“Great tour. Koko was a great guide very knowledgeable and caring. So glad we experienced this”
Cycle through Bangkok’s Chinatown, markets, temples, and Thonburi backstreets on a relaxed three-hour tour with local guides.
“I had an amazing time on this tour. Our guides, Pekki and AA, led us seamlessly through the narrow backstreets of Bangkok. It was great to get a look at the regular day-to-day goings-on, away from the main tourist hubs. The tour was well organised and the pacing felt about right to me. P.S. sorry if I misspelled either of the guides names!”
Cycle Bangkok’s quiet Thonburi lanes, visit temples and markets, eat canal-side Thai food, then cruise the waterways by long-tail boat.
“Today I did an absolutely amazing bike tour. Five hours of exploring Bangkok, including a beautiful boat ride across the river in a longtail boat. Along the way you really see everything: rich and poor side by side, stunning buildings, and even monitor lizards resting in the water along the banks. After that we enjoyed an authentic Thai lunch — and I mean real Thai style: seriously spicy 🔥 We got back on our bikes, covered several highlights, and ended at the Big Buddha. So impressive and overwhelming, it truly leaves you speechless. I can highly recommend Otto — go explore the city with him and you’re guaranteed an unforgettable…”
Cycle Bangkok after dark through temple lanes, across the Chao Phraya, and into the flower market on this small-group evening tour.
“We loved this tour. Seeing back streets of Bankok and many sights, having our wonderful guide (Golf, great guy) give us insights into Thai culture and Buddhism along the way... It was brilliant.”
Cycle Bangkok’s back lanes, temples, canals, local homes, and food stalls on a four-and-a-half-hour small-group tour.

Escape Bangkok by bike on a 4-hour ride through Bang Krachao, with canals, temples, markets, a riverside Thai lunch, and hotel pickup.
“Excellent experience with Khan, the bike tour made us feel apart of the local Thai culture. The tour guide was informative, it was fun, and we had local Thai cooking. Great experience overall”
Ride through backstreet Bangkok, visit temples and markets, and share local food with a Thai family on this four-and-a-half-hour bike tour.
“A must-do experience for those wanting a backstreets (off the tourist path) experience in Bangkok. Temples, markets, amazing food and wonderful guides - incredible day. Thank you Chris and Mor for you patience and kindness.”
Cycle Bangkok’s quiet Thonburi lanes, temples, canals, markets, and local neighborhoods on a relaxed three-hour small-group tour.
“I certainly won't forget my all too brief hours cycling through the authentic, colourful, backstreets of Bangkok. Our 2 superb, extremely knowledgeable, guides made this unique adventure come alive! It'll be a real shame not to live this experience yourself. The next time you're in the city, go!!!!! Perhaps, sadly, in the not too distant future, these harsh to delightful vignettes of tight community living, will be swallowed up by many a city's urgent quest for socio-economic development/modernisation. Don't take my word for it, go savour this actual gem for yourself!”
Cycle from Sukhothai villages and rice paddies to UNESCO-listed ruins with a local guide, lunch, bikes, drinks, and hotel transfers included.
“I really enjoyed the day. The temples are simply beautiful, and the tour guide, besides being very kind, gave us many details about the culture, history, and how people live in the villages today. The local food was delicious, and the bike ride was also very pleasant. The rain the previous day turned the trip into an adventure in itself, which made everything even more fun. This cycling tour just made my day.”
Cycle Chiang Mai’s Old City past temples, gates, markets, and quiet lanes on a relaxed four-hour morning or night tour.
“We were unexpectedly lucky to be able to go on the bike tour just the two of us with our guide Mai. She carefully guided us through the traffic and planned the perfect tour for us European "right-hand drivers." Mai has tireless patience, answered all our questions, and even introduced us to Thai temple culture along the way. At the market, we sampled Thai specialties and received recommendations for dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Mai, always felt safe, and gained insight into the old town of Chiang Mai in a very relaxed manner. We highly recommend this provider and would like to thank Mai once again. Übersetzt mit…”

Cycle Bangkok after dark through temple lanes, cross the Chao Phraya by ferry, and explore the Flower Market with a local guide.
“I normally do not spend time on reviewing but I would like to recommend this all who would like to experience Thailand by bike. My guide Seen is exceptional, honestly he is the best guide I ever met. He treated me like a friend and shared with me lots of real stories about this city and country. Also he told stories in a calm and friendly way, I felt not like a pure tourist but a friend. I also enjoyed some street food that I never tried, and all his recommendations were very delicious. I think nighttime is a great timing to explore the busy city. Less traffic and you…”

She kept us supplied with water on a hot day, and was happy to let our small group of 4 take our time to enjoy the experience. Highly recommended.”
