  Our Gorgeous Costumers talk about Us 
 ===============================
     

 I would like to share our cycling trip experiences to all of "Bali Cycling and Adventure Tour" customers.

 We could not have biked through Bali with a better guide.  Wayan Lia was knowledgeable, prepared, flexible - and always prepared with a smile of encouragement for those rice terrace climbs.  We rode, ate, drank, relaxed and slept extremely well on our week-long well-documented trip. I can't wait to come back for more!"

Wayan Lia is the best bicycling tour guide! I had a blast in October seeing parts of Bali that most tourists would never get to see. From temples and palaces to waterfalls and batcaves, it was one of the most unique and exciting trips I've ever been on. Wayan Lia is very knowledgable about the island and its history. Wonderful trip!

Dear Wayan Lia:

Please use our comments on your website.  We traveled to Bali for the Bali Paradise bike ride in September 2012.  The pertinent positives are as follows:

1. Wayan Lia was an excellent host and tour guide.  The one comment we all made at some point along the trip was that Wayan Lia never told us "No," or "We can't do that," or "That isn't possible."  Every request was met with Wayan's best effort to acommodate us.  Whether it was switching a room, substituting a dinner, leaving early, sleeping in, etc, Wayan Lia bent over backwards to make our trip spectacular.


2. The lodging was magnificent in almost every city.  The rooms were top notch.  There were beautiful pools and beaches as well and great views of the ocean or city.  The furnishings were very nice.

3. The food was a little spicy, but this should come as no surprise if you are visiting Bali.  For those who did have dietary restricitons, allergies, or more basic tastes, Wayan Lia always made arrangements to have the best possible meal provided.

4. There were beautiful stops all through the island.  I found Wayan Lia to be very knowledgeable and cordial with the locals.  He served as our intermediary numerous times for advice, bargaining during shopping, and with ordering food and drinks.

5. There were some areas with heavy traffic.  Wayan Lia made sure that as cyclists we were protected.  We also always had the option to ride in the van if we were fatigued.

Overall, I would recommend Wayan Lia's services without hesitation.  He and his crew did an excellent job during our Bali Bike Trip.

Sincerely,

Daniel and Jennifer Kueter

Our Bali Bicycling tour with Wayan Lia in OCT 2011 was by far the most gorgeous and well supported bicycle trip we have ever done.  Rebecca and I have been on many tours worldwide.  Bali is gorgeous with Mountains, forests, beachs and rice patties of world renown.  The people are delightfully welcoming and Wayan's in-depth local knowledge and continuous, unparalled support made this trip fabulous.  The rides were well planned and suitable for all riders with the ability to hammer, add-on or sit back in the airconditioned vehicle and munch on fresh fruit when the hills were too steep.  Riding is always good, but when interspersed with temple visits, waterfall hikes and monkey forest forays it becomes an adventure in paradise.  Then there were the luscious 3-4 star lodgings,  scrumptious meals and time to shop and frolic on the beach.  This was once in a lifetime tour in paradise.

My cycling trip through Bali with Wayan was terrific!  We looped through busy streets and quiet residential areas that treated bicycle riders as respectfully as fellow motorbike drivers. We cruised through quiet pastoral rice fields, past a volcanic caldera, and down a beautiful winding road through the heart of Bali. We stopped at multiple landmarks throughout the ride and Wayan anticipated and prepared for every need.  He was friendly, thoughtful, and thoroughly knowledgeable of the culture and countryside. In addition, he was generous with advice or ideas for further exploration throughout his country and went out of his way to accommodate every request.  I would definitely take another trip with Wayan as the guide!

 "Our Balinese bicycle tour led by Wayan Lia was among the most well organized and enjoyable international bicycling my wife and I have ever done.  Wayan and his team were always professional, kind, and supportive of all of our travel related needs.  Wayan and his team were wonderful advisors who were able to educate us on the history and culture of the Balinese people.

Among the great surprises was his ability to locate restaurants and cycling snacks that accommodated our plant-strong lifestyle.  As riders of Bike Friday folding travel bikes we can also assure you that Wayan is truly "Bike Friday friendly" and should be considered as such by others thinking about bringing their own bikes to Bali.

I highly recommend Wayan Lia and his team as your guide for your next Balinese adventure!"
