“Fantastic day out with our guide Peter. We were travelling with our 23 year old son and the tour was very much enjoyed but us all. Great way to see the major sights but would suggest unless you are a very regular long distance bike rider you upgrade to the pedal assist bikes - made the whole day that little more enjoyable. Thanks all for a fabulous day!”

“Our drivers were very professional and courteous. They picked us up at the cruise ship terminal in Osaka, on time, (holding a name plaque with our name). They then transported us to our destination, Nanzenji Temple in Kyoto, on time. They even waited with us until our guides arrived. The over all cost for 2, 9 passenger vans was very reasonably priced. I highly recommend this service!”
