京都：シティシークレット eBike ツアー

This was a great tour on bikes through Kyoto. Sean our guide provided us with so much information and adapted the tour to suit us. Thank you Sean for making this a wonderful experience. Highly recommend

After a long 26 hour journey from NZ, a refreshing e-bike tour through the Kyoto lime green leafy springtime back streets, to reach quiet zen temples, shrines and sipping chilled tea at a 1000 year old cafe was just the tonic my husband and I needed on our first afternoon in Japan. YUTA our guide was incredibly knowledgeable. He passionately shared super interesting cultural, religious, social norms and historical insights about Kyoto and its (relatively small) 1.5 million population. It’s easy to get distracted with the scenery, stories and local people. Keep looking out for the red traffic lights to ensure you stay safe, stay left and observe strict local road rules, especially in the annual Golden week when the streets can be super busy. YUTA did a great job of anticipating and avoiding busy areas - even getting a normally busy temple to stay open a bit longer for our group to enjoy all to ourselves.

Shawn’s knowledge of Japanese history and the Kyoto environment was superb and wonderfully presented. There was a great selection of places of interest.
