Fun tour - Very nice bike ride through Chiang Mai. The Guide cycled with us along roads where you would otherwise never go and so you got a realistic picture of the real Chiang Mai. We also stopped at local markets for some explanation and for tasting some local specialties. We also visited a temple and got an explanation about the Buddhist faith in Thailand. York and Anna, our guides, were very friendly and spoke good English. All in all, this bike tour is highly recommended to explore Chiang Mai.

Nice relaxed tour of Chiang Mai - We experienced the tour as very relaxed. Quietly cycling through the small streets of Chiang Mai, along the narrow canals and walking through the market in Chinatown. Along the way we were able to taste various Thai fruits, including durian. Our New York guide also tried to teach us some Thai words. We like that very much. Due to a stupid incident my husband was injured during the trip. The guide Mimi who rode behind was our rock and stayed with us during the entire visit to the hospital and even arranged food because we had missed it on the tour. Topper.

An easy ride through the secret Chiang Mai only known by local residents. - A great back roads tour of the secret Chiang Mai. Full of history, art and the market was amazing. Comfortable bikes and the dead flat terrain made for easy riding. The guides were friendly and helpful while in the background making sure everything went to plan. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who can ride a bike.

An instructive stroll - Nice itinerary, quite pace and great guides: a nice zigzag, mostly in the old town, carefully chosing quite roads, but passing by the nicest temples in the old town, thw market, Chinatown plus the silver temple. The last part, near the canal was also very nice.

Co van Kessel Chiang Mai - bike tour with 3 young children - After we did the bike ride with Co van Kessel in Bangkok, we also wanted to cycle in Chiang Mai. So we did that again with Co van Kessel.
Guides Mimi and Nack provided a safe trip in which we learned a thing or two about the city and its history.
Along the way we got plenty to drink and taste Thai delicacies.
A great trip, not too long or complicated. Especially not for NL families with sufficient cycling experience!

Bit boring - Sushi was really great, told a lot and took the time and I really enjoyed seeing and walking through the market, we have just been to Bangkok and we thought it was fantastic... this route was a bit less so...

Compared to Bangkok it is a bit boring - After doing the bike tour in Bangkok, we found the tour in Chiang Mai a bit disappointing. We missed the energy and action that Bangkok had. We thought it was a bit of a waste of money. If you prefer a quiet, relaxed bike ride, I definitely recommend the tour.
