Pricing
Flat rates per group, not per person. What you see here is what you pay. No fuel surcharges, no per-traveller add-ons.
How our pricing works
Every Kimasu tour is private and quoted per group, up to six guests. The price covers your guide for the full duration, the route planning, and any equipment we provide (bikes, helmets, rain ponchos). Entry tickets to paid sites and personal meals are not included unless stated.
Indicative rates
Final price depends on season, group size, and any custom requests. We confirm the exact amount with your quote.

|---|---|---|
| Half day, bike or walk | 3 to 4 hours | €350 |
| Full day, bike or walk | 6 to 8 hours (lunch included) | €550 |
