It was a great way to spend the morning. Our tour guide brought us along a few temples and of course the bamboo garden hike area. It was very interesting. I was with two children aged 11 and 9 yrs who knew how to cycle. So if it was just adults, I'm sure you may get to see more.
Excellent

Awesome and informative bicycle tour!

We chose this tour purely to see the bamboo forest and beat the crowds. However, we were blown away with all other locations we were taken to along the way - a lot of the places we never would have seen on our own.
Our guide Ray provided us with vital information and facts about each location and Japan including lots of great tips and recommendations for our stay in Kyoto, nearby delicious food and Nara. Not long after our tour finished, Ray sent us all the photos he had taken of the group along the way.
It was definitely a perfect way to see part of Kyoto and I will be recommending to all friends/family who travel to Japan!

Ray was a wonderful guide who kept us engaged and yet was attentive to any individual needs. He ensured everyone had enough water and snacks as we cycled through the various areas and explored different tourist spots. As a solo traveller for business, this was a great way to meet people for a few hours and feel part of a group and to have fun. The bikes were Cannondale and in great condition. This is a must do trip in Kyoto to see a lot in a relatively short length of time. It was a great way to be outside in the heat but to experience the cool breeze as you cycle, the smells of incense, the sounds and the things you would miss in a car or bus. The fact that it goes early was also worth it, we had the bamboo grove to ourselves and had seen a lot by the end of the tour and yet had the rest of the day for other adventures. This type of trip isn't a "canned" trip, Ray was personal and yet professional. Thank you.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
