    Farm was an amazing guide! This is a must do! My only wish is that I did it earlier in my trip to explore all those hidden cafes and eateries in the small side streets. We also saw temples and markets. Very enjoyable 10/10 🙌🏼

  • A nicer way to see Chiang Mai

    Easy ride through the old town. My guide Farm was knowledgeable and flexible. As I was the only person in the group, I asked if we could travel a bit further. I loved it, especially along the canal. Bike was in good condition and easy to ride. The route was very flat and roads were generally very quiet, I felt safe all the time.

  • An excellent trip around the old city

    We booked our trip from the UK before flying out and the reviews on Tripadvisor helped us make the decision to book this particular tour, The bikes are very good and we had been asked to provide our height so when we arrived, the bikes had already been selected and set up to our particular measurements. We chose to take our own cycle helmets, but these are provided for you, as is a bottle of water. The bikes are very good quality and you do not need to worry about changing up and down the gears because the ride is at a very relaxed pace. Our guide Don was really friendly and very knowledgeable about the old city and gave us lots of information on the route about the history of Chiang Mai and the various temples. We only visited 3 plus the old gates around the city which is surrounded by a moat. We firstly visited the local morning market and then discovered Chiang Mai was holding its annual flower festival so we were able to see all the flower floats parading through the old town and view the stunning flower displays in the park. We had a coffee/juice stop and it was great to chat with the other couple in our group who came from Munich and learn also about their country. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and can highly recommend this trip.

    A great activity to discover hidden spots around the city and get away from the usual tourist areas. The bikes were well maintained, and the tour was well guided and safe. A very enjoyable experience that we would highly recommend. Thank you, Tiew!

    This is a really good activity. Kitty was our guide. He was very professional and full of local knowledge. The cycling was safe on many back lanes of the old town. The smoothie stop, with local snacks picked up around our journey was a brilliant end to our morning. I would highly recommend this.

    It was an interesting tour gave you some information about where you can go and what you can see. I wish I would have done the tour at the beginning of my stay instead of the end. I also wish we would have spent a little more time at the market and a little more time at the temples our tour could take up to four hours and we were done in three.

    Excellent 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!
