We organised two tours with Ralf as we were a large group. Both groups had a fantastic time with Ralf. From picking our bicycles up to return a great day out. We all felt safe with the routes we took. The information given was brilliant. We never felt hurried but kept a good pace going to keep to time schedules.
Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for the very positive review. Our time together in Kyoto feels now like a time travel to a different place... I really wish to see you guys back in Kyoto someday, on the bike and on the mat. Until then I wish you all the best, Ralf.

We had 2 day half tours in Kyoto with Ralf. He was incredible. He is very professional and competent. He explained very well with a wide knowledge of the culture and the history. We really couldn't have asked for a better two days in Kyoto - really wonderful! !

Ralf is an enthusiastic Kyoto guide. Very knowledgeable about the Japanese history, culture and also modern life.
Apparently he has hike tours too but we couldn’t manage time for this trip. Definitely we will go to beautiful mountains of Kyoto with him next time.
Highly recommended!

We (3 Guys) was looking for a real Kyoto highlight and found Ralf and his Scooter-Journey through and around Kyoto. It was really amazing and whole-day-filling. It was our first time driving by a Scooter and i just can recommend it.
If you want to see the pure nature around kyoto and looking for good food (soba noodles), then Ralf is your man.

Dear Michael,
Thank you for your good review!
I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed our Scenic Scooter Loop and my favorite Soba-Tempura lunch.
It was a pleasure meeting all of you and sharing the lesser-known areas of Kyoto.
Please say hello to Mustafa and Marvin.
All the best,
Ralf

Ralph has excellent knowledge of the history & area of Kyoto. He is an awesome guide & very pleasant company to spend time with. We throughly enjoyed the day out being guided around Kyoto by bicycle. One of the highlights has got to be the local wildlife (I think a buzzard) swooping down to grab food straight from hand while sat on the river bank! Kyoto is an exciting & wonderfully cultural place to visit & only enhanced by Ralph’s charismatic personality in showing us around.
Absolutely recommend this tour 👍🏻

Thank you for tanking the time reviewing our tour!
I really had a blast taking you and the team on my favorite bicycle course in Kyoto.
The incident with the wild buzzard wasn't part of the tour but really made for a good memory! :)
Hope to meet soon again!

Ralf put together a custom tour around Kyoto for our group based on our shared interests. It was an excellent day out and the stops were well judged. Ralf put to rest any fears about cycling in an unfamiliar city and the bikes were in good condition. The glorious weather helped too! Recommended Kyoto activity. Heartily recommend Ralf as a guide on or off a bicycle due to his excellent knowledge of Kyoto and Japanese history.

Was searching for a guide on the web and Ralf was the first to respond. Stated that there were 4 things I wanted to do. Arashiyama was on the other side of town from the other attractions but we made it work. After telling Ralf where I was staying he actually came to my hotel to pick me up as I was close by. I asked to go as early as possible which he was up for. This made a huge difference. We started at 6am and the main attractions were basically deserted which was perfect. Ralf also cares about what you want out of the day. If you want a history tour he is full of knowledge. If you just want the scenic tour and some great photo stops he knows these as well. In short Ralf cares about the customer and I recommend using him to anyone. He also knows where to get the best coffee in Kyoto and a good place to get Ramen Noodles. Ralf really made the whole experience worthwhile and I would like to thank you for a great experience.

If you like riding a scooter, seeing japanese nature and the more remote places, but also don't want to miss out on the highlights of Kyoto City, this tour is for you! Starting with the golden pavilion, we continued through beautiful forests, a small shinto shrine and winding roads to a beautiful local restaurant with amazing food. Afterwards we took in some more nature and went to a great lookout point, before we came back to the city to see arashiyama bamboo grove. We were also very lucky with the weather, so we had a great day!
