Was a great trip with friendly guides. Great day out
Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear you had a great trip and enjoyed spending the day with our friendly guides. We hope to welcome you again soon.
Both guide and driver grew up in local villages so were very knowledgable, explaining life in traditional villages and stopping off at a village school, village temple and family home as we made our way down. And on our way to the starting point to ride we stopped at a coffee plantation, tried a lot of coffees and teas made from all sorts of things and paid to try the civet coffee - you know - the civets eat the coffee fruit and poop out the coffee bean. Find the poop. Clean the bean, peel and roast. Delicious!
Thanks for sharing your experience! We're delighted you enjoyed learning about village life and sampling the local coffees. Hope to welcome you back soon!
My husband and I did this tour a few days ago & absolutely loved it- something unexpected but it’ll be the best tour of your trip! Definitely recommend to anyone
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and appreciate your recommendation. We hope the rest of your trip was just as memorable! 😊
Lovely day. Picked up from Sanur by expert driver and met up with wonderful guide. Rode through rice padis and villages waving to all the friendly locals. Stopped for a delicious lunch. Would highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind words! We're so pleased you enjoyed the scenic ride, the local village experience, and the lunch. We'll be sure to pass your compliments on to our driver and guide. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again soon! 😊
We had an absolutely incredible day on the electric biking tour around Ubud with Wayan and the team at Friends in Bali. From start to finish, everything was seamless and thoughtfully organised. The day began with an amazing ride through lush rice terraces and quiet local villages. The electric bikes made it effortless to take in the stunning scenery without worrying about the hills. Along the way, Wayan surprised us by capturing incredible drone photos and videos of us riding—such an unexpected and memorable touch. Being a private tour just for the two of us made the whole experience feel even more special and personal. After the ride, we were welcomed into Wayan’s family home where his parents graciously prepared and served a delicious spread of traditional Balinese cuisine. It was such a warm and authentic experience that really stood out. We then learned how to make traditional Balinese offerings with Wayan, which we got to create ourselves—an incredibly unique and meaningful insight into the local culture. Later in the day, we visited a coffee plantation around sunset, which was the perfect, relaxed way to round out the experience. The day finished with a smooth drop-off in Ubud centre, leaving us with unforgettable memories. Wayan was a fantastic guide throughout—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely fun to be around. He shared so much insight into local life while keeping everything relaxed and entertaining. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bali—it’s a must-do. Five stars all the way!
Thank you for your kind words! It was a pleasure sharing our culture and beautiful countryside with you. We hope to see you again on your next Bali adventure! 🚴♂️🌾
Excellent tour with Agus and Ari! Well organized, excellent communication with easy to understand English, all bikes in very good shape including new brakes ( important for all the downhill) with appropriate fitting for all in the group, men and women. Very interesting cultural stops with lots of accompanying information and discussions between downhill stretches of beautiful country and village scenery. Thank you for a very memorable day, fellows!
We had a great morning with friends in Bali with our guide Wayan. The whole organization including the care was top. A morning crossing the rice fields, the beautiful villages and full of surprises. Cycling in a quiet environment surrounded by nature. 90% downhill 🤩 I recommend asking Wayam as a guide. He speaks French very well and likes to talk about his region. I recommend 100%. Big crush for this beautiful experience thank you wayam. Marie Christine and Eric
We loved this trip and have recommended it so many times. Our whole family still talks about this tour!! They are great operators to deal with too.
Very good day, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Bikes and helmets excellent condition. would highly recommend
Amazing, well worth it. Having breakfast was nice, and ending on Lunch was also awesome (with a nice view). However the main highlights were the views of Mt Batur, and the refreshing breeze of cycling while biking through rice terraces and villages in Bali. Most of all though, our tour guide was a legend. Giving great insight and knowledge and being very group focused. Would highly recommend
