! One of the most amazing and unforgettable experiences in my stay here in Japan.???

Had a great time on the tour despite the weather challenges. The weather forecast said no rain initially when we started out but it ended up raining for over 60% of our tour including multiple hail storms! Peter did his best to get us through it and we all survived and got some great pictures and an experience that we will never forget. He took many pictures for us and sent them all to us afterwards. It was a very unique way to see the local areas and back streets of Kyoto along with 5 major tourist attractions. He was very knowledgeable about the history and was a great guide. As for the bike riding, the bikes were high quality and easy to ride. The majority of the ride was on easy flat terrain however there are a few inclines here and there. I would recommend to dress warmly if the weather is chilly and be somewhat physically fit due to the amount of riding involved. Overall I thought it was a well planned tour and a great way to see Kyoto!

An Amazing bike ride throughout Kyoto that allows you to gain a unique feel for the city while seeing the top sites all in one day. Guide was amazing as he offered interesting insights for all the stops, was incredibly friendly and engaging throughout the tour, and also made sure to take pictures of all of us at each stop and during the course of the bike ride! If you are going to be in Kyoto definitely do this tour!

Let me start off by saying, I never write positive reviews, but I had such an amazing experience I wanted to share. I was lucky enough to have 1 1:1 tour with Ray. This says a lot, as Ray could have easily cancelled but he is so passionate about Kyoto and all it has to offer. Ray has that type of personality that reminds you of a old school friend. He explains the history in such a simple way it is easy to retain and his biking skills as we navigated the city were superb. We biked a total of 25 miles and walked about 10, so my only recommendation would be to make sure you know how to bike and are in decent physical shape. Thank you Ray for the memories and amazing pictures!!!

This was an awesome experience. I got an email confirming everything in advance and giving detailed directions about how to arrive, which was great since I don't know Japanese. Peter is a very knowledgeable tour guide and a very interesting person, and he was able to keep me engaged for an 8-hour tour between the wealth of knowledge he has as well as his personal life stories. He even surprised me with a short detour to the original Nintendo headquarters when I told him I was a Nintendo fan. He also made sure that we were able to eat lunch at a restaurant with options besides sushi and fish at my request. I also got photos sent to me through Dropbox at the conclusion of the tour. Thanks for a great tour and if I'm back in Kyoto I will do another one!
