best biking tour in Bangkok - After a warm welcome we could choose our bike and cycled towards the jungle of Bangkok. In between we made a stop at a boxing school where we could box ourselves. During the tour we were given nice cold water and a delicious lunch afterwards. saw some beautiful things during the tour, so this is definitely recommended.

Rickshaw & Hike the Colors of Bangkok - We had a fantastic day with “Recreational Bangkok Biking”
We did the: Rickshaw & Hike the Colors of Bangkok. Which is a Bangkok Walking Tour Including Rickshaw Ride and Long-Tail Boat Ride
This tour gave us a chance to see a side of Bangkok that Tourists would not normally see.
Our guide, Nam, was so much fun and full of information. We loved our day with her.
Definitely do this tour. The Rickshaw is a great way to tour in the traditional old Thailand way.

Bangkok Rikscha Tour -
We had a great Rikscha Tour in Bangkok with our guide Ohm. He is a very good guide and showed us a different side of Bangkok. The tour was very varied. By foot through the slums, then by boat to the island and on with the rickshaw and visiting the floating market and temple.
Also our two little Kids had a lot of fun and Ohm always took care of the children.
I can really recommend this tour, uncomplicated handling and you can get to know the real local life, away from the tourist attractions.
Thank you!

A side of Bangkok that you wouldn't normally see - This trip showed us a side of Bangkok that you wouldn't normally see and it was all shown to us by a knowledgeable and friendly guide Thatipoom Donsommai known to us as Best.
Firstly he took us through some of the poorest parts of Bangkok followed by a trip across the river by long tailed boat to an area known as the green area where we hiked through some jungle where he explained to us information about various animals and plants .
We then spent some time in a park before moving on to pick up the Rickshaws which took us to a floating market which was very interesting looking at the varied things for sale, particularly in the food range where Best gave us more information about the items for sale.
From there we went to see a Temple with an explanation of the Buddhist faith which once again Best was keen to try and explain as much detail as possible and he did it in a way that wasn't too much information overload, very interesting to be honest.
Then it was back on to the Rickshaws to find a restaurant for lunch which really made us feel non touristy which I love, we went to a Thai restaurant where the menu was all in Thai and with us saying what we liked, Best placed the order and it was great, made us really feel like we were locals .
After eating lunch, chatting with Best and getting a real insight into the Thai culture it was back onto the Rickshaws and of to the pier to cross the river, on the ferry this time.
Best then arranged transport for us back to our hotel.
They ran the trip even though there was just two of us which I think made it feel even more special and our guide, Best made it feel like we were just a group of friends on a day out.
Very enjoyable trip which I would definitely recommend

Really Great Tour - It was a really great Trip,
UP (Guide) showed us a side of Bangkok that we never saw for ourselves.
She was very helpful and we felt very safe and comfortable throughout the trip.
We visited a market and she introduced us to the typical food products.
Then we saw the slums, a kindergarten and a few temples.
Then we had a crossing to the island to take a walk through the jungle.
Then Rickshas continued across the island towards Bangkok to enjoy delicious Thai food in a great restaurant (next to the River) on the way.
At the end we continued with the Rikshas to Peer, to put over with a ferry again.
There was punctually the vehicle for transfer back to the hotel.
It was a really great organized trip, because our guide was very helpful.
Tahnk You very much.

Unseen Bangkok, you will love it! - I have been going to BKK for many years as part of holiday or business, but this tour was a revelation. My wife and I made a late booking for the rickshaw tour with transfers as the office is in the suburbs, It arrived on time and was quite short. The location and the tour started from the office, and visited the local riverside village and down to the river, with a drink stop along the way. Crossed the river into the plantation and farmland, quite an experence! Then onto the rickshaws this was an experence and quite funny, i felt sorry for the rickshaw men, but they were great. All through the tour the guide was friendly, informative and helpful, he made the tour by his enthusiasm and local knowledge. There was only two of us and we felt that our guide treated us as a private tour with lunch in a local dai pi dong. I would recommend this for family and individuals, the guide and company were excellent, and you get too see the other side to Bangkok. Finaly thanks to our guide he made the day.

Exciting trip! Good guidance! - "Best" was our personal guide. He did very well. He explained very much and answered all our questions. We experienced many exciting things: We saw coconut plantations, tasted a wild bean, spotted quite huge spiders (poisonous) and an ant nest in a tree, fed fishes. We entered lanes we wouldn't have entered without companion. It is no ordinary sight-seeing tour. After the trip you will get a YouTube-Link with a compilation of video sequences made of the guides during the trip. Recommendable!

The other side of Bangkok - We did the Rickshaw and Hike the Colours of Bangkok tour with our wonderful guide Anne and as it was only us two, we enjoyed a private tour. Lucky us! We visited a nearby buddhist temple and Anne explained a lot about the temple and the religion in general. Then we moved on to a part of the city, where the poor live. We were greeted very friendly by the people there who despite being not the richest from a financial perspective, they seemed much happier than others. We then transfered to the other side of the river in a Longtail Boat to what is called the lung of Bangkok and to a totally different world compared to the hectic metropolis Bangkok is known for. We saw an area where the locals spend their weekends and fed some fish and then we got onto our rickshaws further on to a market where we almost only met locals with the freshest fruits and other food. And again this thai friendliness. We moved on to another temple and then we had some delicious lunch before we were dropped of where we started. We enjoyed the whole tour a lot and learnt so many things from our very motivated and knowledgeable guide Anne. Thanks once again!
