A great time in Kyoto - Yuta was a fabulous guide , knowledgeable & passionate about Kyoto , we had a fantastic day full of information, history & wonderful sights. It was so very hot , Yuta changed the day up , we went into the mountains to a very pretty cool stream to cool off , I would absolutely recommend this tour & if you can book the day you get to Kyoto it is a fabulous show case to a lovely vibrant city.

Highlight of our 2 week trip to Japan! - This was the highlight of our trip to Japan. Granted, we could only afford to book one tour/excursion/experience during our trip, but we're certainly glad we did this one and it was worth every yen! In fact, this tour was so interesting and fun, I regret not splurging a bit more on similar experiences/tours. Anyway, as for the tour, e-biking around "hidden kyoto" was wonderful. We arrived super early, but our tour guide, Michael, was already there with a friendly greeting and not at all annoyed that we were so early. I've never e-biked before, but MIchael gave a great how-to lesson. He took us through some beautiful streets and quiet neighborhoods. I could have JUST done that all day. But, in addition to the sights, Michael was a wonderful and incredibly knowledgeable tour guide. Despite the heat, he was still very energetic and engaging. I absolutely loved learning about some lesser well known temples and other little facts about Kyoto. I could not recommend this tour and Michael enough!

Great guide and tour! - The E-Bike Tour was truly an incredible experience and highlight of our trip to Kyoto. Our guide, Yuta, blew us away with his deep knowledge of the history along the tour and fun conversation as well. We would recommend to any travelers looking to get off the beaten trail.

Avoid the crowds, learn and stay engaged - Henry is very knowledgeable about Japanese culture and history, as well as Kyoto landarks, made it very accessible for Westerners, and even kept our teenage son engaged, and that takes a talent. Henry made sure that we avoided the tourist crowds (in July no less!), yet he took us to a number of important shrines and temples in Kyoto. Highly recommend this e-bike tour.

Kyoto & Yuta & E-Bikes = Best tour ever! - This tour was a highlight of our trip and we are still talking about it daily. Has as much to do with our fantastic tour guide, Yuta, as it does with how gorgeous Kyoto is (especially in the morning quiet) and how much fun we had covering the streets of Kyoto on e-bikes. Yuta led us so well, even after the tour via his superb tips about a less-touristy shrine and bamboo forest that was one of the most beautiful places we saw. Highly recommend touring Kyoto with Yuta on these e-bikes!!

Personal and interactive afternoon - Yuta, led us on both a physical tour through a beautiful city’s hidden treasures as well as a personal existential journey interweaved in the stops. A wonderful outing was had by all, and I highly recommend this tour especially if you are interested in more than just seeing landmarks.
