"My girlfriend and I had such a wonderful time with kyoto bike tour. We did a custom Arashiyama and Bamboo Forest Tour and spent the day cycling all around Arashiyama. Only 2 of the places we visited were crowded. The other 6 were incredibly peaceful and quiet. Actually, I think we may have been the only tourists there! Many thanks Kyoto Bike Tour for showing us around. As promised, we will be sure to tell our friends coming to Japan to join a tour!" -Dominik and Rahel
