Hidden Kyoto E-Bike Journey: Uncover Secret Gems

This was a terrific tour, no ifs ands or buts. We loved it, Sean was clear, concise, kind, funny. We learned a lot.

Yuta was a fantastic guide! We got to see beautiful sites off the beaten path. We enjoyed hearing the history and significance of each stop. Would definitely recommend for a trip to Kyoto!

We had a tremendous time cycling the back streets and alleys of Northern Kyoto. Our guide Yuta managed to locate a variety of tranquil spaces away from the crowds - we even had a whole Zen temple to ourselves. Highly recommended

I highly recommend this tour. Our guide Sean took us to less crowded areas of the city. He is very knowledgeable about the area and it felt like I was seeing a different part of the city than I’ve seen on social media. Sean spent time with everybody in the group and asked us what we preferred to see and do and planned accordingly. If you’re only doing one activity in the city this tour should be top of your list.

Exceptional, highly informed and helpful Henry was exceptional in his storytelling of Kyoto’s history, customs and people. Happy to answer any questions and amusing in his stories, he helped us understand why we were there and how Japan works. Thanks Henry.

We had a marvelous time, Sean was fantastic, helpful, clear, kind, terrific. We loved our time with him and everything he showed us.

Overall the e bike tour was a fine experience. My critique would be that our tour guide really spent, in my opinion, an excessive amount of time relaying details of Japanese history and story telling that frankly are not aligned with what a tour or this short duration requires. For new visitors to such a beautiful city, he ought to work on being much, much more concise. We spent more time required to sit on a bench/standing around listening to him speak then walking around and exploring the beautiful sites.

My husband and I are 60 and we had a great time, the biking was very doable with the e-bikes and even though there were some fairly steep descents it was not too bad, our guide was dynamic and knowledgeable, took us thru beautiful paths and gems in Kyoto. We ate sweets and drank tea at a place that was 1025 years old along 28 generations! We also visited shrines and temples that were much more secluded and rode safely thru beautiful little streets. We were lucky to see a Maiko (Geisha apprentice) along the way. We would definitely recommend it!

We had an amazing time touring Kyoto on e-bikes! Yuta was an incredibly knowledgeable guide who consistently provided us with fascinating information on the history of Kyoto, Shinto, and Buddhism as we visited the many shrines and temples within the city. Yuta also gave us the perfect restaurant recommendations in the area, so we were all able to enjoy the best bowls of udon we had in the city. This was the highlight of our trip to Kyoto and I can’t recommend it enough! Thank you, Yuta!

Great start to our time in Kyoto. The tour takes you to lesser known temples and shrines, giving you the opportunity to experience these locations without crazy crowds. Yuta was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and its history. He also has great restaurant recommendations!
