Incredibly good tour for family - The family tour was fantastic! We had 3 adults, a 5 year old and 2 year old twins. Ray was really good with the kids and they loved the stamp books he gave them. The bamboo forest was great to see and the monkey park was amazing. This bike tour was a great way to see the city. The cycling was easy and the stops were timed perfectly. To end it with the “best donuts in the world” really topped off the trip. If you are in Kyoto with kids, you will love it!

We didn't see time passing. Kids also loved - We were at de bike tour with our 5 e 8 year old son. The bicycles were in excellent condition. Our 5-year-old son used a tandem bicycle. It was winter, but the cold didn't bother us. We had a great afternoon. Our guide was Ray, he's great with kids and taught us a lot about Japanese culture. He took a tour without any rush and we lost track of time. Plus, he took great photos.

Fun and fact-filled family adventure - Top-class experience led by experienced and knowledgeable team, enjoyed by three under 10s and mum and dad. From the first contact, the KBT team were responsive and flexible. Bikes were new and tailored to the ages of the kids. Peter took care of the rest. Itinerary has kids' needs in mind and Peter dropped in informative tidbits throughout the tour. We loved it and would have done the full day if we'd known.

Family bike tour - This was by far the best day we had in Kyoto. Peter was so friendly and helpful making sure the kids bikes and helmets were safe before departing. It was so nice to explore the quieter areas and ride through the rice fields. Peter organised for the children to feed the monkeys and made sure to stop for a sweet snack on the way home. He also snapped some amazing photos along the way. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kyoto!

Best day! - I found this tour on a social media ad and booked based on previous reviews and the kid friendly tour option. I was glad I did!! We had a fantastic day. Me, my husband and two kids (3yrs and 5yrs) enjoyed our tour today with Ray. We booked a kids trailer for our two girls and they could sit back and relax while we did all the work. We stopped at a local kids playground, the bamboo forest, kimono forest, rode through rice fields and ended at the monkey forest. The ride was flat and easy, the pace was super relaxed and stops for rests, snacks (including the worlds best donut) and photos was great! Ray was fantastic sharing his knowledge of the area, culture and Japan in general as well as capturing many photos of our family throughout the day. We had the best day being guided around these popular locations! Many thanks to Ray!!

Amazing tour experience in Kyoto. Ray is awesome. - My wife, 9 year old son and I participated in this amazing bike tour earlier this month. Ray took us on an incredible route through Arashiyama and parts of Kyoto we would never have seen. It was a cruisy ride with excellent bikes and some ice cold water for our 30+ Celsius conditions. Ray took photos of us along the way - including with his very nifty drone. Ray had great local insights and was great company during the tour. For anyone looking for something personal and unique, I highly recommend this bike tour! Thanks once again Ray!
