I went with my whole family. This was our first time seeing Maiko. Watching them dance and then taking pictures with the Maiko made for a fantastic Kyoto memory.

私を頼って来てくれたアメリカの友人たちに、私がアテンド出来ない日が一日発生し、その間、彼らだけをこのサービスに預けた。
彼らの感想は "大満足" だった。 予めWEBで見つけておいた、行きたい場所をリクエストし連れていってもらったそうで、かなり融通も利いたようだった。
土産物探しも、付き合ってくれて大変助かった。
素人の私が京都を案内するよりも、遥かに効率良く、良い想い出が作れたことと思う。
次回は自分も乗ってみたい。

Lulu, our guide for the trip, did a great job showing us around Kyoto. The bikes were well maintained and the course was very enjoyable. We would have missed out on a lot of interesting facts and places had we tried to visit these locations on our own. After the tour she showed us a great ramen restaurant and gave us some advise for our plans after the tour.

Weather was terrible, raining all the way through, but no mention in the first few days before the trip the trip that would suggeat the condition. We could've dressed more appropriately. Tour guide was very nice, but she should've stayed in the boat with us. Food was average, nothing special...and we didnt even know what we we were eating!

The pick up was easy and be on time. Everyone was on the ball and there were no hassles. We did a comprehensive tour of three site sin kyoto and two in nara. We had admission to the imperial palace and that was a rare treat. Thed golden shrine was spectacular . The giant buddha temple was also a real treat. there were deers everywhere and theyre most friendly. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom then and it was spectacular anywhere in Kyoto and Nara. The lunch was delicious. Our tour guides were all fluent and very helpful and hardworking. I really enjoyed the tour and I would highly recommend it.

It would be too tough on us to walk around all the way. We had a nice breakfast at a cafe off the main road, and then took a break at nearby the main temple gate, having bought red-bean rice balls from a famous store which will usually is sold out in the morning. It was very fun. I think we covered quite a lot of ground.
By the way, more information on the bike parking lots would be appreciated.

We wished that the tour guide would bring us back to near Central Post Office where the tour started as everyone was not familiar with the public transportation from Gion district to Kyoto Station.

The tour fits the title, as you get to see the Shouzan Garden and watch maiko dance. It is worth the price. The guide kept things going at a good pace, with no wasted time. Additionally, the instructions sent in advance by Veltra were very helpful. I will book from them again.

First time went to Kyoto alone, we didn't know where to go, we found on the internet about this tour. We had a wonderful time and enjoy tour, tour guide is really friendly and closer with travellers. But only each sightseeing places too much travellers, and the time for sightseeing is limited, so that we have not lot of time to sightseeing as well.
If have change to travel again, we will chose this tour. Thank you

A great way to discover Kyoto. We covered lots, Heian Jingu, The Silver Pavilion, Philosophers' Walk. Our guide even suggested the Nishiki food market as good lunch destination and Gion for Geysha spotting after the tour. The bikes were comfortable and the tour was a gentle ride, mainly riverside. Kyoto has a much more laid back vibe than Tokyo. Highly recommended.

I was fortunate enough to be the only person on this tour so had a personalised tour! Tour guide was excellent, clearly intelligent person. As somebody with experience of living both in Europe and Japan she was able to reflect on cultural characteristics and differences between east/west ideologies which led to interesting/easy flowing conversations. She allowed a good balance of directed information but also gave me time to myself for contemplation i.e. of gardens. She was clearly responsive to my interests and needs and I'm sure would be flexible where possible to suit the requests of the group.

I signed up for this package thinking this tour was in English. It was in Japanese. Food was OK. Average food that you would expect from tours. Nothing amazing, but if you never had Kyoto dish this is a good experience for you. Dinner was near Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion), not in Gion. Another detail that I had missed. Though it was impressive to see some trees as old as 500 years old in the Jaoanese garden where we had dinner, the garden itself was not so enjoyable. Night view of the Kyoto is lame and not sure if it was worth driving all the way across town for that. Recommended for Maiko experience only.

It's a good tour to get to know the central area of Kyoto.
Our guide did a good job guiding us through the market to the Sake tasting and then the Sushi making.
We did the afternoon tour and it can be crowded in the Nishiki market at that time.
We went back on a morning and it's much nicer then.
The highlight of the tour was the Sushi making.
2 lovely ladies explained and taught us how to make sushi.
After making the sushi we had a nice meal.
Thank you very much for your lovely comment . We are glad to know that you enjoyed the program.

It was a fantastic experience for my family including our 10-year old daughter. We had only limited time in Kyoto area so we wanted to get the best of Kyoto. We were certainly did the right thing by choosing this tour. The morning was in Kyoto and afternoon in Nara. We got to see beautiful historical sites including Nijo Castle, Imperial Palace, the Deer Park... but the part we loved the most was our afternoon guide, who's a lovely lady from Osaka area. She not only provided information about the places we visited but only added a lot of rich content about Japanese history and culture. She made our experience so enjoyable! She brought some beautiful Japanese music to play on our way back to Kyoto from Nara while we rest and trying to take in all the impression we had had during the intensive 10 hour visit of two of the oldest cities in Japan. Just before reaching the final stop, she performed a Japanese song for us which left a very sweet memory in our hearts. It's shame that I didn't remember her name, but her sweet voice and warm smile will be with me for a long time. Thank you our lovely tour guide-san!!

南アからの訪問者ご夫婦を案内するのに使わせて頂きました。6時間の短時間で効率良く観光するにはとても最適です。運転手さんが英語を話せるのもGoodです。お客さんと運転手さんの間で直接会話が弾み、個人的な理解も深まってお客さん自身も楽しみが増えたと思います。
観光プランは基本的に行ってみたい処だけを運転手さんに伝えて、後はお任せでしたが、最も効率の良い観光ができました。
桜の時期は既に過ぎていましたが、なんとか桜をお客さんに見せてあげられないかと思っていたところ、運転手さんから仁和寺が遅咲きの桜が満開だろうとのアドバイスがあり訪問しました。運転手さんの言う通り丁度満開で、最高のタイミング満喫することができました。
車も乗り心地が良く十分コストに見合うものだと思います。次の機会も利用させて頂きたいと思っています。

I loved the places we went to see and the food was absolutely wonderful! The one BIG thing I was disappointed in, which ruined the tour for me, was that I could not understand our guide! She was supposed to be english speaking, but her accent was too heavy and she spoke very fast. She was a nice lady, but unless I got very close to her to watch her lips as she spoke, I couldn't understand most of what she said. Please get guides that speak clearly!

全行程5時間。道路も空いているかな、と思い日曜日に利用しました。借りる場所が京都駅からすぐ近く、ということもあり、戻ってくる際もとても安心して利用できました。これはポイント高かったです。また、なにより、かなり自転車がちゃんと整備されていて、ブレーキやタイヤから感じる安心感がありました。ホテルが貸してくれる、ママチャリとはぜんぜん違います。笑
京都は碁盤の目といわれますが、まさにその通りで、だいたいの方向がわかれば、電車よりもずっと効率よくまわることができたように思いました。特に東山地区は見所が多い割には電車の便がよくないため、結局歩き回って疲れる、というパターンなので、とても得した気分でした。
コースは、ほぼ東西南北を時計まわりに、いきたいところに効率よくいけました。坂道も少なく、また大きな通りのちょっと脇道には車通りの少ない道もあるので、思っていたよりも安全に走行できたのもよかったです。坂といえるような坂は東山あたりで少しあったぐらいでしょうか。なによりも、ガイドブックにのっていない「普段の京都」をゆっくり楽しみながらまわれて、とても有意義な時間をすごせました。ローカルの目線で街をみれたのもよかった。
はじめての京都だと、自転車を借りて自分であちこちまわるのはちょっと厳しいかもしれません。最初はやはり定番のバス観光やちょっとだけぜいたくをしてチャータータクシーがずっと便利で安心しょう。でもリピータの方なら、あそこをもう一度、もうちょっとゆっくりみたかった、という方には、この自転車レンタルはとても価値高いと思います。
まわったコース:計5時間(うち30分ランチタイム)
1、京都駅から北上:四条(室町通り沿い)、二条城、一条戻橋、上賀茂(賀茂別雷)神社へ。
2、上賀茂神社から南東へ:北山駅、下鴨(賀茂御祖)神社へ。
3、下鴨神社から東山へ:京都大学、銀閣寺、哲学の道、南禅寺へ。
4、南禅寺から京都駅まで:平安神宮、知恩院、円山公園、祇園(ランチ)、鴨川を渡り、東本願寺を経て、京都駅へ。

Our first destination was to the Kinkaku-ji Temple.Our knowledgeable guide was very informative all along the way, enhancing our understanding and appreciation of this historical site. The experience at Kinkaku-ji Temple truly is a fine example of human architecture and nature co-existing in harmony.
Our next destination was to be the Bamboo Walk where famous parts of the movie scene–Memoirs of a Geisha were taken.Next,we headed towards Tenryuji Tsukurimichi-cho.
Our final stop of the day was to be Gion.After an informative introduction by our driver,we bade him goodbye and was left to enjoy the rest of the evening walking the area of Gion.We will definitely would like to come back to Kyoto again for our next trip to Japan,which has left us an everlasting impression of beauty, cleanliness and impeccable standards of service!
