You'll learn so much about Balinese culture on this trip -- it is truly educational! You stop at a small agro farm and learn about what grows in Indonesia (cocoa, coffee, etc.) and sample different coffees and teas. The biking is more like coasting downhill -- you will hardly have to pedal. You get to enter a private family compound and learn about who lives where and why and about death and burial customs and which child inherits the compound and why it can never be sold. You'll learn about how Balinese children are named. You stop in a rice field and learn about planting and harvesting. And, you can ask any questions along the way or request to stop if you see something interesting (we added a stop at a roadside shop that did wood carving; we also asked our guide to find a large spider as we had that on an earlier trip and he did!) and your guide will happily accommodate. We are Americans living in Jakarta and every time we take visitors to Bali we do this tour with them. It was closed down during Covid so we were so excited they're operating the cycling tour again!!! It was the highlight of our visitors' time in Bali!!!! We learn something new every time. They are using a new restaurant at the end for lunch and it is excellent and a great change! This trip is so worth the price and never disappoints!

I still wonder where the 'eco' and 'educational' parts were to be found in this tour (maybe because we rode a bicycle?). This tour is advertised to be a local unique experience and a 'signature' classic tour (all the marketing terminology is there) in reality it is nothing but a cheap, ordinary tour. Even the rice fields they took us to were the least impressive of all the ones I saw in Bali and well if you don't mind having a guide being excited like a kid to show you a rooster fight, caged animals and pigs screaming in their tiny slot well this tour is for you. Overpriced to top it all

This tour was the highlight of our two week trip to Ubud. Our host, Winnia, was full of smiles and personality, knowledge and hospitality. What we loved most about this tour, in addition to the host, was the diversity of experiences in just one tour - really good value! In the morning we visited a coffee & fruit plantation and then a stunning restaurant for buffet breakfast overlooking My Batur volcano. After this we organised the bikes and proceeded with the mostly downhill tour through village streets, with stops at a traditional compound home, temple, amazing mountain-top complete with fresh coconut waters, sacred Banyan tree, spider holding ( I opted out of this activity!!) and rice paddy fields. The scenery was stunning and we learnt so many interesting things! Our fellow tour group members were friendly and we enjoyed eating lunch together at another beautiful restaurant with stunning views to finish off the tour. Although we didn't bike as much as we expected so it was quite 'easy' in that respect, this was an awesome tour that we would highly recommend.

As over 70s we were informed that the company's insurance did not cover us, but the attention to safety by Hendra, our guide meant that we felt totally safe throughout. Due to Corona virus reducing the number of tourists there were only 4 in our group and we had a young man at the back as well as Hendra leading.

We had read it was a "mainly downhill" ride, - there certainly was more eating and drinking than pedalling, but it was so much more than a bike ride. We visited a coffee, cacao and fruit producer with tasting of numerous teas, coffees and chocolate. We passed on tasting the civet coffee! Then on to a buffet breakfast with wonderful views of Mount Batur and the lake. After selecting our bikes we went along quiet tarmac lanes giving us a chance to get used to them, stopping at a farm, then an attractive place for coconut water where Hendra showed us how to make a spoon from the outside of the coconut to eat the inside. Then through rice fields, off road now, stopping at a village house where we were given tea and coffee and shown inside the family home. Hendra explained so much about Balinese home life, culture, beliefs, religion and rituals around birth, marriage and death which was really interesting and he answered all our questions in his excellent English. We finished at an eco resort with a pool and and beautiful garden where we were served a 3 course late lunch and allowed to relax before being taken back to our hotels. If you want to experience a taste of less touristy Bali I recommend this tour.

Wow, what an amazing experience. Our driver and guide Degus were SO lovely, professional, friendly, informative, funny and helpful. An educational and beautiful day! We met some amazing locals (coffee plantation, honey farm and a locals home). Everyone was so warm and welcoming, it all felt very authentic. We learnt so much, the views are top notch, all the food was amazing - all dietary requirements were catered for. Water was provided & no plastic water bottles - great! I highly recommend for a group of nature/outdoor activity loving friends/family

Had a wonderful private tour, highly recommended. great service, where staff (Hendra) was absolutely warm and welcoming. him and the driver were super approachable and lovely to talk to. The tour was very reliable, doing pickup and drop off for us, and Hendra and the driver made us feel safe and well taken care off, especially while we were cycling. They had a vehicle on stand by in case anything were to happen as well, and Hendra had a local indonesian boy following the cycling group from behind, just to make sure no one gets left behind. You can be rest assured that they will keep your safety as maximum priority. The bikes we rode were also relatively well-maintained and not spoilt or rusty. While they might not be the newest bikes, they worked perfectly fine for the trail conditions we were riding through. The trail conditions: mostly road, 80% of the tour, but there were some off road paths when they cycled through the rice paddies, that can be a bit challenging if you are not experienced in mountain biking/fit. Hendra was also well-informed of balinese culture and heritage, filling us up with so much information of every single place we visited. He definitely did more than what we expected a tour guide to do. He was an absolute mood-lifter for us, and made our trip to bali a 10/10. As for the tour itself, we went to a local plantation to try out the Luwak Coffee, which is ideal if you are looking to contribute to the local economy and buy straight from the locals. We then went for a nice buffet breakfast (don't expect too much though, the food does not have such wide variety, but it was still nice), and the selling point was definitely the view of Mount Agung from the restaurant, which beats everything else. We were then brought to trails off the beaten path, where there were NO TOURISTS except for us, and we could see how the locals truly live, which is a rare experience in Bali. It was a truly tranquil and peaceful experience, and I am so happy to learn more about the Balinese culture and meet the friendly and welcoming locals. For lunch, we were brought to a beautiful lunch place in the middle of the rice paddies, which was part of a eco village for tourists to stay. The views were simply stunning. thank you for introducing us to your culture, and for such a great service. we will definitely be back to try out the same tour/other tours :) Would really recommend checking this tour out.

Loved everything about this tour. The coffee, garden and tasting stop off. The beautiful lunch overlooking amazing scenery. All this before setting off to cycle through villages . This tour couldn't have offered anymore. The guide was generous , friendly and in all way perfect.
Highly recommend for all ages. Not difficult to do even if you are not a practiced cyclist.
Beauty serenity, delicious food and more.

Breakfast at Amora restaurant was stunning- overlooking Mount Batua. Unfortunately bikes were not great quality. Womens bike had no tread on back tyre and one of the mens saddles sheared off half way round. We didnt feel we stopped enough and the stops we did make werent that interesting. In saying that, our guide Hendrick was a really nicw guy, great english and did his best to inform us along the way.
We decided to stop half way through as we were sore and tired. Lunch stop was great -lovely pool and great lunch.
