What you can expect

Take a bike tour of some of Kyoto’s highlights with a local guide. Visit the Heian Shrine and Ginkakuji Temple, explore the spectacular scenery of the Philosopher’s Path, and discover the beautiful back streets in this very bike-friendly city.

After meeting your guide, get ready for your cycling adventure.

Make your first stop at the Shinto Heian Shrine and discover its spectacular garden. Continue to the Zen Ginkakuji Temple and admire its silver pavilion. At each stop, learn how Buddhism and Shinto have shaped Japan's culture.

Ride along the Philosopher’s Path and marvel at the natural splendour around you. Visit the Zen Nanzenji Temple, and appreciate the beauty and design of a UNESCO World Heritage Zen garden.

During the tour, feel each place come to life as your guide tells you stories and gives you insights. Get around like a local in the charming back streets of Kyoto, and sense history oozing out of the buildings

Make the most of your holiday time as you whiz right past the lineups for the bus and the crowded pavements. Feel safe knowing your guide will take you on the most scenic and safe routes. A stop is made for lunch during the tour, at your own expense, and the tour ends at the original meeting point.
