Was not experience worth the money.
Thank you for sharing and we do understand your frustration. We are sorry the tour did not work out on the day. However, we do want to clarify what happened. Our guide was at the meeting point as scheduled, and we did speak with you by phone that morning. Unfortunately, you were in a completely different part of the city at the time, which made it impossible for the tour to proceed. You then proceeded to claim that our guide did not show up on Viator to get a refund. We feel that that is important to address. We always do our best to accommodate our guests, but there is very little we can do when someone is not at the correct location at departure time. We appreciate you understanding our position.
A thrilling bike ride across Kyoto hills and forests of and the insightful visits to the temples and shrines was a perfect combination. Definitely recommend this tour for an authentic way to explore this beautiful city
Thank you so much for this! Hills, forests, temples and shrines all in one morning, sounds like a perfect day in Kyoto! We're really glad the experience hit the spot and hope to see you back someday.
My family had a great time on this tour. Sean did a great job showing us around the city, providing us insights about Kyoto, and memories. I would recommend this to anyone.
Thank you so much for this! We're really glad the whole family had such a good time and that Sean was able to make the day feel memorable. He'll be really happy to read this. Hope to see you all back in Kyoto someday.
I can't say enough good things about this excursion. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions. The route was adapted to account for the hot weather. Drinks were included. Be sure to wear breathable clothing and comfortable shoes, and bring sunscreen with you.
Thank you so much for this! Our guides always keep an eye on conditions and make sure everyone is well looked after throughout the day, and it's great to hear the experience was such an enjoyable one despite the heat. Hope to see you back in Kyoto someday.
This tour with Yuta was amazing! We almost cancelled our reservation because we had been on two tours in Tokyo that were terrible and it was really hot. We are all SO glad we didn’t—we had a blast with Yuta and we learned so much. Thank you Yuta! Also the ebikes are new, great, easy to use, and the ride through the forest was so fun!
Thank you so much for this! We're really glad you decided to give it a go and that Yuta was able to turn things around after a rough run of tours. He'll be absolutely thrilled to read this. Hope to see you all back in Kyoto someday.
Brilliant e-bike tour of Kyoto with Sean. We discovered places we wouldn’t have found by ourselves and really enjoyed the conversation and information from Sean. We appreciated the flexibility about which sites we visited and the grilled mochi stop was an unexpected treat. We highly recommended this tour- a highlight of our holiday.
Thank you so much for this! Sean will be really happy to hear it. We're glad the day felt flexible and personal, that's exactly what we aim for. Hope to see you back in Kyoto someday.
Yuta was absolutely sensational as our guide. This was a magnificent way to see Kyoto and learn about its unique history. Yuta was wealth of knowledge and modified the trip to meet our needs. The hidden shrine he took us to was magical and will be remembered as a highlight of our time in Japan!
Thank you so much for this! Yuta has a real instinct for tailoring the experience to the group and we're glad it made for such a memorable day. A hidden shrine that stays with you long after the trip — that's exactly what we set out to create. He'll be really happy to read this. Hope to see you back in Kyoto someday.
Sean was a great guide! I chose the 1pm tour on what was probably the hottest day in Kyoto, but Sean took great care of us. He made sure we hit shade often, and had us stop to re-hydrate! We even biked up to this summit and had the most beautiful view of the city! Highly recommend!!
Thank you so much for this! Sean taking such good care of the group on the hottest day of the year says a lot about him as a guide. And a summit view over Kyoto sounds like a pretty perfect way to end a ride. He'll be really happy to read this. Hope to see you back in Kyoto someday.
I had do much fun! I enjoyed learning about some of Kyoto’s hidden treasures while also getting a good work out in. It also helped that my guide was hilarious.
Thank you so much for this! Hope to see you back in Kyoto someday.
Sean was such an excellent tour guide and pivoted well when rain decided to join our tour. He is both intelligent and athletic - making it an excellent experience for my family full of boys/men. There was some great biking involved, but Sean was able to answer questions with facts off the top of his mind. It was very impressive to ask questions, and his response would have years and other details to support his response - he knows his city well. He also shared some delicious grilled mochi and an impromptu matcha tea mini-ceremony when the rain arrived. Afterwards, we had an amazing dinner thanks to his recommendations. It was a very fun and informative way to learn about Kyoto. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this! Sean really does know how to roll with whatever the day throws at him, and it sounds like the rain only added to the experience. His depth of knowledge is something our guests consistently pick up on and we're glad it impressed the whole group. He'll be really happy to read this. Hope to see you all back in Kyoto someday.
