Summary:
Amazing cycle tour with a very nice guide called Salwa. Would highly recommend if you want to see a traditional part of Indonesia. We took the tour at 12:30 and afterwards (15:00) we went to the Prambanan temple to see the amazing sunset (this is not included in the tour). Very easy to combine!
