Very complete tour of Kuching - we loved it! We stopped at numerous sites and learned historical information, enjoyed a delicious typical breakfast and coffee, rode through much of the Malay villages, and sampled on many exotic fruits at the local market. Loved returning to our starting point via water taxi! Our guide Ayra was very knowledgeable and friendly - great with our two children. Highly recommend!

Ayra was our guide, so knowledgeable and friendly. I am not the most confident cyclist but felt extremely safe with Ayra. This is a must do tour if visiting Kuching. You get to sample local food- Kola Mee was fabulous. Cycled past areas you would not normally visit and great to get to know about the history of Sarawak and Kuching. Well worth the money and highly recommended
