Temples And Bike Tours In The Village

We booked the Alga Lova Bike tour in the morning and did the trip to Prambanan and Borobudur temple at the end of the morning/in the afternoon. It was a full-day trip and it was really amazing. We had a great time and had a very comfortable experience. The bike tour was very authentic, and we were with only 6. Our driver, Aguz, was also really great and arranged everything for us, from lunch and drinks to bringing us to the right temple entrance and the right guide. We would definitely recommend!

A wonderful day with a bike ride and the temples. I would recommend this tour to everybody.

Busy full packed day with a nice bike ride in the morning visiting local bee keeper and tofu factory, Prambanan temple and Borobudur Temple. They provide a friendly driver to pick you up and drive you everywhere. Perfect if you only have a short time in Yogyakarta and want to see both temples and explore the local culture.

Bike tour around prambanan village was amazing, rode around the village meeting really friendly people while learning about the rice fields and traditional food making processes.

Our guide for the cycling tour was amazing. Loved the whole tour, temples, rice fields and tofu factory. Book this as is very good

This tour was an amazing experience! It offered a perfect mix of cultural exploration, local insights, and a refreshing bike ride through the village. The guide was exceptional knowledgeable, engaging, and adaptable to our pace and interests. Every explanation was clear and made the experience even more meaningful. The driver was also great punctual, polite, and ensured a smooth and comfortable journey. Overall, this tour is highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy history, nature in a well organized and unforgettable way!

We had a very good day. Happy with Alga as organizer and excellent tourguide. The bike tour is very nice and let you meet the locals. This tour wil contribute to the local community and als invest in teaching the local children to learn better English. Also very happy with Aguz as a driver. Both of you with very good service! I will recommend!!

Such a wonderful day exploring Yogya with our family! We did Mr Alga’s village cycling tour with visits to Prambanan temple and Borobudur. Mr Munir was our driver and he was so helpful and made our family very comfortable. His car was clean and very comfortable. He was on time and eager to make sure we had everything we needed. His local knowledge of the Yoygya area as well as stories about each town’s crafts, history and culture made it really interesting. Mr Munir helped our family when we got to Borobudur by assisting us with tickets and getting shoes etc which made our visit much smoother. The first thing we did was a bicycle tour of Mr Alva’s village in Prambanan. The bikes were in good condition and Mr Alga ensured the sizes were correct for our children who are very tall. We cycled around the beautiful rice fields and through the village visiting a traditional cracker maker, a tofu maker, and a stingless bee apiary. Mr Alga explained each craft and helped us to learn about each tradition. We got to try making crackers and even tried stingless bee honey which was delicious. Mr Alga had water for each of us in the bike baskets and ensured the roads were safe by having a staff member ride ahead of our bikes on motorcycle. We visited a local temple and Mr Alga explained a lot about the history, mythology, and symbolism of the temple for local people. Mr Alga’s tour is a perfect example of sustainable tourism - he supports local makers and businesses which helps to maintain and celebrate traditional crafts and encourage young people to stay in their village and build a successful business whilst supporting the local economy. Prambanan and Borobudur temples are true wonders of the ancient world. Don’t miss them! It was a long day by the time we got back but we all enjoyed our time and felt very happy that we went with Mr Alga and Mr Munir. Highly recommended!!!

My brother and I really enjoyed the whole experience. Alga was very accommodating and suggested the best way to tour around Borobudur and Prambanan temples with the bike tour in between. Our driver throughout the trip, Jack, was very hospitable and even brought us to some other temples near the area. Aside from our actual tour of Prambanan and Borobudur, the bike tour around villages was a great way to learn about some of the local industries and a peek into the daily lives of families working in the local industries. The biker tour guide ( sorry I forgot the name :( ) shared stories about the history of these local industries and how Alga Tours helps by partnering with them. Overall, this tour really made our stay in Yogyakarta very memorable. Sharing some tips: - I did some research and eventually came across Alga Tours website which includes a WhatsApp contact option. I directly talked with Alga via WhatsApp ahead of our trip and finalized the tour. I think directly talking to the tour provider (I did since it is vetted in TripAdvisor through reviews) can end up with some savings instead of booking via online platforms. Note, this might be a case to case basis so better do some research. - If you prefer to avoid the intense heat, I suggest you visit Borobudur during sunset (book the last timeslot at 15:30). - The bike tour is best done in the early morning while the sun has not fully risen yet.

We booked the cycling tour and parmabanan temple visit with the tour guide. The cycle tour through the village and rice fields was really nice and we visited many things on the way, such as nut chips making, tofu factory, bee keeper and a temple. The guide picked us up in yogja and drove us to the village and Prambanan. Punctual and friendly. These two activities are good to combine from yogja for a day out.

Thank you for such a great tour! We loved cycling around, seeing all the rice paddies and going to the tofu factory and temples in particular. Thanks for being so flexible and accommodating :) would really recommend to anyone wanting to see a different side of Yogya!

This was absolutely incredible. I was blown away by the professionalism, dedication and enthusiasm. Seeing such a beautiful part of Indonesia with such a knowledgeable and passionate crew made my wife and I really feel a part of the community. There is no way I could imagine being able to recommend this enough.

Awesome day organised by Alga. Everything went smoothly from our intial WhatsApp conversation to the actual trip itself. The highlight of the trip was the bicycle tour around the villages in the Prambanan area where we got to catch a glimpse of local life - making emping crackers, making tofu as well as tasting honey from a stingless bee hive. Would recommend!

Alga customized the 3 day itenary many times over as our itenary changed We were family if 5 and 4 friends - out of this 5 teenagers Alga covered all points beautifully, sunrise, borbudur, Prambanan , Ramayana show, biking fir kids and shopping for the ladies Alga booked all our tours by himself and charged when we arrived When our flight got moved by a day he called the hotel and rearranged the entire trip Completely trust worthy and came with us everywhere Bone tour was lot of fun and the boy’s experienced local culture Drivers Augus and Jacky were so kind and patient with us Cannot recommend them enough

Bike tour is one of our memories intake from Yogyakarta! At the begging I was not sure if it was the typical touristic attraction. However, this exceeded our expectations and definitely it is one of the best activity options we could have chosen! Alga rode us through the town, where we could met people and stop in their houses to understand what they do and how they live. Believe me, it changed our mind and brought us to the real local life, where we understood their culture and works. This activity should be a must for all tourists visiting the area!!! Thanks Alga for such an amazing experience. We are looking forward to visiting you again!

We planned a 3 days Jogja tours, from planning and all entrance tickets handled by Algalove. He done a wonderful job without any issues. His driver Aji need to mention here very helpful and friendly. Car which have very comfortable clean and neat. This temple tours, caves, beaches, merapi all well planned and executed by the company. Next time when visiting again jogja will book from alga.

I really enjoyed this tour, Alga is an excellent tour guide with in-depth knowledge of the local area. We got got visit some local villages and meet local people which was very enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed getting a chance to make tempe (my favourite!), emping and tofu. The tour around the temples was really interesting and I loved learning to play some traditional Javanese instruments. I would recommend this tour to anyone thinking of visiting this area.

Unique experience! Luckily we happened upon this option as I was looking for an alternative way to the usual tours of the temple complex in Yogyakarta and it couldn’t get any better! The bike ride with the various stages in the activities of the village is AUTHENTIC, not at all crowded and all the people we interacted with were extremely friendly and kind! This experience is a real hidden gem. Don’t miss it really...Thank you Algalova for accompanying us and the passion in what you do! 🙏🏻

We did the temple tour with Algalova Tours and loved it! The bike ride adds something special to the visit of the two temples usually offered. Excellent organization, really recommended!

We did a bike ride through the rice fields with Alga Lova Tours and then visited the Prambanan and did the Borobadur next day with a private driver. Contact was very easy via whatsapp and super nice guides, were even sent a video of the day. Highly recommended

The cycling is really fantastic, everything is well arranged and you also support the heritage of Indonesia!👌 Nice driver Joko, who really wanted to make us feel at home. Wonderfully relaxed, all the rules are taken out of your hands👌

This tour is so fun and full of memories! Beautiful views, exciting activities, and a professional team make this journey even more exciting. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a holiday without ribs and different from others

The service is friendly, and clear in the delivery of every place visited, the guide is also good, Success is always ;')

Very happy to have made with Alga and its drivers the excursion in Yogyakarta. We visited the two temples in addition to some local tour manufacturing, honey... Vida rural en Yogy. We liked it.

Top! You can go there with your eyes closed, you will not be disappointed! People with incredible kindness, who know how to respond to your requests with impressive responsiveness!
