5.00I had an absolutely unreal experience on this bike tour. From start to finish, it felt less like a standard tour and more like something tailored just for me. Vivi was an absolute standout. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about everything along the route, but she delivers it with so much personality and humor that you’re constantly engaged. She’s genuinely funny without trying too hard, and there’s something about her vibe that just puts you at ease straight away. It honestly felt like I was being shown around by someone from back home rather than a guide I’d just met. Super down-to-earth, welcoming, and just great energy all around. Dan, the intern, deserves serious credit too. Calling him an intern almost feels wrong because his knowledge and professionalism are already at a top level. His English is excellent, communication was smooth the whole time, and he carried himself with the confidence of a lead guide. With the way he handled everything, I’d be surprised if he stays an intern for long—he’s more than ready to step up. Genuinely impressive. Both Vivi and Dan made sure I felt looked after the entire time. The service was warm, attentive, and effortless. You can tell they really care about giving people a great experience, and it shows in every detail. Highly recommend this tour—if you get Vivi and Dan, you’re in for something special.
Amazing experience

5.00The tour exceeded expectations, which was high given all of the five star reviews. Vivi was super knowledgeable and passionate about the city. We also really appreciated that she took pictures while we were touring and sent them to us afterwards. We had a small group - just five of us, including Vivi. Most of the time we were on side streets but we occasionally were on the main streets with lots of exhaust. If you are sensitive to exhaust, bring a mask!
Great.

5.00I did this 3 hour tour which was led by Vivi. She was extremely welcoming, courteous and enthusiastic. I am not a very experienced cyclist and was somewhat uncomfortable in the traffic. She adjusted the tour to start with quieter places and very safely guided me on busier streets. After a few minutes I grew in confidence. I got to see parts of Chiang Mai that I couldn't have managed on my own and wouldn't have learnt as much as I did with her. Very much enjoyed the conversations with her and the tea and shome shopping in the Warorot market! I would like to come back and do a longer tour with her!
A perfect ride to get to know Chiang Mai

5.00We had a near perfect experience on our city bike tour! Our guide, Vivi, was absolutely excellent—her English was very good, she made everything fun, and she showed us so many different sides of the city. We loved riding through the narrow side streets and (jokingly!) risking life and limb on the busy roads. It added to the adventure and the charm of the experience. Vivi also took fantastic photos of us along the way and sent them afterward, which was such a great touch. Wonderful memories captured and shared! Overall, highly recommended. A great way to explore the city and enjoy a bit of excitement along the way!
Great experience, an activity you shld not miss in Chiang Mai

5.00I joined a city cycling tour in Chiang Mai today and it was a fantastic experience. The route was well planned, and easy to follow. We explored many parts of the old city and local neighborhoods that I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. The guide Vivi was super friendly, knowledgeable, and explained the history and culture of Chiang Mai in a clear and engaging way. The pace was relaxed, with enough stops for photos, water breaks, and explanations, so it never felt rushed. The bicycles were in good condition and the overall organization was very professional. This tour is a great way to experience Chiang Mai from a different perspective while staying active. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
Great Experience cycling in Chiang Mai

5.00Joined the Half day city bike tour in the evening. We were the only two for this tour and enjoyed a great time, as our Guide Vivi gently and safely took us through the city. Free to ask anything about what you want to know about Chiang Mai. We are lucky to have enough time for conversation with our guide ViVi. She is kind, smart ,humorous and a professional Guide. Highly recommended for this tour!
