Our family had an amazing cycling tour with Tobu today in Kyoto.
It was very hot to cycle around Kyoto today, over 30 degrees..Tobu made sure for plenty of stops and offered water and cooling spray. She was very informative about the history and shrines that we visited.
With teenagers they enjoyed the scenic cycle of the backstreets and Gion district.
We enjoyed a delicious noodle lunch and cycle home along the Kamo river.
Overall would highly recommended this cycle tour with Tobu. Our family had a great time!!

I had an excellent experience with Duncan. I was lucky that I was the only person booked that day with him so we had a lot of time to discuss personal interests. He was thoughtful, informative and an all-around-great guide. I highly recommend him. It was an a first-rate experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed Hikari's tour today. It was super interesting and fun. Even though I had actually been to one of the sites, Hikari made it worth going back because with her I understood what I was seeing! A great way to spend half a day in Kyoto.

It was a fun & informative Tour. As we have been the only participants we had the chance to ask so many questions. Yukari was a great guide teaching us about Culture, Tradition and modern Japan. Food was excellent.

Great bike ride tour. My tour was with Duncan and he was lovely and had local knowledge of the area and helped translate in the temples. Would recommend this tour

Hiroko was an absolutely lovely guide with great knowledge. Riding around Kyoto on bikes was super good, fun and lunch was in the most beautiful location. Would not hesitate to recommend. Hiroko was also a very kind and lovely lady!

This was a great and worthwhile tour. The weather was great, the cherry blossoms were blooming, and the breeze was perfect for a bike ride. Tammy, the guide, was super awesome - she always made sure everyone was on track and safe throughout. Her explanations about the shrines and temples are easily digestible too. There were only 3 of us on the tour and although we ran past the time allocated, I never once felt rushed, which was great. I highly recommend this tour.
