Enjoy a Scenic Bike Ride Through Tembi Village in Yogyakarta

Good guide, excellent English with good knowledge. Beautiful scenery through the rice fields and villages. Flat ride, good bikes and safety conscious. If you can ride a bike you will enjoy it.

What an amazing way to spend a few hours in rural Yogyakarta. Thank you for a truly beautiful morning. A peaceful, easy, gentle ride through rice paddies and local villages, meeting friendly locals and trying local coffee and snacks. We really enjoyed the stop at the local market. Expertly led by our guide, two others also came along to ensure we could safely cross the roads (mostly quiet rural lanes with just a few roads to cross). We would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone looking to explore local life in Yogya, it felt like a real privilege to experience it - thank you.

Great experience all round. We were lucky with the weather and our guides really made it so much fun. We had the opportunity to experience the countryside, the friendly town people, the rice making process, batik art close up and the morning market. We had support crossing bigger roads and navigating any bicycle challenges and it was a great family trip with teens.

Great cycling tour in the local villages!

We set off at 7am and came back at the meeting point at 9am. I felt really safe and well taken care of, and I thoroughly enjoyed the scenic paddy fields (rice, corn, chilli and lemongrass plantations). Hanung brought me to different farms/plantations, took many photos and even created 2 videos! 

Thank you Hanung for the tour!

Absolutely lovely cycling tour around the village!
 Harung and his team took such good care of us throughout the ride. They were not only friendly and professional but also incredibly calm and chill, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. They even helped us take some great photos and videos along the way!
 We really appreciated how they went out of their way to show us the best parts of the village — the views were absolutely breathtaking, and the entire experience was so much fun.
 Highly recommended to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable tour!

Great staff, very flexible, and relaxed atmosphere. We had great fun with both the cycling tour and batik workshop.
