Experience - Not only cycling, we get to learn about the culture and more knowledge. The people helping us are very kind. Aside from knowledge and cycling, we also did activities. One of it being pottery.

Amazing Tour - If you’re looking for a cycling adventure off the beaten path, this is the right place! I enjoyed the city tour so much. Even though I’m not a tourist and I live in Jogja, I learned so many new things and discovered places in the city that I’ve never seen before. The guides are highly knowledgeable and fun to talk with. I can wholeheartedly recommend tours with Moana - I’m sure it will be a highlight of your stay in Jogja!

Exciting Cycling in Kota Gede - Very interesting experience! This is the second tour I tried with a different place. This time cycling in small alleys, stopping at springs, markets and many other fun places. Even though it was raining, the tour was still fun. Ah yes, try some traditional food too!! Getting to know the Islamic Mataram kingdom is also included in the tour, so insightful. Thanks Moana!! 💛
