We had a fantastic guide named Julie leading us around Kyoto. First we met at the meeting point, we arrived half an hour early, but to our surprise Julie was already setup and came out and greeted us and started the tour earlier, and we finished the tour later than described in website. So we felt like we got more... More

Having now travelled quite extensively with my kids, cycling is one of our favourite ways to see things. We loved our day-long tour with Julie and KCTP. We did this tour on the first day we were in Kyoto, and spent a lot of time on the East side of the river (Higashiyama), then passed back through the imperial palace... More

I did the half day Back Street tour with Keiko. She was very welcoming, spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable. I had lots of questions and she was able to answer them all. We were very lucky and saw a maiko (apprentice geisha) coming out of the beauty salon in the back streets of Gion. The tour is an... More

We booked a guided "Back Street Tour" for the afternoon. We met our tour guide Keiko, did the paperwork and was off. She was very attentive to make sure that the pace was OK for the three of us and proceeded to take us around town. We had invited a Japanese friend to join us, and she said that she... More

My husband and I had a great time on the half day back street tour with Nok as our guide. The tour was an easy ride, a good mix of information and time to enjoy the beautiful sights. Luckily we were the old people on the tour, so Nok was our personal tour guide. She was a delightful guide, great... More

I saw this on trip advisor before my departure and was intrigued! I booked pre departure (would advise this as in peak times it was busy) and thought it sounded great. And it was! Best money I spent all trip. The benefits were exploring the city on bike which helped me see more in less time; riding around with someone... More

We didn't do a guided tour with the Kyoto Cycling Tour Project; but we used their service to hire bicycles for a self guided trip (we wanted to take a ride between several attractions at our own pace). Bicycle turned out to be a terrific way to see not just the touristy locations, but also the suburban and semirural parts... More
