Art of Bicycle Trips Recenzje 

We had a great trip, biking from Kochi to Chennai. Our group of 3 made up of one avid young cyclist, and two elderly newbies. The avid biked ahead at twice the speed, so Ajesh, the van driver, followed/led her thru the daily course. Muthu - the guide- and the newbies followed later. Muthu helped shield the crazy Indian traffic from the newbies.

We all had a good time. We rode early into sunrises over beautiful countryside, sampled exotic fruits and local cuisine, stayed in historic mansions or local boutique hotels, smelled different Indian spices, visited old majestic temples, and took photo with many warm wishers from villages. There were not many foreign tourists back roads, so we were quite noticeable and welcome.

The traffic was just crazy and nerve-racking at times for us newbies coming from the US and riding on the right side of the road (not that it mattered), although Muthu did his best to shield us from the traffic, and re-route the route to less traveled rural roads. Experienced bikers might be more comfortable with traffic though. We would rate the trip higher otherwise.

Guide Muthu and driver Ajesh were great: friendly, helpful, professional, timely. We enjoyed their company.

Good trip, good choice in tour ( little roads without cars ) , very good guides ( queng Vietnam and at Cambodia)
Sometimes l have regreted e.bike !
Thanks

Perfect guides, great hotels, we loved it.

One little recommendation : if it is possible for you to adapt the restaurants/food to the clients it would be great... we would have preferred local food and less tourist food.

Apart from that, thank you for a great trip !

Had a fabulous time cycling through Vietnam and Cambodia. Phooc was an exception guide for the Vietnam leg and a shout out to the different community based guides in Cambodia in Phnom Phen and Angor Watt.
Yes, we'll be back!

The Kochi to Chennai ride is a true immersion in the sights, sounds, and smells of South India. It is suitable for adventurous riders. There’s some tough hills going through the Western Ghats (days 3 & 4), with rest of the ride through Tamil Nadu mostly flat. The guide and driver were friendly and attentive. The lodging and food are good. The historical sites visited, especially the ones in Mahabalipuram, are wonders.

Great trip! I enjoyed that the cycling was always in the first half of the day and the culture portion was in the latter part of the day. Our guide Kamal was very knowledgeable and the guides enlisted at each historical site gave us a thorough understanding of all we visited.
We really enjoyed cycling through the small villages and interacting with the locals.

The cycle route was excellent
The guide was great. Additional detail in planning to ensure information on and visits to local sites would assist.

Really accommodating booking team. Well organised. Tour was exactly what we hoped for. Well planned days & rests with good support vehicles allowing flexibility. Meal times showed us the whole range of eating options in Vietnam which was a great experience. There were a couple of communication failures along the way which were easily sorted. The local guides had individual styles and variable local knowledge but all were friendly & keen to help. Accommodation options were sometimes limited and ranged from truly amazing boutique places to somewhat bland chain hotels but all were clean, comfortable & well located. Only thing I would change would be an extra day in Da Lat and maybe one less on the central coast.

Four of us with multiple previous bike trips under our belt were very impressed by the professionalism, knowledge and commitment to the client provided by our guide. An Udaipur company with intelligent, highly educated (university degrees) guides and a good itinerary. Third world adventures will throw a few curves but good guiding companies can deal with them. Numerous brief shuttles during the 12 days bypassed the unsuitable biking portions of Rajasthan. Would highly recommend.

This was our first trip to India and we were a little worried about the cycling experience. As it turned out, this was a great and memorable trip. The bikes were of a very good quality and up to the challenges of the many hills and varied terrain of Rajasthan. Our guide, Bupendra, was really great. He made sure we got to see the real India and have lots of opportunity to interact with locals. He even took us to a couple of places for street food, assuring us that we would not get Delhi belly. He was absolutely correct and we had some very tasty lunches on those occasions. We stayed at several Heritage hotels, which turned out to be incredibly amazing palaces. Art of Bicycle did a fantastic job in organizing this trip and planning a very relaxed, informative and unique experience. This was truly a trip for the bucket list!

Wonderful two week experience of Kerala backwaters and mountains. Biking 40-60km day, couple of days hiking and a day kayaking, with plenty of time to relax and explore. Great for wildlife. Highlights include watching sunrise from Western Ghats, nature walk in Periyar wildlife sanctuary, kayaking through backwaters. Additional visits to spice gardens, tea factory, boat builder and toddy restaurant made it feel more than a holiday and more of an education. Knowledgable guides and good minibus support made the daily routing comfortable. Cycling in Indian traffic does take some getting used to, especially frequent use of horns and buses running to a timetable. Our guide Dibin was very safety conscious and had no problems in traffic.

Great accommodations and meals! Could have cycled a bit more on some days where route was very flat and easy to put in the kilometres. Guide very knowledgeable! Would use this tour again

It was a super trip and i loved every minute of it.

Communication pre-ride was timely and helpful. During the ride, our guide couldn't have been better!

Loved my bicycle tour of Sri Lanka. Friendly and knowledgeable guides who went above and beyond to assist us. Accommodation and meals were an authentic Sri Lankan experience

A well organised, enjoyable cycling experience. Local guide knew all the best sights and experiences. A very good variety of accommodation. So highly recommended by me.

A wonderful trip, caring guides, great variety of hotels, flexible as to our wishes and very up to date bikes

Brilliant way of seeing the real countryside. Our guide was absolutely fantastic and the scenery was stunning. We loved our bike tour and would recommend it to anyone wanting to see the rural villages and real countryside. A good alternative to the big tourist cities.

A fantastic and memorable ride through the back roads of Kerala.

Dibin was the perfect guide - very keen to ensure we enjoyed the trip, a lovely person to spend time with and a fountain of knowledge on the local area and the many questions about India that we peppered him with.
The 6 day route through Kerala was full of the beauty of the country, the people, the food and the local way of life. All of which we were able to experience up close and personally with Dibin's expert local knowledge. Fascinating.

Our driver and support person Raju, was also the best, a skilled and careful driver, very polite and concerned for our safety and enjoyment.

This trip ranks as one of the highlights of our many years of travel.
