Kyoto Magic with Kayoko

Published on Apr, 2025

Kyoto Magic with Kayoko! Kayoko Takada's Kyoto cycling tour was the highlight of our Japan trip! Cherry blossoms, stunning temples, and Kayoko's amazing knowledge made it unforgettable. Kind and passionate, she showed us the best of Kyoto. A must-do!

Great tour with knowledgable guide

Published on Mar, 2025

Kazu was an absolutely amazing guide, he was very informative, answering every question we had and going into extra small, but interesting details when he did. Despite it being a bit of a rainy day we had a wonderful time and really appreciated how clear the directions were while cycling too. He was the best tour guide we had during our time in Japan and I would highly recommend this lovely man to any and all people looking to do a tour in Kyoto. (Okini Kazu-san!)

Well worth it

Published on Dec, 2024

Fantastic tour. Rich-San answered questions and gave such great information. A great way to see so much of Kyoto at once

Several walking tours in one

Published on Nov, 2024

You get to see a big section of Kyoto without having to walk several miles. The tour guide was helpful and very knowledgeable. Would recommend on your first or second day in Kyoto. Wear padded pants if you are not used to riding a bike to save you butt lol.
