Good bikes, good and friendly guide, off the beaten track tour through Bangkok. The organization is run by local people.

It was a varied route. In the beginning we crossed the Chao Praya river and made a short visit to the beautiful Wat Arun temple. I could even make a complete visit if I wanted. We then followed a zigzag tour through green countryside-like Thonburi on narrow concrete footpaths, along little canals and little houses, and occasionally a temple. At many places you could halt at the top of a steep little bridge and have a picturesque view of its surroundings. Oh, and all that fish!
Jae and Van were very friendly and helpful and willing to inform me about everything, or to indulge particular wishes, like visiting a plant nursery.
If you like bicycling, I really recommend it!

This bike tour was our first activity since arriving at midnight the previous day. It was a perfect choice following 20+ hours on airplanes. My adult daughter and I were greeted at 9:00 in our hotel lobby by Jay, who turned out to be a fabulous tour guide. We had booked our tour through Urban Adventures/Intrepid, and didn’t realize we were getting an awesome historical tour. Jay is a wealth of knowledge; we learned so much of Thailand’s history as we pedaled through alleys and back-ways. We stopped at two temples, one where we were the only tourists and one with many other visitors. Jay made sure we were well hydrated and introduced us to local snacks at street side vendors. Perfect tour guide!

A great way to see the historical side of Bangkok, away from the traffic and noise. My guide was super, well informed and fun to be with. I enjoyed the temples and her knowledge about their history.
I went on a morning tour and by lunchtime I was fairly overcome with the heat and humidity. Be ready!

I booked this “Bangkok by Bike” tour via Urban Adventures/Intrepid already a couple of months in advance. It turned out that the tour sold by Urban Adventures is actually the “Historical bike tour” from “Velo Thailand” which I can highly recommend to book it directly with Velo Thailand!
As my tour started at 9am on the morning of New Years day, I was the only attendant. My guide, Jay, welcomed me at my hotel and brought me to the bike shop. The bike I used was good quality, quite new and well serviced, together with a helmet.
Jay led me from Banglamphu through back streets to the small villages in the outskirts of Bangkok, to the west of Chao Phraya river. She explained that this used to be the capital of the Kingdom of Thonburi, when we fed the fish at some temple alongside the many canals. We continued to see some more Wats and visited the flower market after crossing the river by ferry. Afterwards, we had a coffee at a really stylish location. Jay showed me some spots of Bangkok that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise and she gave me many insights to this unique mixture of history, Buddhism and normal people’s lives in her society. We returned to the bike shop around 2:30pm.
Jay is a fantastic tour guide and impressed me with both her knowledge and her passion for her job. She answered all my questions, adjusted the tour to my wishes – as it was just her and me – and made it fun and safe to cycle around Bangkok. I can clearly recommend the tour!

We had a local tour guide called Jay and she rocks.
We discovered the back alleys, markets and temples of Bangkok away from the touristy crowd and also the hustle and bustle of the city.
I cannot recommend more this visit and the guide, Jay.
They are also very honest and rigorous (and reimbursed us because of the kids discount for example)

I thought this was a great way to see the “real” Bangkok, although it also took in some of the key sites - including Wat Arun and Wat Po (quieter and more atmospheric by night). Brilliant for solo travellers - the tour went ahead even though I was the only person booked on! The bike was pretty new and well serviced and the guide (Jimmy?) treated me to snacks and drinks on the way round - he’s also a key photographer, so there were plenty of photo opportunities!

We had a slightly shaky start to the day, having been bamboozled at the the river taxi jetty into buying a ticket for some private boat rather than the ferry we actually wanted. This meant a very hot 30 minute dash to get to the Nova City Hotel where we had been told to rendezvous by the booking service we had used before leaving. We then arrived 10 minutes late and were desolate to find no-one there. Unfortunately the booking service did not actually say who the tour was with so we were completely stuck for a way to get in touch with them!.
All was well though because after about 15 minutes, a very friendly lady turned up looking for here two missing group members. This was Jay, our guide.
The Hire shop was literally just around the corner from the hotel, so we were under way pretty quickly, having been kitted out with good quality Trek bikes and decent helmets.
The tour was going to be based in the old city, but we first had to get there. This required winding our way through a combination of back alleys and some pretty intimidating city roads. Jay and here colleague Mr. Wendt (glasses) were brilliant though and kept us and the impatient traffic safely separated.
This was the theme for the next four hours as we threaded our way through a fascinating mixture of history, Buddhism and normal peoples lives in this amazing river dwelling society - Bangkok most certainly deserves it's reputation as the Venice of the East.
We had a few breaks, and Jay treated us to some delicious fruit and street vendor tofu for sustenance, we were also regularly offered refills of water.
The tour ended where it began, at the shop, with us participants slightly saddle sore, and in my personal case pretty worn out as well!
It was a terrific day, and we saw and learnt so much that you could not get from a self guided tour using public transport.

Re review "stolen tools". The other gentleman in Germany has found the tools put in his bike lock bag.
We will be re-writing the review as positive and apologise for the misunderstanding. He had checked the box prior to us writing bur had not found them as they were hidden in the lock-bag
