About this tour
See Kyoto the way locals do: by bike. This small-group tour with an English-speaking local guide starts at Heian Shrine and takes you through quiet backstreets, along canals and the Kamo River. Grand Opening: our Kyoto tours start on November 1, 2026, with special opening prices. Two departures, two different routes: Morning tour (10:15 start): Heian Shrine, Nanzen-ji Temple and its brick aqueduct, the Philosopher's Path, the Kamo River Delta, Nashinoki Shrine, the Kamo River, the Shirakawa canal in Gion and the Lake Biwa Canal. Ends back at the starting point. Afternoon tour (14:30 start): Heian Shrine, the Kamo River Delta, Shimogamo Shrine and the Tadasu no Mori forest, Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, Kamishichiken, Kyoto's oldest geisha district, and the Sanjo-kai shopping street. Ends at Kyoto City Hall, close to Pontocho for dinner. Ride a Bianchi cross bike, or choose a Panasonic e-bike with pedal assist. The pace is relaxed, and your guide shares the history behind each stop.
