Really nice tour through Kyoto, Canadian Kevin knows the good spots, excellent tour guide. Thank you. Miguel & Paulina

Beautiful scenery and folklore

Published on Nov, 2024

The tour took us away from the hustle and bustle of the city along the path of philisophy and other beautiful locations. Philippe has great folklore and history to capture your imagination also!

Amazing day on the bikes w Kevin M!

Published on Nov, 2024

We had an incredible bike tour with Kevin M (the good looking one!). Our 9 yr old rocked the bikes and 14 and 16 yr olds had even more fun!! We can’t recommend this enough!! Give Kevin a call!

A fun way to discover Kyoto

Published on Nov, 2024

Kevin (from Canada) who led our group ensured that we all maintained a comfortable pace and we had enough time to view the sites and have conversations in a relaxed way. I was vegetarian so it was ensured that we were taken to a place for lunch that had available options. Majority of the streets we were on were not crowded which made riding easy. I did this on the last day, which was a fun way to end my Kyoto trip.

Great time on a bike and nice sights

Published on Oct, 2024
