5.00Excellent tour. Bikes were good & well maintained. Collected from a bike shop so could be adjusted if necessary. James our guide was funny & v informative. It was great fun & really interesting to follow him on the back alleys & see some lesser known spots in Chaing Mai. Would really recommend this trip. The ride is flat & not strenuous. Big roads are avoided where possible , in fact most of the ride was in the back roads &alleys.
Highly recommend!

5.00this is a great way to see some of the highlights of the old town area, learn about the history of Chiang Mai, and take in the sites. Farm was a great guide, we stayed mostly on quieter streets so we weren't fighting with cars on busy streets, and Farm even showed us a great place for lunch and a massage after we were finished.
Great time around Chiang Mai

5.00This is a great way to see the quieter back streets of Old Town Chiang Mai and visit temples and the Three Kings Monument. Our guide Mr. T shared lots of information about Buddhism and local history. We felt safe following his direction and cycling the chosen route. Quality bikes and helmets are provided, as well as a refreshing drink and a snack. We enjoyed touring Old Town in this way. Thank you Mr. T!

5.00A lovely sedate and informative cycle tour around Chiang Mai. Mai led us off the busy main roads and along the back streets to a few temples and markets. Such a lovely lady, spoke great English and not only explained what we were seeing but also about Thai and Buddhist life in general.
