The three of us took the tour and it was of great value. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and there is no better way to visit Kyoto. More

We were a group of two Australian couples travelling through Japan earlier this year. We decided to spend our first full day in Kyoto on a bike tour after enjoying another great bike tour in Tokyo the week before. Kyoto Cycling Tours really are fantastic! Our guide Keiko was absolutely lovely and very informative. As it was only the four... More

There seems to be a common theme to the reviews for Kyoto Cycling Tour Project...that it's the best way to see Kyoto and that Keiko is an excellent tour guide. Well I'm going to carry that theme on! We are staying near the station so the cycle shop was only five minutes walk away (close to the bus station and... More

We are a couple from the U.S. (late 20s, active) that is interested in doing the all day West Course bike tour. It is less expensive ($80 -90 USD less per person) to do this tour with 4 people. Please message me via TripAdvisor if you are interested. Thank you! More

We took our two ten year old twins on this wonderful half day tour. Aki, our guide spoke perfect English. She took us to some of the important attractions and in between we cycled past beautiful temples and through well to do quiet Kyoto suburbs.... Paced perfectly for adults and kids in our age group. Great to get a bit... More

We did the backstreet tour and found it very enjoyable. Our guide, Yoko, was very informative and spoke perfect English. On top of the tour we were able to keep the bikes until 7pm which was great. We found cycling to be the best way to get around Kyoto. Definitely recommend this. More

We have done the kyoto bike tour 2 times. Both times with families that were not bikers and everyone loved it. Our guide Yuko was knowledgeable but without being overwhelming and really brought the city to life. Although we have been to Kyoto several times we always bring guests to her to ensure that they leave with a strong sense... More

We are thinking of joining KCTP's (http://www.kctp.net/en/) Kyoto Cyling Tour on the 0930 morning of 23rd April. But as we are just a couple, it would be cheaper to have 4 people. So, if there is another couple wanting to join in, please email me - shaw@netplus.com.au. Of course, English speaking. We are a fit couple in our early 40... More

I'd first like to give a shout out to our tour guide, Hiroko Nakamura, who deserves 5+ stars. Hiroko was a tour guide superstar: Warm personality, funny sense of humor, great knowledge, and keenly interested in showing us as much of Kyoto as she could possibly squeeze into an 8 hour time frame (we actually went over by 30 minutes)....

KCTP has excellent english speaking guides and they are all extremely knowledgeable. My husband and I spent three days in Kyoto in mid March with our adult son and his girlfriend. Although the weather was very cold the day we did our tour, we dressed warmly and were prepared to ride in whatever the weatherman sent our way. We did... More
