Great historic tour - Katty was unbelievably knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor while taking us all around the historic temples and surrounding area of Sukhthai. This was such a great tour - and lunch was amazing! This is such a little known area of Thailand and it was a wonderful treat. This is a lot of biking, but it didn't feel like it was - there are enough stops that you get on and off to stretch often.

Great tour of old Sukhothai - First off, if you're on the fence about including Sukhothai in your travel plans, don't hesitate. It won't disappoint. It is beautiful and especially tranquil. A bike tour is a great way to see all the sites. We enjoyed our day with Katty who was very friendly, warm and very knowledgable about all the sites we toured. We felt this tour that covers both the Historical Park and surrounding countryside to be a good balance. Katty was open to stopping where we wanted and took our picture multiple times throughout the day. She also took us to a ceramic studio and walked us through a wet market. We had a wonderful day.

Great cycle tour at Sukhothai city and historical Park - It was an excellent tour with our guide Katty. She offered explanations about the monuments and Buddhist and Hindu traditions. We even stopped by her house to enjoy a delicious pomelo. We recommend the tour.

Just perfect - I really enjoyed my cycling tour today! My guide was Katty, she is amazing believe me. She is very patient, gentle and loves to share her knowledge of the history and culture of the beautiful places you are going to visit with her. Cycling is always in flat, often in shadow, you have multiple breaks and Katty is very nice you can ask her to stop whenever you need it and she is also very good in taking photos so u can collect unforgettable memories

The most organized way to see the outlying areas of Sukhothai - I did the “countryside” part of the tour covering the east, north, west and south sections of the Historical Park. I had done the central part of the park earlier. Cycling Sukhothai was very accommodating of my schedule. The guide, Mem, was very knowledgeable. Most impressively, she had a well planned route that hit all of the important sires, but was at the same time built around my interests. Highly recommended.

Experience not to be missed - Jib is a spectacular person, of an incredible kindness and professionalism it was a pleasure to spend time with him and his family who accompanied us throughout the tour taking care of keeping an eye on the group and supplying it with fresh water at every stage and typical local homemade dishes, delicious!! Also knowledge of the place and impeccable explanation. The sunset at the end of the day with dinner made at the local market was the icing on the cake.
Everything perfect at an amazing price, highly recommended!
