We recommend bringing a water bottle, sunscreen, comfortable shoes for biking and trekking, and appropriate clothes for the weather. If you plan to use the shower facilities after the tour, please bring your own towel and a change of clothes.

What happens if it rains on the day of the tour?

If there's a forecasted 40% or more chance of rain, or if the weather turns bad suddenly, we may change the tour to a cab-guided tour. In case of light rain, the tour may still be conducted with the use of rental rain gear.

What type of bicycles are used for this tour?

For this tour, we provide high-performance electric bicycles. These e-bikes are not only fun and easy to ride, but they are also designed to handle the varied terrains of our countryside trails effectively. Before the tour begins, our guides will ensure you are comfortable with operating these e-bikes.

Is lunch provided during the tour?

Yes, a lunch break is incorporated into our tour schedule. We have planned a delightful meal for you at a unique local restaurant, renovated from an abandoned school. This dining experience promises not just great food, but also a peek into the local culture and history.
