Great way to see the less commercial side of Bangkok with an excellent guide- markets, temples & river views! - My family of 5 (3 teenagers) really enjoyed our half-day guided cycle ride round the back streets of Bangkok. We cycled through narrow alleys and residential areas, visited a couple of Buddhist temples, stopped a few times in market areas, sampled Thai sweet snacks & enjoyed a cold drink near Santa Cruz church in the Portuguese area. We all agreed it was a great experience made memorable by our guide Mai who answered our numerous questions. Please note, We are all cyclists which helped- inexperienced visitors may find the narrow alleys a challenge as well as getting your bike in & off the ferry.

Highlight of our time in Bangkok. - Highlight of our time in Bangkok. Despite the hustle and bustle of Bangkok we were able to find quite back lanes in old Chinatown to ride along. Tea, our guide was excellent. He is clearly passionate about the city. Thank you.

Fantastic bike tour - Our guide was knowledgeable and fun. He spoke excellent English and explained everything. The tour was very interesting and visited some less well known areas of Bangkok as well as the more popular sites. We had a fantastic afternoon.

Afternoon ride out in Bangkok - Excellent guide Fern looked after us for 4 hours while showing us around a 10 mile route based either side of the river. Really impressed with Fern who was informative, friendly and fun. The tour took you to bits of the city you would never find on your own. Definitely recommend and great value…

Excellent tour guide, excellent bike tour! - We had an excellent tour guide “Mam”. Mam is very knowledgeable. We had a great understanding on every attraction we passed by. Her English is very good so that we can communicate with her very well. To ride on a bike to different places in Bangkok is so relaxing. We both enjoyed it so much and just enrolled bike jungle tour tomorrow! Thanks very much Mam.

Great way to see the sights of Bangkok - Fabulous tour round china town and all the major temples in Bangkok. Fern was the guide, she was knowledgeable and really took care to ensure the cycling was safe. The flower market was a highlight as were some of the hidden temples we visited. Would highly recommend.

Disappointing tour - Disappointing tour. Thee was the guide but was more of a bike ride leader, not a guide. We stopped at sites and he didn’t tell us anything about the sites unless asked. We fed the turtles and he gave us 15 minutes to do so and told us no information about the temple where we stopped. Just gave us papaya and left. We biked past the Grand Palace and he didnt give us any info. China town he didn’t proactively say anything, although answered questions if asked. Our food break and beverages was quite inconsiderate. He asked about food allergies and two people — out of 5, small group — didn’t eat pork but he brought a big plate of port satays to the table. And two pieces of mango for five people. And papaya. And he didn’t ask for our drink choices — just handed out bottled water. Someone asked him to get food the whole group could eat but he didn’t. Instead he came back with a huge bowl of noodle soup for himself, sat down in the middle of the table and ate what I suppose his lunch. It was inconsiderate and off putting. During the ride one person’s chain fell off but he was so far ahead he didn’t know. Our reason for signing up was to get an introduction to Bangkok culture and sites and the tour really failed. Have done this type of tour in other cities and they were a thousand times better. At the end of the tour back at the hostel all five of us sat down to chat and he left. He didn’t ask if we have questions or need any restaurant suggestions. Two stars and not 1 because the five of us had a great conversation for 45 minutes after he left and the bikes were good.
