The bike tour was great. The mountain bikes are in good condition and the helmets also fit. First you drive to the city center, at various stops Delilah (our guide) tells us a lot about the history of Kuching. There are also local delicacies such as Laksa and Kolo Mee, and coffee/drinks. You then drive to the neighboring villages, visit the market and finally take a small, traditional ferry boat back to the starting point. Highly recommended bike tour to discover Kuching. Delilah had a lot to tell and was happy to give further tips for the best experiences in Kuching.

Our guide Kelvin was great. We had an unforgettable day, full of great sights and culinary samples. Kelvin was able to tell us a lot about Borneo and also speaks perfect English. Doing the tour with the bikes was a special highlight. The bikes were in good condition and so were the helmets. He made a lot of effort to guide us safely through the busy Kuching traffic. The tour is also suitable for children who can ride their bikes safely in traffic. A great day to see Kuching from a very special side.

We had a really lovely day in the national park. Our guide Alvin picked us up from the hotel on time. Everything was very well organised. Thanks to our experienced guide, we had the opportunity to see all the animals we wanted to see. The lunch was delicious and there was something for every taste. The guide speaks excellent English and was able to explain a lot to us. A great day and a must in Kuching.
