My wife and I were really excited for this tour until we found out it was an hour drive from where embarked on our cruise, and it would cost us upwards of $150 USD one way to get to the starting point. I messaged Cycle Kyoto and they not only responded quickly, but suggested alternative ways to get there. We ended taking the transit which ended up costing us roughly $15 USD. When we arrived, all the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. They set us up in our bikes and let us prep for the bike ride. The tour guide, Mayco, was amazing! She was so friendly and was an excellent guide that taught us a lot about the Kyoto area, country symbolism’s, and the rich history. She was very accommodating to the group of wanting to see specific areas of the tour and made sure the group was comfortable on the ride by providing enough hydrates. The tour included a lunch. The lunch was honestly amazing, which consisted of a Japanese conveyer belt system. The sushi provided was spectacular and delicious. I’d be lying if I said I would never be back, next time I was in town. Overall, the experience was exceptional and there is nothing I can think of that could be make it better. Thank you Cycle Kyoto and our terrific tour guide, Mayco!

Getting a bike tour with Mayko felt well-planned and proved to be a perfect introduction to Kyoto. She engaged us with the traditions of the city and individual sites and further discussed their influences in current Japanese culture. The route felt safe even for riders like myself who had not ridden for years on end. The destinations were paced to keep us enjoying the bike ride between memorable destinations. Even after returning, I still think of the charming repairs of historic Nishi Honganji and how such visible mending makes the experience more endearing. At the day's end, I was pleased with how much ground we covered, curious to see the rest of the sites, and eager to explore Japan throughout the rest of the vacation.
