Set off at 4pm, back by 6pm. Scenic, interesting sites, easy and well worth doing. Bikes were in good condition and everything provided. Had a 2 hour accompanied bike ride through farmlands, then housing areas , then towns , then around Sigiriya. Ages 9-52 . All found the ride easy and flat. Felt safe at all times even though there are small sections on road, mostly 1 lane dirt roads , the guide rode wider and protected from some passing vehicles. Had support vehicle follow us the whole way to also add safety. Would recommend from ages 9 and up. Anybody struggling is offered a ride in vehicle. Suitable for all group sizes. Great value for money.
