i went with my dad, Super nicely organized. you always are around 1hr 1.5hr riding between stops. Doesnt feel stressed at all. a group of max 10 people is the perfect size for these things the places you see are incredible and the organization is top notch. I was scared at firts because we didnt know what to encounter as first motorcycle trip, but everything was relaxed and felt amazingly smooth. The guide, Pong, was amazing and if you go with him you will have so much fun! totally recommend, for the price, this is a thing i will totally do again!

I've been home a few weeks from my 6 day tour of northern Thailand. What an experience! The country was great - the food, the history, the people AND the ROADS! The way these folks pull off guiding so many groups at once is a pretty cool feat. We actually had 2 guides, Chao and Noah, due to how they switch guides mid stream to allow 3 thru 20 day tours to happen. We came together with 2 other groups for one stay and had good fellowship with others. One night, the owner, Kay had dinner with us and shared stories of his life, the history of BBT and past tour experiences. This is a class act! I will be back! Don't be afraid to book with Big Bike Tours!

It’s a known fact that real bikers all around the world are warm fuzzy people. They are considerate and leave none of their own behind. BIG BIKE TOURS is a tour company run by real bikers. Me and my wife signed up for the 6 days Northern Thailand tour and it was a beautiful experience for us from the time we set foot at Chiang Mai. The tour is well tailored, hassle free with great stays and locations. A big thanks to the entire team of BIG BIKE TOURS for the memorable trip.
