See What Our Guests Are Saying
The cycling tour took us to places the average tourist would not have visit. The scenery was spectacular and the visits to the Kampung were fun and interesting. The dinner was good too! Our guide Farrah was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and had a real passion for the heritage and culture of Kuching. We felt well cared for and in safe hands. Highly recommend as a must do while in Kuching.
Great experience with Paradesa Borneo, great bikes and highly professional tour to recommend for anyone looking for a gentle bicycle ride around Kuching during golden hour. Our guide Delilah was very friendly, and careful about our security, always adapting to our pace and needs. We did few stops on the way to enjoy the scenery and peaceful atmosphere in local villages we past through. This tour is the perfect addition to a classic city tour in Kuching, to discover the out-of-the-beaten tracks in the outskirts of the city, while cycling around the river. Highly recommended!
