Yogyakarta Plaosan Temple Half-Day Private Cycling Tour

Ich finde, der Candi Plaosan sollte unbedingt in die Tour aufgenommen werden. Man hat mehr als genug Zeit, diesen kleinen, schönen Tempel ohne Anstehen zu besuchen. Er vermittelt gleich zu Beginn einen guten Eindruck davon, wie Prambanan später wirkt – ideal als Einstieg in die Tempelgeschichte. Der Transfer war pünktlich und sehr professionell; meine Reiseleiterin war äusserst flexibel und ist auf meine Wünsche eingegangen. Wer beim Velofahren etwas sensibel ist, sollte ein zusätzliches Sattelkissen verlangen. Auch bei Regen war die Tour sehr stimmungsvoll. Macht man sie nachmittags, kann man anschliessend im Restaurant nachtessen, in dem die Tour auch startet – wunderschön gelegen mitten in den Reisfeldern. Insgesamt eine wunderbare Möglichkeit, dem Verkehr und Lärm von Yogya zu entkommen. Die Begegnungen in den Dörfern waren ein Highlight: viel Herzlichkeit und viele geschenkte Lächeln. Klare Empfehlung.

Our guide, Ibu Neng, is friendliest n knowledgeable. she share with Us on how the process of grains to rice, bringing Is to Toafu maker, Angklung workshop, Gamelan house and lastly to her house. this village activities is exciting n educational. a worth to give it a try everyone 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This is the perfect get away when the hustle and bustle of Jogja is too much. Ning, Joko and Tanti took excellent care of us and we always felt 100% safe even when we had to cross busy roads. The peaceful and easy ride took us past picturesque rice paddies, village communities and temples. What made it special was the genuine smiles and greetings when we passed Tanti’s neighbours. We also learnt how to make belinjau crackers and play the angklung and gamelan as well as buy the items direct from the makers and artisans.Tanti and Joko also brought us to their home where we partook in real Javanese hospitality. The hours flew by and we ended the day with lunch at the restaurant by the paddy fields. I definitely recommend this tour as you’ll see and experience a slice of authentic Javanese life.

Long overdue feedback! Triningsih was so well informed and answered our questions well. Well conversed in english as well. Love the route and pitstops.

It was a wonderful experience. The village was beautiful. Before the cycling tour, the staff served me tea and local snacks. During the ride, we stopped by a local public building that featured traditional instruments, as well as rice fields, a tofu factory, and a local snack factory. The staff kindly explained the local culture to me. I highly recommend it as a great way to experience the local culture and everyday life up close.

I think this was my favourite tour in Yogya. Ning is a kind and warm local host who will bring you around her town near Prambanan. it was nice to get to experience all the local stuff, tofu making, angklong playing. much more convenient to explore via bike than to take a grab or walk. 💯👍 recommend!

Triningsih was our guide and her service was amazing. She brought us to so many places where it is include and outside of the itinerary of the tour! It is clear that she has a direct connection with the local community where the pedestrian would greet her all the time throughout the tour. She also lives in the neighborhood where she showed us her home. Given it is a private tour, we also get to know more about her personal story. It is a pleasure to do a private tour with her.

We had a really fun day with Ning, our guide, and her husband. Ning rode a bicycle with us while her husband rode a motorcycle behind us. Her husband is the photographer and also the man in charge for the security on the road. He stopped the traffic when we had to cross an intersection and so on. We feel really safe on the road. Ning speaks really good english and explained everything with patience. All the places we visited were fun and informative. We had fun drinking coconut water and fried tofu during the breaktime while also enjoying learning how to play angklung. We recommend this half day tour for those who wants to go somewhere out of touristic place. You will be visiting rice fields, villages, local houses for tofu and tempe production. You will be interacting with locals. The sun is harsh so dont forget to put on your sunscreen lotion!

非常推荐这个行程安排，特别是会骑车的小伙伴。我们的向导Ning 英语说得特别好，也很懂当地和村庄的生活，甚至比我们在普南巴南里偶尔听到的别的旅行团的向导讲得都好。沿路的plaosan 庙一定要进去看一看，和在普南巴南看到的都不一样，而且人特别少。Ning还很懂音乐、庄稼，和当地村民关系也很密切，这可能和她也住在村子里有关系。她自己做的Apem、Bakpia 也非常好吃。我们沿路碰到的村民也十分质朴和友善。特别棒的一次旅行，推荐所有到日惹的朋友去感受一下远离城市喧嚣的田园生活有多惬意

The village tour was wonderful. As we could not cycle, we were provided the option of Andong (horse carriage) by Noor. Febri picked us and dropped us off at the hotel and Ning was the guide for our tour. We had a wonderful time with her, learning about different crops, the cultivation seasons, processes and time. We visited a family preparing emping chips from belinjo seeds. We had a newfound appreciation for how food arrived at our table. We then visited an Anklung maker and also tried gamelan. Ning is good at music and has a beautiful voice. It was lovely playing a traditional piece together with her. The trip ended in Ning's home where her husband Joko welcomed us with a tasty selection of local snacks and tea/coffee. Ning is such a wonderful host, she made sure each of us were comfortable during the tour and told us the story of Roro Jonggrang as we passed by the Sewu temple. She speaks great English, Cantonese as well as Mandarin. Do not miss this wonderful village tour with your family when you are here in Yogya! :)
