Thank you Moana, Thank you Mas Zul - Cool new experience. Enjoy Jogja in a different way.
Bike ok, landscape ok, road captain ok, service ok. Everything is OK anyway!
Thank you very much, Mas Zul (Our Road Captain) who is very humble, the history explanation is good, clear and detailed. Hopefully we can come back here later, thanks Moana!

Beautiful nature & lovely ride - The bicycle tour was amazing! The nature is so beautiful and the contact with the locals was lovely. There were almost no people on the road which made it such a calm ride. We were with a total of 4 people and our guide Alfat was the best! He even took lots of pictures and videos of us. This was our favorite activity in Yogyakarta. Would definitely recommend this tour :)

Fun Refreshing Experience! - We chose the smart cycling tour and the experience met our expectation. The view was breathtaking and the road captain, Kak Zul was so accommodating. He was so good with the kids. Kids were told about many kinds of animals live in the rice field in a fun way and we visited the house of locals to feed the cows and tasted the traditional snacks and jamu. Whenever my firstborn looks tired, he asked us to stop for a break. I took the add-on photographer service to, and the result was really nice.
I am planning to take the tour again when I visit Jogja next time, thank you Moana!

Nice trip 🫰🏻 - The most worthwhile cycling tour in Jogja. Mas Yulvian as a road captain was informative and kind. The nanggulan route was so beautiful, yet they provided us with information that not everyone would know. It’s more than just cycling, but also empowers locals. Oh and also we try to make tempeh from scratch 😁They also kindly stopped if we wanted to take pictures or make short videos. Going to come back for another route and trip of course 🤗

Experience fun cycling at Nanggulan - Cycling in Nanggulan is fun while reminiscing about childhood and being pampered with beautiful views. Sis Vian as the tour captain is very friendly and really knows about the origins of many things in Nanggulan. Plus the exciting Javanese Honocoroko letter games!
Thank you Moana.
