      Great tour to get a flavour of Chiang Mai
      Saturday half day cycle tour with only the 2 of us as it was not high season yet. The weather was perfect with temperatures in low 20ies. Our guide took us through Chiang Mai showing us the different temple complexes, market and we cycled through the city (did 23km). This tour gives you a good flavour of Chiang Mai so would recommend to start with a tour. You can take your time in the temples to look around, the guide will explain a lot about Chiang Mai There is a stop at the local market where you can buy some fruits, dried herbs and spices and there is food: drinks and some local delicacies (the fried banana was the best I had)

      A Great Bike Day Trip
      We had the best guide ever with "We"! He took us to rice fields talked to us about them, which was very interesting. We visited Burmese children and saw how they lived. We went to a rice cracker family run factory and got to sample the goods. We went to a family run sticky rice business. A temple we went to was really different and very interesting. Our guide made it interesting -- he was simply terrific. I recommend this tour highly.

      A fantastic tour of the Thai countryside
      This bike tour is a must! Our tour guide Wit was very personable and shared a lot of information about the culture, Buddhism, farming life, and how the Thai shop for food. The terrain was flat so although I had not ridden a bike in 15 years the cycling was not at all difficult. We stopped at about 12 places along the way and Wit helped take pictures for us. The bikes were also in very good condition. Wit stopped to buy us cold drinks and more water when he thought we should have it. He was a great guide and really made the trip a terrific experience.

      Delightful treats in a beautiful countryside
      Our guide Wii was engaging from the first hello, greeting us as our taxi pulled up, making sure each aspect of our bikes was just right. One delightful experience after another, and wonderful stories of the culture, how this is reflected in the daily lives of Thai families. We loved spending the day with Wii!

      Full Day Chiang Mai Paradise Bike Tour
      Our trip was excellent! Such a great way to experience the Thai culture. Our tour guide, Wit, was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining things along the way and spoke fluent English. Wit did a great job at getting us to try authentic Thai cuisine. He also went out of his way to provide opportunities for us to interact with the local Thai people. The excursion provided a great and unique opportunity to experience the outskirts of Chiang Mai would recommend again. 🇨🇦

      A special experience biking in Chiang Mai
      The tour guide could help me to learn more about the Chiang Mai people living conditions. It is a mixture of a recreational, cultural and educational biking tour.

      Fun Morning in Chiang Mai
      We spent a great 4 1/2 hours learning about Thai culture and foods while biking from place to place in Chiang Mai. The biking was much easier than a similar tour that we took in Bangkok due to less congestion on the roads, while it was still interesting to bicycle in the Thai traffic patterns, which is very different than US or European practice. The biking was not physically difficult as we only traveled about 15 km going from stop to stop. The tour leader, a young Thai lady, was very nice and knowledgeable.

    This Biking tour is a very different and fun way to see Chiang Mai. You get to see the true colors of the city, learn about the lives of the people, and see some cool things off the beaten path. Koi was our guide and she was very good!

    We loved our 1/2 day bike tour guided by Wee! The riding was easy and the comfort bikes made riding in our street clothes (we bike at home and usually wear padded bike shorts) absolutely fine for our 1/2 day ride. We started early beating the heat of the day and making the ride very pleasant temperature wise. We felt very safe on the ride, as Wee always made sure to lead us as we crossed roads which I really appreciated. Wee is a very knowledgeable guide, his English is excellent and we learned a lot about the ancient Lanna kingdom, the Loy Krathrongh festival and Thailand in general. One of the things we enjoyed most was the way Wee made an effort to introduce us to local people we met along the way...and the wonderful lunch we had at a very small local restaurant. We highly recommend this excursion.

    Beautiful half-day private bike tour on the outskirts of Chiang Mai with stops at temples, schools, bakeries, rice fields and carp feeding. Very detailed description on the organizer's website, nice guide ("Khoi"). The route is also demanding for a 9-year-old child due to the bike, short stretches also pass through very busy areas. Tip: book the tour at 8:00 a.m., as experience has shown that there is less rain then.

    My buddy and I had an afternoon private tour with Wee, which exceeded both of our expectations. Out of all the activities I did in Bangkok, Chiangmai, and Phuket, this was probably my favorite experience. Although every stop of the normal tour wasn't available because of Covid, it was a pleasure biking through the scenic countryside of Thailand. It was a very culturally immersive experience that authentically felt you were part of the local community where tourists would not normally go. Wee was very friendly and enthusiastic even though he had just finished giving a tour right before ours. The bike ride itself was about 17 miles total and I wouldn't say it was difficult at all. I recommend bringing sun protection. A large bottle of water is provided and there are stops where you get to try a unique snack and have a meal of Khao Soi. A+++

    It was lovely relaxing family day out on very comfortable bikes. Our guide, was top class, he showed us so many different things in the area and brought us to a nice local place to eat. The only minus was the location of start point, you either needed a car or take a cab to get there, same to get back to your accommodation. But it was worth the effort!

    Wee was an amazing tour guide! We loved exploring the different landscapes of Chiang Mai! We stopped at various farms and learned about their agriculture. Lunch was a hole in the wall spot with incredible koh soi. We rode about 18 miles but everything was mostly flat- not a difficult ride.

    Had a very nice morning cycling through the hinterland of Chiang Mai. It was just the 4 of us and the guide. The guide was super nice and knew everything about the region. You cycle on good bicycles with gears and stop at different places to see how the locals live. You can taste different dishes and take photos. A very fun and relaxing trip.

    We took the afternoon ride around the Chiang Mai countryside. We rode through some temple ruins, rice paddy fields and a bazaar. We stopped by for lunch (provided for) where the cook made excellent fried rice, pad thai and basil chicken. The bicycles were well maintained and comfortable. The guide was patient and courteous. There is a lot of riding by the road side with vehicles, so some may be intimidated if not used to it, but Thai drivers and motor cyclists were extremely courteous and gave way which we're really thankful for.
