★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My wife and I did the Ava and U Bein sunset tour. Overall we enjoyed the afternoon and really liked visiting local workshops during the ride, Our guide worked hard and the afternoon was relaxed and fun. We did have a couple of significant problems though which means I have rated this lower than I would have liked. The first was that the bikes were surprisingly poorly maintained. My wifes forks were jammed in the down position, so she swapped bikes with the guide. But his rear brake didn't function! Then my right pedal fell off my bike, which could have been really dangerous. On inspection the left pedal was about to fall off too. This was really very poor at this price point and for an international company that made us sign a disclaimer accepting all responsibility, they really need to improve their maintenance and take some responsibility. We rented cycles for just 1500Ky ($1) elsewhere which were better maintained. The other problem we had was the timing was poor on the trip, so we got to U Bein riding the last 20 minutes at a much faster pace just at sun finished setting. We were hurriedly rowed into the lake to see the last few seconds of the sun. Given this was advertised as a sunset trip then I think it should start 30 minutes earlier to you get to enjoy the sunset.
So grasshopper have quite some room for improvement, but the guide was a nice guy and overall we still had a good afternoon. So 3 stars seems about right.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Grasshoper adventures basically made our trip greater ! We tried 4 rides with them (Mandalay and Bagan) and each of them was amazing. It allowed us to discover the city easily, no stress or preparation, they take you to amazing places and explain you with a good english (which is quite rare in the country). With them we could eat local food that we couldnt have discovered without them. We went to hidden gems. We did magic boat rides at sunset (the Ubein one in Mandalay is awesome). On top of that the team is very nice and gave us advice for the rest of our visits.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We thoroughly enjoyed our Ava and U Bien Sunset bike riding tour with our awesome guide, Sai.
We did the tour in late April and the temperatures were very hot, 40+, and we are 2 50+ Aussies unused to the heat and humidity, but the tour was a great mix of flat (and sometimes shady) cycling mainly on back roads, tracks and village streets, and well-timed stops to visit local attractions and home industries (bamboo weaving, alm bowl making, cigarette making, mechanical and manual loom weaving).
The tour was perfectly timed to finish at U Bien bridge for the sunset, and had plenty of stops for drinks and photos.
Sai was a fount of information and his English was very good.
The bikes were in very good condition, and the whole experience was one that we would highly recommend.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ From the booking process with Thwe Thwe to our guide Sye we had an amazing start to our holiday in Myanmar. Straight of the plane we were picked up by Grasshoppers, I was a little apprehensive as it was our first family cycling tour (kids 7 and 10) but it was amazing. Cycling through sleepy villages, calling on locals houses before entering the Court of Ava then finishing at the U Bein bridge. Our guide advised keeping the kids in the van for a three km stretch of busy road definitely the right call they sat and enjoyed the complimentary banana cake!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I took the Ava and u bein sunset tour, having initially assumed I could navigate the area on my own with a rental bike, but then having had a rethink once I saw the mandalay traffic! Its great to start cycling in the peaceful countryside, and I wouldn't have seen the best sights of Ava navigating on my own. Well maintained bikes. Well informed and friendly tour guide. Would definitely recommend.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great way to see another side of Mandalay. Very easy cycling down the back streets and through the countryside. Stopped at a market, farmers house and saw how they make the fried beans. Finished off with food at a traditional tea house. Would definitely recommend it for an alternative to going round in a minibus. Tour guide was great and good way to learn about the Myanmar traditions from a local.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went on the Morning Bike tour of Mandalay. It was awesome. Got to see some temples and then had a great ride out into the countryside and also sampled some local food at a tea shop. Guide was excellent. His knowledge of the area was outstanding and pointed out some things I would have never discovered any other way.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We opted for the "Mandalay Morning Ride" which turned out to be the highlight of our stay in Mandalay, although ironically the best part of this bike ride was the fact it left the dusty city, for the beauty and calm of the surrounding countryside.
Our guide Si was very knowledgeable and made the ride even better than we had hoped it could be, more importantly he was a thoroughly nice guy and good fun to spend some time with.
We had already done the normal sight seeing activities the day before, so I guess our excitement had re-focused on looking forward to the boat ride to Bagan...... well Grasshopper Adventures gave us a new highlight to our journey through Myanmar and we would recommend this ride around Mandalay to everyone. Great guide, easy riding with good company and plenty of laughs...the perfect way to enjoy the people & surrounding countryside of Mandalay. Visiting local cottage industries is totally fascinating and something you just cant do well on your own. Great value for money, thank you.
