Amazing Bike Tour – Even in the Rain! We had an incredible time on this bike tour! Since it was the low season, it ended up being just the two of us, which made it feel like a private, personalized experience. Even though it was raining a LOT, we still had a blast. Biking through the rice fields was beautiful, and the rain actually added to the atmosphere. We also loved stopping to try the local tofu and other snacks along the way—everything was delicious. If you're looking for a fun and authentic way to see the area, we really recommend this tour!

Prambanan bike tour

Frederik_D, Aug 2025

It was a great experience! We did a bike tour along several authentic places around Prambanan, including a small temple. We discovered local agriculture and production of food. Afterwards, our host was willing to drive us to Prambanan.

The Best Way to Experience Yogya!

Ariana_R, May 2025

The experience was incredible! Our host was warm, welcoming, and spoke excellent English. We were greeted with cold water and snacks, and the bikes were in great condition. Our tour guide was fun and friendly—we loved spending time with her. The ride took us through stunning rice paddies and offered immersive cultural experiences like traditional snack-making, tofu-making, and visiting a local beekeeper. We also explored beautiful Buddhist and Hindu temples and learned about their rich history. It was an amazing value, we felt safe the entire time, and it was a truly beautiful way to experience the country. Highly recommended!

An amazing cultural experience!

Myself and two friends from Australia recently participated in this tour. Our tour guide was fantastic and we had so much fun cycling around the local village. Also being able to learn how to make the local foods and play the local musical instruments was a very rewarding experience. I would recommend this tour to anyone wishing to get to know Jogja better.

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Experience a Slice of Java on a Bike

I booked the Plaosan Bike Tour the night before and soon got confirmation along with a WhatsApp number so I could chat with the organizer, which turned out to be a blessing. First thing in the morning I took Grab to get from Yogya to what I thought was the starting point only to find out that I’d missed a message describing the exact place. When I called they said, stay where you are we’ll come and pick you up. Good service. The tour revolves around an easy cycle on traditional Indonesian bicycles to each of the venues. They even provide traditional local Javanese clothing that one is encouraged to wear. I decided to try the clothes and it indeed added to the ambience of the whole experience. Off we went in a long line like a herd of bicycle riding ducks around various back streets until we reached our first stop. A little old lady emerged from her house in the village to greet us. She then explained the process of making one of Indonesia’s iconic foods, tempeh. A sheet of banana leaf, a handful of ingredients, a fold or two, twist and tie then it’s your turn. After a few attempts you’ve got it down and off you go with your prize and a sample she’s made. She explained that after 2 days your tempeh will have finished the fermentation and will be ready to cook and eat. That’s when you’ll open and compare your attempt to the master’s. From there we rode on to the next stop at the Plaosan temple. Here we got a brief history of the early temple building craze of the 9th and 10th centuries along with a chance to tour these magnificent structures. You’ll find out that this particular temple complex is intended for those seeking their life partner. Your results my vary. Next was my favourite. I love “umping” which are nut crackers somewhat resembling the puffy shrimp crackers that you find everywhere in Indonesia. The young women at the next stop showed us how she roasts,husks and pounds these into the final product. I had to give it a try but after only a few minutes the heavy maul she swings so effortlessly felt like a ton and I had renewed respect for her trade. The final stop, gamelan music lessons, were the hardest for me although probably very easy for anyone who has even the least musical talent. Amazingly, after 10 minutes or so 6-8 of us were adequately in sync as to sound reasonably OK. Hats off to our patient instructor. Then back on the bikes, and back to the starting point to taste a variety of local snacks. The whole 2 ½ hour experience was well worth it and quite educational. They’ve obviously honed the tour so that it works well for even larger groups. Expect to learn something and experience aspects of local life you might otherwise never see.

Thanks sir for joining our cycling trip. welcome back anytime in the future, we will add more experiences on it.

Top ervaring!

Sam_P, Aug 2024

De gids had leuke activiteiten in de regio die allemaal goed te doen waren op de fiets. Je maakt echt kennis met de lokale bevolking en het gebied voelt erg traditioneel met de mooie natuur en rijstvelden eromheen. De gids wist erg veel te delen over de geschiedenis en zijn dorp wat het echt een topervaring maakte.

Sport culture nature

Après avoir visité le temple, avons parcouru la campagne, c’était magnifique et nous avons découvert un homme qui faisait son miel. Une femme qui faisait des chips, la fabrication du tofu, tout ça dans une ambiance très sympathique.
