2nd Time doing this tour - This is a great tour that lets you see the best part of Bali - the part with no tourists. Even though it was raining for most of this tour, Kadek our guide never lost his positivity, kept our safety his top priority and was supported by a team who were always on hand to assist with traffic. Although the ride is long at 1 1/2-2hours, it is almost entirely down hill and takes you through some of the most picturesque settings that make you feel like you’re the first to see it. It’s the 2nd time I’ve done a tour like this and would happily do it again.

Incredible countryside/Ubud bike riding experience - This easy downhill riding tour with our guide Ikarak and team was amazing! The tour was so well planned and organised, even the rain was not an issue! Lovely people, interesting and informative guide and lovely food and coffe to top it up! The experience of riding down the backstreets of Ubud and surrounding countryside was like a dream that one doesn’t want to wake up from. Our kids found this also easy (10 & 13) - the roads are downhill so that it’s not really a workout, more like drifting while sitting down. Very grateful, highly recommend it.

We love you guys. 🙂 - These guys are fabulous. I learnt so much from them and they were patient and kind and extremely respectful. The tour was fabulous, food was great, ride was hot but easy. They ensured our safety all the way and gave us time to look at things and learn about their culture on the way. Lovely greeting from the family compound we visited and amazing, funny children. Thank you so much for taking us on your tour. We loved it so much. Suksma Matur. 🙂

Best bike experience - There were 3 of us that did this ride.. Two over 70's and mid 60's. We were picked up at our hotel in Nusa Dua at a time that we negotiated. ie a little later. There was only one stop to pick up another couple in Ubud. We then went to choose our bikes. The bikes were all in good condition, but could do with more air in the tyres. I suggest if you plan to do this when at home bring cycle pants with you to were and cushion you on the seat. Once we had our bikes we took of downhill. The two guides were great and very careful for our safety. It was so easy to ride downhill. First stop was at a place where the had swings out over the rice fields and a flying fox. Then Pukuh village at a Traditional Balinese home. The family welcomed us and we learnt a lot about family traditions from the Guide Kadek. Then on the bikes downhill to a Village Temple. After the temple it was downhill to the rice fields. It was fabulous riding through a village, with the local kids putting out their hands for hi 5 and the people saying hello, as we biked past. After the rice fields I decided to end my bike ride due to bruised tail bone from cycling in Sanur the days before. I was picked up by the bus and taken to the Waring for late lunch. The others arrived about 20 mins later and said I got of at the right time as it was uphill for the next part. There was also our friend who couldn't ride a bike so she came for the ride and stayed with the driver and still enjoyed the scenery. We had done Electric bikes prior to COVID and both of us said this one was the best. Definitely recommend it. All 3 of us said later it was the high lite of our trip. Thanks Kadek and your family.

Adventurous and fun family connection cycle - Coffee tasting and jungle tour was so enlightening. The rice fields were beautiful and hearing about the harvest was eye-opening. Such excellent service and great connection effort made with our group which was a mix of teens to our 80 year old dad. Seeing how people lived was humbling and inspiring. Delicious meals. Highlight was the route - 85pc downhill and lovely views of nature and farms. Thank you 😊

The best way to get a glimpse of the real Bali. - I can highly recommend this tour! Kadek and his team are so professional, friendly and knowledgable. Their equipment is great and this is the perfect experience to get away from the touristy areas and get a glimpse at real Balinese life and their incredible culture. There were 12 of us and the trip was managed seamlessly but make sure you have a full day set aside if you are doing it from Bingin/ Uluwatu given the drive in and out and you not wanting to rush it. Definitely do this tour if you want to get a taste of real Bali.
