We did this tour with Wayan in Feb with our 5 year old son and 63 year old mum. We were picked up at 7 am (make sure you eat before it was a while until breakfast). It was a geat day. We asked to visit a school and took books and pencils for that. Son started on his own bike but ended up in seat on back of mine. Mum did about 2/3 then went in bus - she is not the fittest and has a few health issues but managed quite well. We had a great time until I slipped dismounting on a steep hill and suffered a leg injury, the staff were fantastic and very concerned for my well being. They even took me on a scooter into the compound for lunch as I could not walk ( I didn't eat as was in too much pain) but others all said food was fab.Was fantastic and it was a day well worth the money. My injury was a torn(and is only just getting better 5 months later) calf muscle in two places and a torn plantaris tendon so be careful dismounting on steep hills or too close to road edge as it is uneven - I also had a 5 year old in a baby seat which destabilsed the bike so remember to always always have travel insurance as things happen quickly. I am looking forward to another trip in Sept maybe 2 early to do a tour with my leg but at least I will be able to walk around this time rather than spend all but 2 days in a wheelchair. Do the tour you won't be disappointed. Take lollies to give out along the way
