Pohan was such a delight and great host! The instructions on the ticket made finding the location easy, and the bikes were in great condition. Upgrading to the e-bike was easy and worth it. Bring cash for lunch! The ride was not too strenuous, but was a good activity. We visited beautiful locations and Pohan was able to give us great background for all places. I would recommend this to anyone!

We had a great time with Pohan despite very challenging conditions. It was snowing hard for the first part of our tour but Pohan responded well swapping aspects around to accommodate. He was knowledgable and professional and would thoroughly recommend and we felt lucky to see places such as the golden temple in the snow!

Had a fantastic experience with Jorge yesterday. He was so insightful, funny, patient and engaging. Not only was the bike ride around town beautiful, but getting such an educated introduction to the histories and rituals of the temples and shrines was invaluable, and gave us a much more in-depth appreciation for Kyoto. Highly recommend this experience!

Highly recommend this tour. Great selection of shrines and temples, accompanied by an exhilarating cycle through Kyoto on e-bikes. Our guide Pohan was very knowledgeable, explaining the history of each of the shrines and temples and providing us with an opportunity to participate in the traditional customs. Would recommend stocking up on low value coins prior to this tour so that you can participate in the ceremonies (for example purchasing prayer candles and making wishes). Really enjoyed the walk through the bamboo forest and Pohan provided us the opportunity to select where we wanted to finish off the walk in Arashiyama. Overall, one of our favourite tours so far!

Wonderful experience for our family of four. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, a true pleasure to spend the day with. We wish we had done this tour first as we learned a great deal about the history of the shrines, temples and Japan in general. E bikes in excellent shape, very easy to use. Very nice that one guide rode at lead and another rode at the back to be sure everyone stayed together. Stop for lunch was very fun and unique as well. We highly recommend this tour!
