5Worth your sweat 🤪✌🏻
I really enjoyed the trip so much! It was a great achievement for us to cycle for 7 km. The fee is reasonable because our tour guide, Alfat, really explain throughly. He even willing to stop and explain more when I asked.

4Kota Gede Tour
There was a good number of stops. The route was easy to cycle and the bike was very good quality, the guide went slowly and was easy to follow. The market was very interesting, it would have been good to spend more time there and try more food. The village between two gates was lovely. I also loved the roti kembang shop and its story
5Best thing we did in Yogya!
Kotagede Cycling Tour with MOANA was one of our favorite experiences on our entire trip to Indonesia! Alfat was an excellent guide; he navigated us expertly through the streets and back alleys of Yogya and made great stops, covering history, architecture, food, botany. We can’t recommend Alfat and a MOANA bike tour enough — best way to see Yogyakarta!
5Winding through the streets of Jogja~
Had a wonderful morning with Moana! If you want to learn more about the rich history and culture of Kotagede, this is definitely the experience you should try! We visited local markets and businesses as well as the people who have made Jogja the city it is today. Such an enlightening experience and a fun one too!!!
