“Absolutely loved our cycling tour with Ray and Milo of Kyoto Bike Tour. The bamboo forest is just a small part of what was a beautiful cycle around surrounding neighbourhoods, countryside laden with lush green rice paddies, and visits to temples and shrines. Ray and Milo generously shared their extensive knowledge of Japanese history, culture and language and we were grateful for all they imparted to us. Arigatogozaimasu.”
