Fantastic tour, great experience. I’m glad I didn’t um and ah about this. The value for money is off the charts, a real bargain for the professionalism and skill this company provided. At no point did I feel patronised, out my depth or unsafe. The roads are thoughtfully planned out and the distances travelled allowed for a pleasant and relaxed, but stimulating, adventure. The stops are fantastic, revealing some hidden gems you would miss otherwise, and photos would never do justice. An unforgettable adventure I look forward to replaying in the not too far future. Many thanks to Andy, Jen and the team. Andy -C-

Had an awesome trip with Big Bike Co. Did the 6-day tour going up to the border with Lao and Myanmar and then round to the May Hong Song loop for some incredible switchbacks all the way through the amazing Northern Thailand countryside stopped off at some amazing cafes and local Thai restaurants, eating some great Pad Kra Pao and Thai coffees. We cracked on at a good pace whilst not feeling rushed. My guide Lod was a great source of information and knowledge about the local areas and people, particularly when we went to near the Burmese border with the long neck women in the local village and many other occasions when he had lots of local knowledge that otherwise I wouldn't have understood the culture of the place as well. The accomodation was great quality with the places all being very nicely furnished, air conditioning and several of the hotels had lovely pools and were right on some amazing rivers view such as the first night where we were on the Mekong River! The boss Andy was very welcoming when I came to Thailand and at last minute needed to arrange this trip and when we met at their cafe and restaurant was very welcoming and gave me some good tips and talked me through the trip so I felt very comfortable before setting off, as it had been a year or so since I've done longer motorbike touring. So all in all amazing trip. I would definitely come back and consider going on another trip with these guys but also they've set a very high for any more motorbike touring I do with any other tour operators in future!

Big Bike Touring and the team led by Andy are thoroughly professional. We took a 6 day tour with them in North Thailand and it was a pleasure to be with them. They made it a point that we got the best bikes and in case of issues the resolution was prompt. Also I had some special diet choices and they made it sute that I'm not left in the lurch. Thanks Big Bike Touring
