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!

Amazing! My favorite tour in Bangkok! If there’s anything you MUST do is this tour. We got to see parts of town we wouldn’t see otherwise. Knowledgeable well speaking team of two (one to lead and the other takes photos and is there in case anyone needs extra help) both are incredibly helpful and have carefully crafted an unforgettable bike route. Pace is just right easy to keep up. Don’t miss it!

The route selected fell short of ideal. While I value experiencing the authentic way of life and culture, paddling for three hours through filthy streets proved to be far from enjoyable.

We rode around Thon Bury area all the pathways and back streets! It was a truly authentic thai real life experience. So happy and grateful that we chose it, so different then all other tours we found online. Highly recommended!!!🤩🤩

I have very mixed reviews about this bike tour. I absolutely loved riding through the back streets / suburbs of Bangkok. Seeing how and where the locals lived, seeing both the concrete jungle streets and also what felt like lush green jungle streets!! Surprisingly to me, there really are some lovely picturesque bridges, alleyways, canals and streets!! And seeing some of the stunning temples and the large gold Buddha was fantastic!! However - Whenever the guide stopped to explain about an artefact or something, as she was at the front of the group she would just stop, get off her bike and start talking, not waiting for the whole group to join. Although what she did say about temples / particular streets etc was very interesting so it was a shame some people missed the beginning sometimes. She would also give her ‘schpeal’ as if she was telling us she’s putting the bins out. Granted - when you probably say the same things every day it’s hard to show much enthusiasm. Even though we went through some lovely places, the guide was going at such a speed you weren’t able to stop to take any pictures, only when the whole group stopped. It was as if this route was your daily commute so you didn’t need to see the surroundings as you’ve seen it all before multiple times!! If you did stop for any reason or blinked and missed where the group had gone down a side alley, they don’t wait for you and you have to find your own way to catch up with them. Thankfully when this happened to me a local pointed out where the group had gone. When I’ve done this sort of tour before there has always been a support rider who stays at the back of the group. This was not always that case for this tour. They also seem to think people taking the tour are locals who know their way around and how to navigate through the tiny alleyways and along the busy highways. Maybe the safety aspect was a concern to me as I’m from the UK, but they thought nothing of taking the whole group across what felt like the Hanger Lane Gyratory (an exceptionally busy roundabout with A Roads in west London). The main guide stopped the group in the way of a line of oncoming traffic, then we had to cross before the next lane of traffic started!! Not only did they not seem to think about our safety - it seemed to be funny to them, saying: ‘quickly cross ha ha ha’ …. 😑. But then seeing the train coming into the station with no level crossing to close the road, I guess that’s just the way Bangkok rolls with H&S 😂!! There are also a couple of bridges to cross that have steep stone steps - you have to carry your bike up. No help, support or guidance is given. Just FYI if you’re not overly strong. Bikes were comfortable with good breaks. You also get a bottle of water at the start and there is a stop halfway through in a little street where you can buy cold drinks. A lovely touch at the end was that they airdrop all the pictures the support rider has taken of the group on the way round. Although I wish I’d known he was doing this as I would have smiled / waved at the camera when I saw him a few times!! Overall I did enjoy the tour - getting away from the hustle and bustle of say, China Town, and seeing another side and the real daily life of Bangkok. I’m pleased i did it.

Very interesting insights into Bangkok outside of the tourist hubs. The guides were great and I had a very good afternoon.

This was one of the high spots of our visit to Bangkok, it gave us a chance to see a part of the city which you couldn't do any other way and it was the real Bangkok built around the waterways. The guides were excellent, very informative, good pace for the whole group with plenty of stops to take it all in. It's a must and top of your list if visiting Bangkok

Really good we felt really looked after on the roads. The staff were great. Went to places you would never find on your own. Definitely do this. Plenty of good information given along the way.

Loved our bike tour! During our trip to Thailand, we wanted to do something a little off the beaten path and found this bike tour. We loved our afternoon of seeing parts of Bangkok that we would have never seen otherwise and it was one of our favorite parts of the trip. The length was great and we even got to visit a market that most people don't know about. It was great to learn more about the communities, visit the small canals, and make friends with the locals. Highly recommend the tour!

I would rate this experience as average. While the guides were nice and friendly, there were some discrepancies. The leading guide mentioned that the biking tour would proceed slowly to enjoy the views, but, in reality, he rode the bike quite fast, and at stopping points, he began explaining things without waiting for everyone to gather around. The most concerning aspect was the last part of the tour, where we had to ride a very narrow road full of rocks beside the railway. This felt dangerous, and any misstep could result in injury. My friends and I found this part stressful. On a positive note, the girl guide was patient and waited for bikers who fell behind.

The bike tour was fun. If you want to support a small local entrepreneur, this is a good one. The bikes were of good quality but the group was a bit to big, luckily they decided to split us after starting. Note: this tour stays is thon buri, it does not go through more parts of the city!

Definitely a must to do when you are in Bangkok!! This tour will let you see all the beautiful spots outside of the city center and let you feel you experienced the locals! The tour guide is really good in explaining and a nice person who has a heart for his company! Gitta was also a really friendly lady who helped the group to stay together and makes nice pictures for you! If we didn’t book this tour we would’ve not enjoyed Bangkok so much! Thank you so much!

We loved how authentic and laid back it was. Bit hair raising crossing the roads but mastered it well. We went mainly around to local areas allowing us to truly see how the locals live. They were all so friendly. We got to see a few temples and were given alot of information on Buddhism. Very enlightening. 3hrs is a long time but we covered alot of ground and ended it at the market for some refreshing fruits and drinks. The bikes were good sturdy bikes. Pays to have a good fitness level and balance. Our host was very humble.

Such an amazing experience!! The guides were fantastic. I was late getting to the meeting point due to traffic and a guide waited for me to arrive and took me to meet up with the group! Wonderful people and experience. If you want to see the real Bangkok this is the way to do it ❤️

Guita and Tommy did a great job of taking us thru places 99% of the tourists would never see. Great insight in to the local culture and diverse neighborhoods.

We very much enjoyed the tour. It was such fun and interesting to see Bangkok life on the backstreets, cycling around areas that we would not have seen on our own. The guides were friendly, helpful and informative. Confidence in the use of a bike is a must but the mileage is relatively low so biking fitness isn’t essential.

Tour guides are great! Very patient, with less experienced bike riders. 3-hours was the perfect tour length for our group. Highly recommended. The guides' local knowledge is great and they clearly have a very good relationship with the local people in the neighborhood, making it a very relaxed, comfortable, friendly experience. Not once did I feel we were intruding or interrupting the daily lives of the locals, who were very friendly and welcoming.

I could experience the unique and authentic Thai people's lives during this tour, especially since their warm welcome was so touchable, and it was enough to recharge my internal warmness. Strongly recommand this tour!🚴🏼🚴‍♀️🚴🏻‍♂️
