The small group was great, personalised by guide Hiro. Great to travel around Kyoto by bike and have everything explained in detail.

Wir haben diese Tour gebucht, weil sich Kyoto von der Grösse her sehr gut für eine Erkundung mit dem Fahrrad eignet und ein japanischer Freund uns geraten hatte, sich zur Eingewöhnung einen Führer zu buchen. Die hiess Ayumi, sprach sehr gut Englisch und kannte sich auch sonst ganz gut aus. Es gab eine vorgegebene Rundtour, von der wir aber nach Belieben abweichen durften, zumal wir die einzigen Teilnehmer waren.
Auf diese Weise bekamen wir in über drei Stunden eine Menge zu sehen und hatten Hilfe bei der Selbstverteidigung - Fahrradfahren ist scheinbar in Wirklichkeit ein Kampfsport ;-) Auf jeden Fall eine sehr empfehlenswerte Art der Stadterkundung und seinen Preis wert, besonders bei einer so netten Führung.
We booked this tour because the size of Kyoto is bicyle-friendly. A japanese friend advised us to book a guide however to get used to biking in Japan. Our guide Ayumi had great knowledge about English as well as of the city. She had a proposal for a tour, but as we were the only participants we were able to do changes at will. This way we saw in more than three hours a lot of interesting points and got help in self-defense – bicycle-riding seems to be a kind of martial art in Japan ;-) Anyway it was a very good experience of exploring the city, especially with such a friendly and nice support. Highly recommended.
The trip was brilliant. Hiro the guide was excellent and very informative. It was really good fun and an excellent way to see the city.

I ended up having a private tour which the guide was happy to tailor for me. It a great way to see many of the sights of Kyoto in a half day.

Bike tour was fun, path of philisophers was amazing. The tour guide was very helpful, explained lots of things about the temples and Buddhism. We are happy with the tour, but price is a bit too expensive
