Review
Folks, thank you so much for the incredible cross-country trip in Bali! The guide was very skilled and friendly, the full-sus bike was in perfect conditions and the trails.. oh my! I'm sure I would have never had this picture of Bali without your services. And I bet that no other cycling company can beat you guys. Oh.. and was that Puri Taman Sari hotel? I swear that I was expecting a hostel-like accommodation, but you just surprised me with that pleasant, cozy resort. I'm already looking forward to return to Bali to book another trip with you. Thanks a bunch again, and again and again.
Just a wonderful three days of cycling with Infinity. A top class organisation. Bikes in good condition, well maintained, great trails and extremely punctual pick up. Lovely lunch and refreshments served throughout. If you love mountain biking, culture and exploring this is the perfect company to go with. Lovely guides, Athur and Su, very fun and careful. I went as a solo female, met lovely people along the way and also felt very comfortable on the one day where I was the sole person riding with a guide. Bali is great MTB territory, both for XC stuff, and also downhilling/enduro jungle fun. Berms, drop offs, descents through mud and jungle, and then stunning rice field and jungle single track too!
