5.00Very well organized and safety first approach to the tour. Great guide and learnt much more about Thailand and the countryside outside Chiang Mai. Highly recommended for those that love to ride a bike.

5.00This ride was an easy, amazing ride from Lamphun into Chiang Mai via village and country roads. (We rode the train to Lamphun with our rental bikes). Our guide, An, was very personable and friendly and we felt safe at all times even in the hectic areas with more cars! This tour offers the opportunity to see more of the local culture and have fun at the same time. Food at lunch was delicious!
Relax and enjoy

5.00A rather long ride from Chaing Mai but the twin temples were stunningly beautiful. The waterfalls inside the park are also very large and easy to hike to.
Good way to see the Thai country side and appreciate their lifestyle.

Surprise VIP tour

5.00Doing trips in the off season, the fun part is getting a surprise solo trip. I got to do this bike ride just me and farm. He was a great guide really accommodating and friendly. The views are amazing. Some times i was so nervous riding i had to remind my self to enjoy the scenery that i was riding through. It rained during most of the ride but that did not take away how fun it was to still do it. I think the added plus of it raining is that i didn’t have to deal with the heat. But this is the second i have done a bike tour and it rained on us so now it’s going to be my theme travel to do a bike tour and hope it rains on me. Overall the bike ride was easy the hardest or scariest part really is just the start becuase you bike through the old city just getting use to the different side of the rode and bike but Farm was really good at making sure i was good and watching out for traffic. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for something active and seeing a more calmer country side of the area.
A Great Way to See the Real Chiang Mai

4.00This was a memorable day. Following our patient guide as we cycled through little side streets that led to a train station where we took a short ride and officially began our journey. Our first stop was a temple. Very beautiful, I wish we had more time to explore, but it would have taken hours. As we cycled more, the day started to heat up. By the time we stopped for lunch around 1 pm it was hot. Thankfully our guide did have make some short stops for water (provided). After lunch at a yummy local place it was really hot. We cycled for about another hour and stopped in a cute village area for (iced) coffee and shopping, then finished up with another half hour which had one slight hill. Our guide arranged for a taxi (included) to take us back to our hotel. I would definitely do this cycling tour again, however I would leave at 7am rather than 9am to have an earlier finish and avoid the hot March heat. I would also ask the guide if we could stop more. There were some amazing sights that I wish we would have stopped at, instead we past by them. Finally, the route is easy. Flat and very few parts had traffic. There were four of us on the tour and no one used the E-bike function. Anyone in reasonable shape could do this. I left the day, hot and sweaty with an appreciation of seeing rice fields and how the Thai people live. Definitely worth it!
Not worth the money

2.00The guide who took us was a very poor communicator and managed the time poorly after we had some punctures and lost a lot of time when he went off to a repair shop which he didn’t tell us about but just disappeared for 40mins. He also had no idea how to change a tyre and no extra spares once we had used the 2 spares so we were lucky not to have any further punctures. My partner changed the tyres in the end. One of the e-bikes also did not work properly. They also mixed the trip with people on e-bikes and people without e-bikes and as the terrain was all flat, the e-bike option was too fast for the non e-bikes to keep up with the e-bikers so we did not use the e-bikes which we had paid extra for. The countryside was mainly unremarkable as we got a train to a suburb just outside of Chiang Mai which really wasn’t that interesting and the cycle through the farmers fields was very dull - flat boring countryside and still built up with new housing estates. We saw a couple of temples but the Guide knew very little about them although he tried to answer our questions but his English was not that good and he didn’t know very much. He took us to a basic food cafe and another place for snacks which were also unremarkable and right on a main road which was very unpleasant - we had cycled past many places in quieter lanes. His choices seemed strange. He asked us what we wanted to eat but when we asked what was available, he didn’t seem to know. On a positive, he seemed a nice enough guy and was trying his hardest to make sure we were safe on the road.
Fantastic day bike ride!

5.00Tee's friendliness, stories about the area and culture, and depth of knowledge. The sites we saw were quite interesting. The entire day was a highlight of our vacation! We wanted a longer ride than just a half day, and this was the perfect length.

3.00In fact, we did not take that tour -- the tour operator informed us that »Unfortunately, we do not have an available guide for tomorrow…« and offered us the same tour the next day. Unfortunately, this was not an option for us as we were flying back to Bangkok next day. Undoubtedly, cancelling the trip 18 hours before the start of the trip -- late in the afternoon, at that -- is not an acceptable business practice, as we were relying on the tour we had booked and had missed out on opportunities to book with another operator. I went in person to the tour operator and complained, and they really helped me with an unexpected gesture: as compensation, they offered a complimentary rental of e-bikes. Thus we were able to do e-bike tour on our own, which proved really “a great experience”. I should single out Chiang Mai staff member Bright who did his best to help us out – he called his boss to arrange for the free bike rental.
