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
