What an amazing experience, was one of the highlights of our trip! Yuki is brilliant at tour guiding, who makes you feel comfortable straight away. We left the trip with so much information not only about the areas we were visiting but also japan itself. He gave us a lot of recommendations for the other areas of Japan we are going. Thank you so much for showing us Kyoto yuki :) what a great day we had!

I had an amazing time on the Kyoto bike tour. Ray was very organized and knowledgeable about the information he provided. He made sure our time was well spent. This tour will definitely be one of the highlights of my trip. I enjoyed this tour from start to finish. He took us to areas that I would have never visited had i not done this tour. I would definitely recommend this tour.

What a fantastic afternoon! We explored the beautiful neighborhoods of Arashiyama and saw many incredible highlights of the area. Our guide, Ray, shared wonderful insights into Japanese culture and traditions, making the tour both fun and informative. He ensured everyone stayed safe as we navigated through a few crowded streets, helped us collect some more stamps, and even treated us to a bonus stop at the Kimono Forest! This was definitely one of our favorite activities in Japan. Thank you, Ray, for such a wonderful experience! Kim and Jess

We booked this bike tour to experience Kyoto from a local’s perspective, and Yuki truly delivered. From the moment we met, he made us feel welcome and gave us a great overview of the area before guiding us effortlessly through each stop on the route. His deep knowledge of Japanese history, culture, and customs made every site come alive. Yuki also took the time to share the significance of each place and captured incredible photos we’ll cherish forever. It was an unforgettable way to see Kyoto!

Our guide Yuki was outstanding, he was very knowledgeable and made the whole tour interesting and more importantly fun. We got to see and learn so much about Kyoto, the Monkeys, the Bamboo forest and the Gardens are a must see.

What an amazing day! Ray was our guide for this tour in the outskirts of Kyoto, starting from Arashiyama Station and moving first to the bamboo forest, where he told us many anecdotes related to this place, and then to the Tenryū-ji gardens. The final stop was Iwatayama Monkey Park and finally Kimono Forest at the station. We had so much fun and when my wife and I said we were on our honeymoon we were pampered the whole way. A big greeting also to the couple from San Francisco who made the route with us, also two wonderful people. Absolutely over-recommended, we hope to be back one day! A big hug from Andrea and Michela from Rome! 🫰 What an incredible day!

What a fun experience. We loved biking through this amazing area and seeing the bamboo forests, shrines and Monkey park. Yuki was a terrific guide. He is so smart and knew the answers to all of our questions. It was a wonderful addition to our plans to see Kyoto.

We had a lovely bike ride with Yuki. The bicycle is the ideal means of transport to visit the bamboo forest, the monkeys, a beautiful suburb and temple. Yuki shares a lot of interesting things about Japan and Japanese, talks full-throated, which gives a very interesting insight into everyday life.

The only mistake we made with this tour was not doing it sooner!!! Yuki was our tour guide extraordinaire, leading 4 of us around the temples, bamboo forest and monkey park. It was super easy biking, with some energetic hiking up to the monkeys. Yuri took the time to really explain the nuances of the Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. His English was excellent and he took any and all questions as we pedaled around. And he finished up our tour with a stop for a scrumptious creme brûlée donut. We just wish we’d had his tour at the beginning of our Kyoto visit!
